This fantastic car is an original 1960 Volkswagen Beetle!  This is NOT a show car!  This vehicle is an every day driver with plenty of dents and dings and character.  It's one of the coolest cars ever!  The car was originally purchased in Helena, Montana in 1960 and has spent the rest of it's life in the Rocky Mountains of Butte, Montana.  I am the fourth owner of this 53 year old car and I drive it every day in the summer. Like me, she hates cold weather and pretty much refuses to go out in it! This car would be perfect for someone in a warm climate.  The car is in original condition except for the tail lights, which were upgraded to include turn signals.  Also, the man who owned the car before me installed a driver's seat belt.  He intended for his teenage daughter to own the vehicle and he wanted to keep her safe, but she couldn't master driving a manual transmission.  This is why the car only has one seat belt (lap belt only).  I now have two small children and I don't feel like it's right for them to ride in a car with no seat belts.  Even if it is really FUN and they LOVE it!!  So it's time for this car to find a new home with someone who will love her as much as I do!

    

This vehicle is in original condition and has NOT been restored.  It has normal wear and tear that you would find on a car that is driven every day and is 53 years old.  The carpet is worn and torn in some places.  There is a large dent in the right rear fender (see photo).  One of the hub caps is missing.  I have tried and tried to find another matching hub cap, but these are some kind of rare aftermarket VW SS hubcaps (see photo).  They are virtually impossible to replace, so you would do well to just buy a set of four new hubcaps.  Besides that, they are pretty rusty. The steering wheel has many cracks.  The radio doesn't work, but is a super cool pull-out portable radio.  It was designed to be taken out of the dash so you could bring your tunes to the beach or on a picnic.  It has its own special key, that you insert into the radio to release it.  You can see in the photo the hole where you would insert the key.  There is an auxiliary gas heater for extra warmth in the winter.  The heater is not hooked up as I only drive the car in nice weather.  The seat coverings are cracked and the driver and passenger seats have big holes where the covering is missing all together.  In the pictures I have one seat cover on the drivers side and a towel on the passenger side.  Sorry.  I meant to remove those before I took the photos.  I can add a photo of the seats if you want to see it.  The back seat has no holes or tears.  Just the front ones. The headliner is discolored.  Some of the fabric wall covering is torn and water damaged because the car has leaky seals.  Also there are dents in the passenger side door from where the previous owner hit it with her other car's door every day while it was parked in the garage (door dings).  These are evident in the pictures.  There are two chips in windshield.  Also, I replaced the original windshield wipers with new ones because I was going to drive to Helena one day and it looked like it was going to rain.  The original wipers are in the glove box.  The rubber was too old and hard to do any actual wiping, but I kept them thinking I could just replace the rubber.  The car has its original VW Luggage Rack.  These are really hard to find, too.  The car is in good running condition and is driven every day.  The vehicle's Owners Manual, Accessories Catalog, Service Booklet for Preventive Maintenance, and Distributors and Dealers in Canada, USA and Mexico Catalog are included.

 

Includes:  Original VW Luggage Rack, New Battery, New Tires, Aux Gas Heater (not hooked up), Original Owners Manual, Original Accessories Catalog, Original Owners Manual for Le Chaperon Portabe Car Radio, Spare Tire, Aftermarket VW SS Hubcaps

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.  Also, if you would like to see any other photos, please ask and I will post them ASAP.

Buyer is responsible for pick up of the vehicle.  I accept PayPal or Cashiers Check.  Immediate payment or arrangement for payment by cashiers check is expected for Buy it Now; otherwise payment is expected within three days of the end of auction.

Thank you for looking at this awesome car!

Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group

Mon, Jul 5 2021

ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.

Only VW, Volvo are doing enough to electrify in Europe, study says

Wed, Jun 16 2021

Among major carmakers, Volkswagen and Volvo are doing enough to electrify their vehicle lineups in Europe, and the EU needs to set tougher CO2 emission limits if it wants to meet Green Deal targets, according to a climate group's study. Sales of battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids almost tripled last year, boosted by tighter emission standards and government subsidies. This summer, the European Union is expected to announce more ambitious CO2 targets; by 2030, the average CO2 emissions of new cars should be 50% below 2021 levels, versus the existing target of 37.5%. Volkswagen aims to have 55% group-wide BEV sales in Europe by 2030, while Swedish carmaker Volvo, owned by China's Geely says its lineup will be fully electric by then. VW ID4 front three quarter dark View 19 Photos Based on IHS Markit car production forecasts, according to the study from European campaign group Transport and Environment (T&E), Volkswagen and Volvo have "aggressive and credible strategies" to shift from fossil-fuel cars to electric vehicles. Others like Ford Motor Co have set ambitious targets, "but lack a robust plan to get there," T&E said. Ford plans an all-electric lineup in Europe by 2030. T&E said BMW, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Daimler AG and Toyota rank the worst as they have low BEV sales, have "no ambitious phase-out targets, no clear industrial strategy, and an over-reliance in the case of BMW, Daimler and Toyota on hybrids." JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, says its luxury Jaguar brand will be all-electric by 2025, but has been less specific about electrification of its higher-volume Land Rover brand. BMW and Daimler have been reluctant to set hard deadlines for phasing out fossil-fuel cars. T&E said even if carmakers meet their targets, in 2030 BEV sales could be 10 percentage points below those needed to meet the EU's Green Deal — which targets net zero emissions by 2050. Rather than a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030, based on carmakers' existing production plans, the EU could set more ambitious targets, T&E said - an up to 35% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2025, around 50% by 2027 and up to 70% in 2030. "Targets need to be gradually tightened so that carmakers not only commit to phasing out fossil fuels, but develop a strategy that gets them there on time," Julia Poliscanova, T&E senior director for vehicles and e-mobility, said in a statement.
