You are looking at a very unique 1968 VW Bug. The running gear has a stock 1600 dual port motor with a 4 speed transmission. The motor runs excellent and the transmission is tight and quiet. The suspension on the front beam has been lowered and narrowed, the rear has also been lowered. The front end has dropped spindles, new tie rods, and a new master cylinder.  The floor pan is in excellent shape, we repaired a couple of small holes, but there is no rust.

We selected this car because it still had it's original paint (dark green), and the body was nice and straight and didn’t have any damage. The door jams and the dash are still the original paint and look pretty presentable. We just finished painting the exterior of the car, using high quality multi-stage PPG urethane paint products. As you can see in the pictures we also painted and installed the custom fender skirts and visor.

This bug has a new front windshield, and new rubbers throughout. All the moldings are in excellent shape. The rear windows are the pop-out style, and have new moldings around them as well. The running boards are also new.  The door panels and rugs are in excellent shape. All the lights, wipers, horn and gauges work good. It has an older style radio, but isn’t hooked up.

 The headliner is new, and so are the seats. The 1966 bug style seats were professionally made from Mexican blankets at an upholstery shop, and look really stylish.    

The car is still fresh from its restoration, and runs, drives and rides excellent. The tires in the front are 135 R15 and the rear are 165 R15. The tires are in good shape, plenty of tread and no cracks, they are mounted on fresh two-tone painted stock 4-bolt wheels and hubcaps.

This nice old 68 Bug will shine a very long time and turn plenty of heads as it rolls down the street. This car could be driven anywhere. Thanks for looking at our auction!  If you have any questions send us a message or call 208-888-1240 (ask for Jack)

An inside look at VW's new California R&D center

Thu, 18 Oct 2012

Less than two months ago, the Volkswagen Group opened a new facility in Oxnard, California (about an hour's drive west of Los Angeles). The $27 million investment, touted as Test Center California (TCC), serves as a research and development lab testing emissions for all brands under Volkswagen's umbrella, including its newest member, Porsche. While still not fully operational, we toured the new 64,000-square-foot building last week and had a first-hand opportunity to see just how much work is involved testing engines and meeting increasingly stringent government emissions standards.
Replacing a similar facility established in 1990 in Westlake Village (about 20-minutes east of the new location), our guide explained how Oxnard was chosen for its temperate climate, varied regional terrain for test drives and low altitude. (The area is only a few feet above sea level - a critical parameter when instrument testing emissions.) The new facility is capable of analyzing hundreds of vehicles, prototypes and customer-owned vehicles, annually.
Most interesting to us was the huge stainless steel climate chamber, with a massive four-wheel dynamometer that allows VW to test running vehicles in both scorching desert and freezing climates without ever leaving the building (an Audi Q7 was running in place during our visit). We were also mesmerized by the countless storage tanks and intricate plumbing of chemicals, stored in both liquid and gas states, needed to perform the variety of tests. Lastly, we took a look at Bugatti's service center on the west coast, located completely within the new center. While there were no supercars on site, the facility is equipped with plenty of spare forged wheels (mounted with expensive Michelin PAX tires) and a Veyron-specific repair jig that allows the vehicle to be completely disassembled, if needed. It is a shame that the facility, which set off all of our automotive geek alerts, is closed to the public.

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
