1967 VW Beetle...great little car...rated 33 MPG...engine re-built 5,000 miles ago...starts immediately and idles perfect...no smoke, no oil leaks...this car was partially restored when I bought it, then I added many more new parts within the past year...new brakes including all 4 wheel cylinders and Parking Brake, 5 new tires including spare, new generator brushes, new triple plated chrome bumpers front and back, new muffler and "pea shooter" exhaust pipes...This was the first year for 12 Volt system...the clutch and transmission are perfect...original steering wheel looks great...dash chrome trim and paint are awesome...all lights, cigarette lighter, gas guage, speedometer, odometer, wipers, horn, heater, defroster work perfectly...original AM Push Button radio works great and lights up too...also has a Sony AM/FM CD Player hidden in a black leather covered removable console that fits over the gear shift knob, just plug in power cable and play...amplifier is hidden under back seat..."Flamingo" interior is relatively new, just some minor wear...has pop-out rear windows...back-up lights...the back seat backrest lays down making a large storage space...most of the headliner looks great but it has some water damage near rear window from before the new window gasket was installed, now water tight...new Sun Visors and trim around doors, etc...new carpet front and back and in trunk...front fenders are from an earlier model but all was painted at the same time...you can drive this car every day, as far as you want to go...body has a couple tiny dings but not really noticeable...no major rust, just a little surface stuff, easily cleaned up...has chrome wheels that will show little rust freckles when the wax fades...re-wax and they look great...it's not perfect, but well on it's way to being completely restored...if it were done, the price would be more like $13,000-15,000...you can enjoy driving it just as it sits, then add some of the small details needed to finish it when you can, like window channel rubber/felt trim, a new washer bottle for the wiper/washer system, 4-way flasher, the doors lock but the key is having trouble popping it up from the outside door handle, headlights need to be cleaned up on the inside...not much else needed that I know of...I will help with getting it loaded onto a transport and meet the driver... From Wikipedia: The Beetle changes for the 1967 model included a larger-displacement engine for the second year in a row. Horsepower had been increased to 37 kW (50 hp) the previous year, and for 1967 it was increased to 53 PS (39 kW) at 4,200 rpm. Torque is 10.8 kg·m (106 N·m; 78 lb·ft) at 2,000 rpm, bore 83 mm, stroke 69 mm, and it has a compression ratio of 7.5:1. The 1200 and 1300 engines continued to be available in the updated bodyshell, as many markets based their taxation on engine size. On US, UK, and Ireland models, the generator output was increased from 180 to 360 watts, and upgraded from a 6-volt to a 12-volt system. The clutch disc also increased in size, and changes were made to the flywheel, braking system, and rear axle. New standard equipment included two-speed windscreen wipers, reversing lights, a driver's armrest on the door, locking buttons on the doors, and a passenger's side exterior mirror. The 1967 model weighed 840 kg (1,850 lb)

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.
