You are looking at a fully restored, ready to drive, show, enjoy 1966 VW Beetle continuously registered California "Black Plate" car. This car is and has always been a rust free example.
All major components have been replaced or restored. It is literally too much to list. Think of this as a car that was completely disassembled an then built as it was in 1966 only with upgraded parts and pieces. Inspect the car or have someone look at it for you. The last owner spent over $18,000 on the restoration with $5500 spent on the motor alone. The motor was done by Pete at HBVW in Huntington Beach, California and this is essentially a "Porsche" VW. Complete EMPI components with rev limiter, clutch, transmission etc upgrades. This car doesn't only "keep up with traffic" traffic has to keep up with it. The car drives, shifts, stops better than it ever did in '66.
Note the Kenwood Stereo with custom CS speaker tray that DOES NOT affect the stock restoration as it is all a "lift out" package.
Cosmetically the exterior is overall in very good to excellent condition. There are a few rock chips that have been nicely touched up. The chrome bumpers/over riders and stainless are excellent as is all the bright work. The body is straight with no "waves" or dings. The enterior is correct and excellent. The glass is new. The tires are as new.
Everything works although the gas gauge is sporadic and I intend to have it repaired prior to delivery.
This car sounds like a Porsche 356 "Outlaw" but looks bone stock to the casual observer...speaking of which this car draws a crowd wherever it goes, so don't go to Starbucks unless you want to have a conversation.
It's ready for summer fun and literally could be driven every day.
I welcome inspections before you bid or buy but understand if you bid and win you own this car as this is a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. I stopped advertising on Ebay a couple of years ago because I grew tired of DREAMERS and people that thought this was a video game. I am happy to answer any and all questions.
Bottom line, this is a great car ready to be enjoyed.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
