1967 Restored Volkswagen Beetle Converted To All-electric Vehicle on 2040-cars
Sterling, Massachusetts, United States
|
1967 Volkswagen (VOLTSwagen) Beetle, Body Restored. Converted to all electric drive. This car has been in our family since 1973. It can remain electric or we are willing to removed electric components and sell to be restored back to gas. Missing gas tank, gas motor, and carpet, but can be easily converted back to gas. We saved as much original as possible, but some replacements were improvements e.g. brand new wiring harness, anodized aluminum running boards, truck bed lined wheel wells and Por50 anti-rust coating on entire underbody. This is a great test/fun vehicle for anyone interested in electric vehicles or who wants to dabble in conversions. The body of the car is beautiful. This is a classic year for VW's and the pride of the restoration shows. New set of lead acid batteries (~$700) would give optimum performance for up to 45 mph and 25-30 practical mile range, however it currently runs as is. Future improvements were planned to give highway performance and greater range, but would require more investment. Inquire for details. We currently have a web page that details the conversion, but eBay will not let us post the website in the description for whatever reason. If you want to see this, just Google "Rehrig EV Conversion". Then click on the first link called "Paul Rehrig's 1967 Volkswagen Beetle EV Photo Album". Thanks. |

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
