1968 Vw Beetle on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Tennessee, United States
|
Up for sale is an awesome little 1968 Beetle. This was originally a California car and is in great shape (70%) with no rust, some small dings, and a couple spots where the paint is rubbed off. This car will need to be painted and some touch up work done if you are looking for a show car, however, we have used this as a play car and it is great for it. This was originally a hard-top car and based on the work I would guess that sometime in the mid to late 70's the hard-top was removed. Everything was smoothed out and fiber-glassed and appears to follow the body lines flawlessly. We were looking to eventually send this car in for paint, a 4 inch drop, disk brakes, and some other little custom work due to the fact that it has already had some major custom work done (the removal of the roof/top that is). It is a 4-speed manual and the transmission is in good shape. Shifts smoothly and drives like a champ with the exception of the carburetor needs to be readjusted as it will sometimes idle down to the point where it shuts off only to restart with a firm foot on the gas and a turn of the key. As with a lot of cars there is some bad along with all the good. The carpet was glued in (if you are familiar with resto work then you know that that adds about 6 to 7 hours worth of labor to get it out and then remove all the glue resin), the few small dings it has in it (mainly the front fenders an a couple on the "trunk"/"hood"), speedometer doesn't work but we use it as a toy to go to the beach/lake during the summer and things like that so never really was a concern to us, and the rubbed of paint and few bubbles in the paint that can be seen below the license plate (none of which have rust under them). No radio or A/C (what good is A/C when you don't have a top) and no windshield wipers because hey, with no top you won't be getting caught in the rain (ok I guess that should say you won't get caught in the rain often). Very little bad with this car when you consider the lack of rust, the fact that the car is in good reliable running condition, and the interior is in good shape. Please contact me either via email or via txt at 325-261-2588 with any questions you may have or to request additional photos. SIDE NOTE: This vehicle does have a clear TN title...which I lost and am applying for a new title Friday morning. Titles in TN usually take about 14 business days to arrive in the mail after applied for. When title arrives I will immediately overnight within the U.S. and for those buyers outside the U.S. I can Priority Mail it out or send with the vehicle should it take that long to ship. I know this is an inconvenience for some and for that I am sorry. |

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show
Thu, 23 Jan 2014If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.
Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen
Tue, 05 Mar 2013In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
