1969 Volkswagen Bug - with NO RUST (Low Reserve)

I have decided it's time for me to finally let go of my 1969 VW.  I have had the car for 2 summers now.  Other than taking it to a couple of shows & cruise nights each summer, it just seems to be sitting in the garage collecting dust.  It's time for me to get something a little more family friendly.  This car was built by a friend of mine that manages a body shop in town, so no expense was spared.  The work was completed about 3 years ago.  The Bug was a pan-off restoration.  

As you can see, there has been a few modifications done to the car.  It has been de-chromed.  This car has a classic VW glass pack exhaust on it - to give it a little rumble.   The bumpers have been removed with the holes filled.  The car has a set of one-piece fiberglass running boards that look pretty trick.  Looking at the pics, you can see the front-end has been lowered, which gives it a little rougher than stock ride.  I liked the look though, so I never complained.  It also has a set of earlier model front fenders with headlight buckets.  Also, the turn signals have been removed from the top of fenders, and the holes filled for a sleeker look (turn signals are now amber bulbs inside front headlight buckets).  It has a custom two-color paint job on it that I have gotten a lot of compliments on.  The rear windows are tinted.  Finally, the front brakes have been upgraded to disc brakes.  

Things I have recently done to the car:
This summer, I replaced the rear rubber trans-axle mounts. I also installed a new battery and a new fuel pump.  There is a newer Empi shifter (about 2 years old) in the car.  

The motor is a 1600 single port (previous owner thought it might have been a 1641 kit, but I have not been able to verify that yet).  I have driven that car the past few summers and put a few thousand miles on it.  It has always started right up, driven fine, and stopped perfectly every time .  Also, the heater outlets have been blocked off as this is just a summer time car.  

Things you should know the car:
The gas gauge does not work.  It was not working when I bought it, and I never got around to looking at it.  I just always made sure to fill up when I left the house.  Also, there is not a horn button in the steering wheel, so at this point it does not have a functional horn.  There is no seat belts mounted in the car.  I've driven it that way for 2 years and just never put lap belts in it.  It does drip a small bit of oil - as most old Volkswagens do.  I have the backseat of the car in my garage but its not currently in it.  

I really hate to see this car go.  I've had a great time with it, and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.  

I have described the vehicle to the best of my knowledge. Please keep in mind that this is 44 year old car.  It's a great car to tinker with and there's tons of resources out there.  One of the best things about old VW is the parts of really cheap.  If you would like any additional pics or have any questions, please let me know.  

 If you live in the area, please contact me if you want to come take a peak at it. The vehicle is sold as is, where is - in Fargo, ND.  Buyer is responsible for all transportation costs.  $500 is due within 48 hours of auction end.  Paypal is accepted.  The remainder can be paid via cashiers check, money order, or cash at time of pick-up.  We are willing to store the car up to 30 days - free of charge.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla charging times compared, VW's 70s hybrid tech

Fri, Mar 27 2015

A video shows the difference in Tesla Model S charging speeds with different chargers. The video compares the 60- and 80-kWh versions of the car using a Tesla Supercharger, a CHAdeMo fast charger and Tesla's High Power Wall Connector (HPWC). With the Supercharger, both models charge from to 80 percent in 44 minutes. It's over an hour and a quarter for both cars with the CHAdeMo, but they're about neck and neck in terms of time. The HPWC takes the longest, with the 60-kWh car finishing long before the 85-kWh version. See the video above, and read more at Teslarati. Volkswagen had prototype hybrid technology back in the 1970s. A book called The Complete Book of Electric Vehicles by Sheldon Shacket describes the technology used in Volkswagen's Hybrid-Electric City Taxi prototype, which was based on the Type II microbus. It used the automaker's 1.6-liter air-cooled flat-four (borrowed from the Beetle) along with a Bosch DC shunt electric motor and 11 lead-acid batteries. Interestingly, the hybrid taxi prototype also featured an electric sliding door and a bulletproof bulkhead separating the driver from the passengers. Read more at Jalopnik, and at Green Car Reports. Country music star Lee Brice is going on tour fueled by biodiesel. Partnering with nonprofit environmental organization Reverb, Brice is using the biofuel to travel to college campuses. "We're hoping to offset the environmental impact of the tour by supporting clean energy projects and using buses and trucks fueled with locally produced biodiesel," says Brice, who is personally focused on natural preservation and water conservation.

After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
