This is a great 1972 Volkswagen Super beetle with just over 2,000 miles a year on it! It starts right up, drives nice and the brakes are good on it. It is fun to drive and gets looks and the stories that tell that many people used to have one. There is a tear in the convertible top which is readily available, the seats could use a recover and the paint job looks good, but could use a respray in a few places. There is a little rust here and there. The previous owner replaced the 34 pict 3 carb with a 30. The 34 pict 3 carb comes with the car. If I had the garage space I would switch out the carb for the original. Once in a while the car will not want to start when it is warm. I am not sure if this is a trait with these cars or a carb adjustment or whatever, but when it gets going it does not stall or hesitate in any way. These cars go for $10-12,000 all fixed up. I do not have a garage to work on it, so he has been waiting for a new owner who can bring him inside and give him the attention he deserves. I would love to keep this car, but it is time to hand it off to someone with a garage and time. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line. I am setting a reserve and a buy it now price, so bid and if you cannot live without it, if this is the car you have been waiting for, click the buy it now button and it is all yours. I reserve the right to end the auction early due to a local sale and all sales are final. Not being a Volkswagen mechanic or expert, I have to sell this Super Beetle with no warranty written or implied. It is sold where is as is. Thanks so much and have a great day

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club
Thu, Nov 20 2014Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging.

Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS.

The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.
