1968 Volkswagen Bug Beetle Classic Passenger Car With Tow Bar on 2040-cars
Eaton, Colorado, United States
|
This is a 1968 Volkswagen bug, the odometer shows under 103,000 miles which I believe to be original. Color inside and out is red and in good shape but has some small stone chips from driving on gravel roads which I tried to reflect in my pictures so please look at pictures carefully. This car was first sold by Vern Hagestad Motor Co. in Denver Colorado on January 31, 1968. This car spent much of its life in Arizona and as a result it is NOT all rusted out in the fenders and running board as so many of these cars are. I have had much work done to the car mechanically to make it dependable and a nice driver. Repairs are as follows, Rebuilt Engine -- Rebuilt Transmission -- New Fuel Pump -- New Clutch -- New Carburetor -- New Brake Drums and Shoes -- New Wheel Cylinders -- New Wheel Bearings and Seals -- New Axle Boots. The interior is in good shape but NOT perfect. The passenger seat has some sun spot near head rest and upholstery repair under the rear window. Side carpet in front shows wear as you can see from picture but comes with new side carpet not installed and I may have missed a few other flaws. Car comes with VW tow bar and original owner's manual which has the chassis number and the engine number, both match the number of the chassis and engine presently in the car. All work done less than 2,000 miles ago. This car runs great and is ready to go anywhere. Sellers note: If you are looking for a original VW bug you would have to look a long time to find one this clean. I got this for my wife who lost interest in it and this is why I am selling it. Except for when it was driven it was stored inside, out of sun and weather. If winning bidder wants to fly in to pick up this car and drive it home I would be willing to pick you up in Denver (DIA) which is about a 60 mile drive and help you get a transit sticker from DMV so it can be driven to its new home. I am listing this car for my brother but will stand behind anything stated in this listing. I have a few other items listed so please check out my other items! |

Volkswagen iBeetle gets integrated iPhone dock, little else
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Apple fans have been itching to see the tech giant flex the full muscle of its iOS operating system in an automotive infotainment system for years, which is why we turned all sorts of excited when we caught wind of the Volkswagen iBeetle. The machine is headed to the Shanghai Motor Show for a debut, and VW promised it would be one of the "first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was coordinated with Apple." Listen closely, and you can hear the contented sigh of a million wallets opening.
Go ahead and close those up, kids.
In reality, the iBeetle offers little more than a dash-mounted dock and a special app that shows a few vehicle functions, which is about as far from an infotainment revolution as you're likely to find. In fact, the setup is little more than a factory rehash of aftermarket items, and hardly worth a whole model debut at an international motor show. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Apple relishes in changing the shape and form of its darling handheld at every generation. Volkswagen better be prepared to keep pace with appropriate docking mechanisms for the upcoming iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, et al.
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
