I'm selling my 1968 Beetle that I've own for 15 years. This car looks like it just drove out of the show room. Spent most of it's life in Georgia and has been stored every winter since it's been in Maine. So it's a very solid car. It's a daily driver and has a current Maine Inspection Sticker.

It has a Factory Rebuilt motor with approx. 3000 miles and the clutch was replaced at the same time.

Interior was professionally done by G & L Auto Interiors with new custom seat covers and pads, oatmeal carpet, and new headliner.

New EMPI style 8 spoke wheels with BF Goodrich T/A tires.

New Starter.

New Battery

Functioning Factory Sunroof with new cables and pulleys.

Blaupunkt AM radio in dash still works.

Comes with many spare parts, including 4 extra VW wheels (like the spare in the picture).

There is one area where the paint has bubbled just behind the drivers door.

Floor directly under the Battery was replaced with a fiberglass replacement pan. It must be something that was offered back then as it is formed exactly like the floor pan.

You may notice in the picture that the brake and clutch pedals are held in place by chain to keep them from falling forward. I've driven it like that for 15 years with no issues. There is a knob on the pedal assembly that has worn. The chain was an acceptable repair at that time (which my mechanic verified) so the assembly didn't have to be replaced.

Vehicle is also for sale locally. I will end the auction is it sells.

Maine does not Title a Vehicle of this age. I will provide a copy of the vehicle registration and a Bill of Sale.

Vehicle is sold AS IS with no Warranty expressed or implied. Vehicle must be picked up locally. I will not ship. $1000 non-refundable deposit is due with in 48 hours of auction close.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential 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.

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
