This 1974Volkswagon Beetle- Super Beetle Coupe Sun Bug Special Edition,  All this cars paper work was lost in a major fire.  The man who had it was a collector of High end cars like BMW, Bentley, Porches, and this little Bug covered up in the corner. All the cars were in a different building. And were sold at an estate auction. The Import Auto Gallery out of Chicago purchased this bug because of the condition it was in.  This car has been taken care of to almost like new condition.   The only thing I had to do to this car was install a new dome light, door jam switches and wiring.  Tune ups, oil changes. My mechanic thinks the motor and transmission is all original. The previous owner put all his attention in the Body and interior.  As the pictures will show you.  The odometer reads 969 miles, I believe the motor has rolled over because for years they could not be verified if they were actual. I am not a mechanic so I trust mine.  He said that when he checked the brakes, they showed a little less than half life. That makes me think it rolled over. Next, Ed (my mechanic) found that the compression was great for a car with that many miles. It's a head scratcher.  Also, this bug drives great. Steering and shifting are solid and smooth and will cruise 70MPH.  I never had a bug that fast. I was impressed with the torque and comfortable wide seats, Their like a fabric weave tweed. Everything works like it's supposed to. Windshield washer was upgraded to a 12 volt system. This car is so solid, I can stand on the running boards without any give. I'm 270. When you look underneath The floor pans look brand new rocker panels the same solid and seal coated inside all the fenders.  Doors close tight like a new car no rattles or swaying This car hugs the road. I hate to sell it, but I have my last child leaving for college.  The heater and defroster work excellent no leaks and plenty of airflow. The Sun Roof  Looks brand new and drain tube is properly hooked up.  The tires are brand new with new spare. Both doors need weather stripping replaced.  their is a little rust rash by right rear tail light and a tiny spot on the sun roof. Small Dent In rear bumper about the size of a dime. It wasn't their when I bought it.  The car has a average cd player with speakers in the kick panels.  If you would like to see more of pictures before you bid. e-mail me at rusty228@frontier.com  I Have been as honest as I can be, The title is clear and hope I can find someone to take her over.

Skoda plans big investment into electric cars as part of rebound effort

Wed, Mar 24 2021

PRAGUE — Czech carmaker Skoda, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Wednesday it would invest around 2.5 billion euros over the next five years on future technologies, with more than half going to electric vehicle investment. The Czech Republic's largest exporter is hoping for a rebound in 2021 from a global car sales drop but faces uncertainty over the coronavirus pandemic and a semiconductor shortage rattling the industry. "This year is likely to be another big challenge," finance director Klaus-Dieter Schuermann said. "We expect Skoda Auto's group performance to improve, with sales revenue significantly above the level of last year." Skoda reported on Wednesday a 54.5% drop in 2020 operating to 756 million euros ($894 million). Sales revenue dropped 13.8% to 17.1 billion euros. Global deliveries remained above 1 million cars for a seventh straight year despite a 19% drop after production outages at the outset of the pandemic and a fall in China, its biggest single market. Chief Executive Thomas Shaefer said the car company was managing the semiconductor shortage "but it will follow us for awhile" and the impact was not visible yet. Skoda's core market in Europe would be electric in the future, Shaefer said, although it was still not time to completely switch away from traditional models, which include the launch last year of a new generation of its flagship Octavia model. It has also started production of the all-electric Enyaq iV model, which is a version of Volkswagen's ID.4. Skoda plans investments of 1.4 billion euros into electromobility development as part of its five-year investment plan. Investments will also go into digitalization activities and plant modernization. Related video: Green Volkswagen Skoda Electric
