1970 Vw Beetle Baja, Pan Off Restoration! Beautiful Classic! Drive Anywhere! on 2040-cars
Clovis, New Mexico, United States
Love this car but have way to many toys, and this one is the only one that my whole family can't enjoy. Wife said something about 3 children and only 4 seats? I don't get it either...
This one is a 1970. Pan off restoration, nice paint, all new interior, all window seals, and rubber stuff is new. Suspension, brakes, tires, clutch etc are new. Rebuilt 1600 dp. Floor pans are perfect, not a bit of rust anywhere. Never been off-road. The only thing I would do to finish it off is to pull and detail up the motor a little better. The PO brush painted the tins with the paint that was used to spray the car. It doesn't look bad, but it would look a lot better with some powder coating or chrome. The car is Royal purple, the wildcats on the sides are vinyl and removable if you don't like them. I have all the receipts from the restoration from 1998-2013. This is a really sharp, well-sorted, drive anywhere bug! Smiles and thumbs up everywhere you drive; especially from children, they just love this thing! Either way you won't be disappointed with this car! Please feel free to ask any and all questions you have about this car, any extra or specific photos, etc. I am not out to hide anything, and want you to be as happy with this neat little bug as I have been! International Buyers: I would prefer to only sell within the Continental United States; however if you do live overseas and just must have this car, please contact me before bidding. Communication is key and with all the scams going around I will cancel your bid over lack of communication. Shipping: Face to face transactions preferred. If you have the car shipped then finding a shipper and having the car transported will be your responsibility. I will help if I can and will meet a transport truck near by. |

Volkswagen's 261-mpg hand-built XL1 headed for Geneva
Thu, 21 Feb 2013After years of rumors, development and testing, the Volkswagen XL1 is finally about to become a reality. The project that began life as a daring 1-Liter concept car in 2002, will finally get its production-ready curtain call at the Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks.
As soon as it hits the streets, the two-seat XL1 will instantly become the most fuel-efficient and most aerodynamic production car in the world. The car uses a plug-in hybrid system to achieve mind-blowing consumption of just 0.9 liters of diesel fuel consumed every 100 kilometers (and average of roughly 261 miles per gallon). Plus, the XL1 can go up to 50 kilometers on its battery power alone. Coefficient of drag is a miniscule 0.189, thanks to a tiny frontal area and an obviously slippery shape.
XL1 power comes from a two-cylinder diesel motor connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while the 20 kW electric motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery. Both combine to give the XL1 performance figures that are, while not stirring, not shabby considering its extreme frugality: 0-62 miles per hour comes up in 12.7 seconds and top speed is nearly 146 mph.
VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation
Tue, 11 Nov 2014After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
