1966 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE

This 1966 Volkswagen Beetle is among the most sought after of all classic Beetles. This project was a FULL restoration (body off and pieced out – stripped to bare metal, primed and painted) from the floor pans up – completed Summer 2012. Glossy paint job, finished in Pepper White (Mini Cooper, BMW) with a brown interior with black accents.

Bug has been stored in a garage since its restoration began. Every component is present and functional (headlights, brake lights, wipers, horn, etc). My sixteen year old daughter needs a starter car, so this one needs to go to make room!

Aluminum backed sound deadening throughout (floors, doors, quarter panels, front wall, fire wall); you can see it in the engine compartment photos and on video).
New interior (TWI).
It has a Petronics SVDA distributor with electronic ignition (NO POINTS!)
Upgraded to 12 volt system (harness, fuse blocks, Bosch alternator).
Nippon Denso high torque starter.
Front disc brakes. Rebuilt rear brakes and rear seals.
Front height adjusters, Rear stabilizer, New shocks. Drives and handles very well.
1641 cc rebuilt engine with Scat components (balanced crank, mild cam, bearings, pistons, connecting rods, push rods, oil pump). Rebuilt dual port heads.
External oil filter.
Dual Kadrons from the Kaddie Shack.
Custom console with speakers and gauges.
Later model (rebuilt) 2 speed wiper motor.
New Michelin Defender tires.
Less than 3000 miles on the car and engine since the restoration was completed.
Pioneer radio with blue tooth (IPod, music and smart phone).
The front seat belts are three point.
The exhaust is EMPI headers and single Quiet Pack.
No chips, dings or scratches! Two small blemishes in paint; one on hood and one on left rear fender. These are minor and do not take away from the beautiful finish.

This is an excellent collectable car that was built to drive and enjoy, and it has been used as such! I constantly receive compliments when I take it out. Car is currently registered in NC with a clear title. See video posted on youtube.com for more detail (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj63Ah8_iyk).

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
