Up for sale is an awesome little 1968 Beetle. This was originally a California car and is in great shape (70%) with no rust, some small dings, and a couple spots where the paint is rubbed off. This car will need to be painted and some touch up work done if you are looking for a show car, however, we have used this as a play car and it is great for it. This was originally a hard-top car and based on the work I would guess that sometime in the mid to late 70's the hard-top was removed. Everything was smoothed out and fiber-glassed and appears to follow the body lines flawlessly. We were looking to eventually send this car in for paint, a 4 inch drop, disk brakes, and some other little custom work due to the fact that it has already had some major custom work done (the removal of the roof/top that is). It is a 4-speed manual and the transmission is in good shape. Shifts smoothly and drives like a champ with the exception of the carburetor needs to be readjusted as it will sometimes idle down to the point where it shuts off only to restart with a firm foot on the gas and a turn of the key. As with a lot of cars there is some bad along with all the good. The carpet was glued in (if you are familiar with resto work then you know that that adds about 6 to 7 hours worth of labor to get it out and then remove all the glue resin), the few small dings it has in it (mainly the front fenders an a couple on the "trunk"/"hood"), speedometer doesn't work but we use it as a toy to go to the beach/lake during the summer and things like that so never really was a concern to us, and the rubbed of paint and few bubbles in the paint that can be seen below the license plate (none of which have rust under them). No radio or A/C (what good is A/C when you don't have a top) and no windshield wipers because hey, with no top you won't be getting caught in the rain (ok I guess that should say you won't get caught in the rain often). Very little bad with this car when you consider the lack of rust, the fact that the car is in good reliable running condition, and the interior is in good shape. Please contact me either via email or via txt at 325-261-2588 with any questions you may have or to request additional photos. SIDE NOTE: This vehicle does have a clear TN title...which I lost and am applying for a new title Friday morning. Titles in TN usually take about 14 business days to arrive in the mail after applied for. When title arrives I will immediately overnight within the U.S. and for those buyers outside the U.S. I can Priority Mail it out or send with the vehicle should it take that long to ship. I know this is an inconvenience for some and for that I am sorry.

VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.

Bentley Bentayga bodies to be built in Bratislava

Sun, Apr 12 2015

Volkswagen's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, has come a long way. After getting its start in 1971 by subcontracting the production of Skoda-branded vehicles, the plant was purchased by VW in 1991, where it was quickly put to further good use as it began producing Volkswagen Passat models for export. More recently, Bratislava has become a bastion for SUVs, assembling the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, in addition to the VW Touareg. Color us unsurprised, then, to learn that the Bentley Bentayga, which will be built atop the same large SUV platform as its cousins from Audi, Porsche and VW, will also be used for at least part of the production of Bentley's first SUV. Surely, though, one of the hallmarks of the Bentley brand is that its cars are handmade in England. Won't the Bentley-buying populace feel slighted by production in Slovakia? Not to worry. As is the case with the Porsche Cayenne, all that will be produced in Slovakia is the Bentayga's body. According to a report from Automotive News, bodies for the Bentayga will be shipped from Bratislava to Crewe, England, where they will be finished into fully operational vehicles. In order to accommodate the additional work, VW will reportedly invest 500 million euros into the plant in Slovakia and hire hundreds of workers.
