1968 Volkswagen BUG - Ruby 2nd Owners - 39 Year Ownership Thank you for checking out our little 1968 VW Bug. We have owned Ruby since 1975, we bought her from the 1st owner in San Anselmo, near San Francisco. I was in graduate school at the time, and really needed a good reliable vehicle, and this bug fit the ticket. After I graduated, we moved it back up to Seattle most of its life since we owned it. We did move down to California around 2005, were I was teaching at a university for a few years. Ruby been our daily driver for many years, being retired now, my wife and I (now 71 years young, my wife won't tell you how old she is, lol) have decided to let this nice little bug go after 39 years of ownership, it has been a great relationship. We have decided to want to do some traveling, so we are willing to let go of the reigns. I do have other photos, that I can email you as well. It does have new interior, very clean inside, NON Smoker vehicle. The headliner, is nice but does have a one small rip about 2" long in the rear. Overall the interior is very clean and we replaced many things to keep him looking good. It does have the Rear side windows that pop open. We replaced door gaskets, and hood gasket, it does not leak inside, very dry. We had it painted about 6 years ago. Ruby has always been Red, hence her name, no color change. The older paint was starting to show its age, had very minor dings in it, and scatches, but we decided that we would get her looking good again, so we had it professionally painted by a local shop. It looks very good, has minor chips from being driven, because we love to drive this bug. There are a couple small dings, on the drivers side rear fender, and one on the hood, minor but they are there. Mechanically it is in very good shape, the engine has been rebuilt a few years ago, it is a stock 1500 like it came with originally, we had it replaced, the engine has about 80K on it currently, but runs like a top, we have always had it serviced at local shops, and keeping the Valves adjusted is very important, so I always made sure it was done, even learned to do it myself during oil changes. The engine runs very smooth, and has good power. Has minor little oil leak, that if you know VW's this is pretty common, nothing to be concerned about. The transmission shifts very nicely, stays in gear, does not pop out. Transmission is in very good shape and trans axle boots are in good shape no cracked, the transmission has a little minor whine, but nothing major, works very good . The brakes are in great shape. The tires, are about 60% tread on them. I am very confident that someone could fly in and drive it home. Odometer reads 83111, but it has rolled over. Shipping may be cheaper, but I do trust it very much. Give me a call if you would like to talk about it more. Thanks, Glenn and Judy 425-232-9911 Clean Washington Title, owned since 1975. 1. Runs good (83,117 on odometer & Miles on new engine) Additional items |

Recharge Wrap-up: VW consumption down 24%, BAIC opens EV R&D in CA
Mon, Sep 14 2015The Biofuel Infrastructure Partnership will provide grant funding to 21 states to help improve consumers' access to renewable fuels. Tom Vilsack, Secretary of the US Department of Agriculture announced the funding, which will help retailers purchase and install the equipment necessary to dispense fuels like E85 and other higher ethanol blends. Groups such as the American Coalition for Ethanol, Growth Energy, Prime the Pump, and the Renewable Fuels Association came forward to applaud the announcement. "This assistance in building out retail infrastructure is not only good for the American farmer but it is also great for the American motorist who will now have more opportunities to buy higher octane fuel at a lower cost," says Prime the Pump Chairman Ray Defenbaugh. Read more from Domestic Fuel. Volkswagen has reduced resource consumption of its vehicle production by 24.3 percent since 2011. As part of its "Think Blue. Factory." program, the automaker has implemented a series of environmental efforts (a number VW puts at 3,400 measures) at its factories worldwide.

2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore
Thu, Jan 11 2024The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery. A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.
