4 Car Lot 1966 & 1970 Volkswagen Bug, 1974 Vw Super Beetle, 1971 Squareback on 2040-cars
White City, Oregon, United States
Please read the entire description and terms of sale before buying or asking questions.
Here we have four project cars for sale in one lot. #1: 1966 VW Bug...red. Reluctantly I'm putting this car up for sale. I was planning on building this car, but I have many projects going on right now. It's a good solid project worthy of building. The body is fairly straight and solid. Nice heater channels, nice A-pillars and even the floor pans are good. It has a some body filler coming off on the passenger rear quarter and a small amount of wrinkling on the RH side of the front apron area...which would be hidden by a fender or a pretty easy fix. I remember looking at the floors last year and they were pretty nice other than surface rust. Obviously missing parts and has NO engine. Don't know if the brakes work. No title unless it's in the car somewhere, the keys are in the ignition. (I may consider taking this car out of the lot.) #2: 1970 VW Bug...yellow. It's a good solid project worthy of building. The body is pretty straight and solid. This car is pretty complete with all seats. Has an IRS transmission still in the car. Obviously missing some parts and has NO engine. I don't know if the brakes work. I think it will need some floor pan work, but it's a west coast car, so it's simple sheet metal. It's been sitting next to a tree, so that's why it looks dirty, it has a nice body. I have a clear Oregon title and the key here with me. #3: 1974 VW Super Beetle...orange. Good solid dry body. Missing engine, trans and other parts. I don't know if the brakes work. Assume it needs floor pan work, but it's a west coast car, so it's probably just simple sheet metal. There is no title or key that I know of, unless they are in the car. #4: 1971 VW Automatic Square Back. It's a worthy project. The body is fairly straight and solid. The car is pretty complete minus the steering wheel and carburetors. It has an engine and automatic trans in it. I do not know their condition, but my dad did say that the engine would turn by hand. I don't know if the brakes work. It will need floor pan work as the floors are bad, but it's a west coast car, so it's probably just simple sheet metal. I have the keys here with me. There is no title that I know of unless it's in the car. Assume the tires will be flat on all these cars when you get there and assume you will have to load them your self. If you are having a transport truck pick them up, I can see about getting someone to air up the tires. There is a bend on the driveway that won't accommodate a full car carrier. Maybe a two or three car carrier at the most will make the corner. I'm not going to state all the obvious as these are all project cars. I took all these pics about a month ago. I can send a bill of sale for all the cars or you can use this listing for your bill of sale and handle that on your own. I prefer to sell all four together as I want to keep it simple as possible. I may keep the 66 and break them up if they are here after this listing. I have two 67 bugs here in Ca. to use for what ever parts I need to mostly complete the 66. I will sell them or part them out once the 66 is gone. Terms of sale: These cars are located on my Grandfathers property in Southern Oregon in White City / Sams Valley (Medford area). A $500. NON refundable Pay Pal deposit is due immediately after winning this listing. I'm located in Capitola Ca 95010. The full balance is due in my hand within three days of listing end. I will accept cash in person to me in Capitola Ca., US Postal money orders sent to me in Capitola Ca. or I will accept bank deposit or wire transfer (add $30.). If you need to over night the payment to get it here on time, please do so. NO other forms of payment are being accepted. My Grandfather runs a company and is very busy, he doesn't have the time to show cars. You will need to make your decision based on the pictures and information I have provided. By winning this listing you are accepting these used project vehicles in their current condition regardless of all their faults or imperfections, title or registration status etc. Buyer is responsible for setting up transporting these cars and all costs involved.

VW decides against active-cooling system for e-Golf lithium battery
Tue, Apr 1 2014When the 2015 VW e-Golf was introduced at the LA Auto Show last year, VW said it would come with a water-cooled battery. During the Detroit Auto Show, when the car was trotted out again, VW released a new press release that stripped out the "water-cooled" language, but this change went unnoticed. During a recent VW event in Germany, a friend from Green Car Reports realized that the battery on display did not seem to have any water-cooling mechanisms. That set us off on a bit of a sleuthing and we have now learned that VW is not going to include any active cooling in the upcoming e-Golf. In fact, the company is entirely confident that this car - because of what it's designed to do - doesn't need it. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there" - VW's Darryll Harrison VW has been working on an electrified Golf for ages now, and so changes to the plan are to be expected. But battery cooling is vitally important not just to keep the car operating properly but because when things get too hot, there can be serious public relations problems. Nissan began testing a new battery chemistry for the Leaf in 2013 after an uproar from warm-weather EV drivers in Arizona who were experiencing worse-than-expected battery performance. The Leaf has always used an air-cooled battery, which is another way to say that there is no active cooling system (more details here). Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said this approach is "primitive." So, why is VW following the same path? We asked Darryll Harrison, VW US's manager of brand public relations west, for more information, and he told AutoblogGreen that VW engineers discovered through a lot of testing of the Golf Mk6 EV prototypes, that battery performance was not impacted by temperatures when using the right battery chemistry. That chemistry, it turns out, is lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) in cells from Panasonic. These cells had "the lowest self-warming tendency and the lowest memory effect of all cells tested," Harrison said. He added that VW engineers tested the NMC cells in places like Death Valley and Arizona and found they didn't warm very quickly either through operation, charging (including during fast charging) or through high ambient temps. "The need for a cooling system wasn't there," Harrison said.
The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet
Tue, Oct 2 2018The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
