1972 Volkswagen Beetle. This is an original low mileage, good running and driving, Volkswagen Beetle. The VW is registered to me and I have an original Utah Title in my name. This VW spent most of its time is, dry (no salt on the roads), southern Utah. The original pan is solid, not dented, and is rust free. The engine was recently rebuilt, and runs excellent. The VW shifts smoothly and stops firmly. It has new tires and a new battery. The body is very solid and does not have any hidden repairs. All of the glass is good and the spare tire is in place. It is an original, 76,000 mile, Beetle. If you have any questions about my Beetle, please don't hesitate to give me a call. My home phone, which is still attach to our kitchen wall, has the following number (801) 745-0599. The VW is currently registered, insured, and has been safety inspected. These steps are necessary to register and drive a car in the State of Utah. The VW can be driven anywhere and comes with a repair manual and catalogs.

I want the new owner to know exactly what they are buying. With this in mind, I will nit pick the minor problems. First, mechanically, it is in excellent condition. The biggest problem with the VW is the interior. It has new door panels, but the original seats are tattered and need to be corrected. It has after market seat covers that are functional, but it needs new seat covers. The original paint is worn and there are minor dings that show surface rust discoloring. The running board on the passenger's side has a small dent by the rear fender. Again, please look closely at all of the photos.

If you have less than 5 positive feedback in your ebay feedback score, please email me before bidding. I want this to be a good straightforward auction. Please look at my ebay feedback score. I highly value my 100% positive feedback on ebay, and I want the new owner to be satisfied with the Beetle. A $250. deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing - unless you contact me directly to make other arrangements. Good luck bidding.

The reserve on the car is very low and well under the cars value.

VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries

Mon, Dec 8 2014

VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. If that's what's coming in a future e-Golf or E-Tron, sign us up.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
