Must sell this cool-looking, great driving 1969 VW Bug -- modified with a German Kit into a "Speedster" style.   Body has no dents or rust.  Seats have some tears, but the genuine Sheepskins give a good look and feel.  Front seats only, with storage behind.  Convertible top is in excellent condition. as are carpets. No cracks on dash, and varnished hardwood is removable.  Lights and instruments function properly.  Always starts; the Dualport 1641 runs strong; and the suspension is solid with no rattles.  Dual-dual exhaust sounds just right.  Doesn't burn oil and drips just a few small spots in a week. One person can handle the convertible up-down as well as the boot cover.  Some have turned these into "rat-rods" and although this vehicle could be tricked that way, it's so clean that the best presentation is still a "speedster" for handling highways, back roads and cruising  beach streets.   I'm 72 and down-sizing my life, but whenever I have taken out this unique classic, I have felt like age eighteen and shooting "American Graffiti" for George Lucas. Everyone is amazed and wants to know the story of this rare cruiser.  

Pay-Pal might be a good way to consummate a sale --  deposit of $750 within 48 hours of purchase and then whatever is best for the final exchange of cash, car and registration within one week.  Of course, if you want to meet me in Southern California for the transaction, that will work.  I am open to other ways of payment that are secure for buyer and seller.   If you wish to see/drive the "speedster" that can be arranged via email and then phone.  Buyer is responsible for pick-up or shipping, although I can help make arrangements on this end.  My name is Gary, and I just want to see a fair deal all around.

VW may make Bentley a subsidiary of Audi

Sun, Oct 25 2020

FRANKFURT — Volkswagen plans to make British luxury carmaker Bentley a subsidiary of its Audi division as it seeks economies of scale among its top-end brands, German trade publication Automobilwoche reported. Bentley, for now overseen by the head of VW's Porsche business, Oliver Blume, will from next year be part of Audi, where VW group Chief Executive Herbert Diess believes it has more potential, Automobilwoche cited company sources as saying. Synergies could include using Audi technology for a new Bentley SUV, it added. Volkswagen, which declined to comment on the report, is reviewing the future of its high-performance brands Lamborghini, Bugatti and Ducati motorcycles as part of broader quest for more economies of scale as it shifts to mass producing electric cars. Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters this month that Volkswagen was working on plans to prepare Lamborghini for a stock market listing. Related Video: Audi Bentley Volkswagen
