1968 Volkswagen BUG - Ruby

2nd Owners - 39 Year Ownership

Thank you for checking out our little 1968 VW Bug. We have owned Ruby since 1975, we bought her from the 1st owner in San Anselmo, near San Francisco. I was in graduate school at the time, and really needed a good reliable vehicle, and this bug fit the ticket. After I graduated, we moved it back up to Seattle most of its life since we owned it. We did move down to California around 2005, were I was teaching at a university for a few years. Ruby been our daily driver for many years, being retired now, my wife and I (now 71 years young, my wife won't tell you how old she is, lol) have decided to let this nice little bug go after 39 years of ownership, it has been a great relationship. We have decided to want to do some traveling, so we are willing to let go of the reigns. I do have other photos, that I can email you as well. It does have new interior, very clean inside, NON Smoker vehicle. The headliner, is nice but does have a one small rip about 2" long in the rear. Overall the interior is very clean and we replaced many things to keep him looking good. It does have the Rear side windows that pop open. We replaced door gaskets, and hood gasket, it does not leak inside, very dry. We had it painted about 6 years ago. Ruby has always been Red, hence her name, no color change. The older paint was starting to show its age, had very minor dings in it, and scatches, but we decided that we would get her looking good again, so we had it professionally painted by a local shop. It looks very good, has minor chips from being driven, because we love to drive this bug. There are a couple small dings, on the drivers side rear fender, and one on the hood, minor but they are there. Mechanically it is in very good shape, the engine has been rebuilt a few years ago, it is a stock 1500 like it came with originally, we had it replaced, the engine has about 80K on it currently, but runs like a top, we have always had it serviced at local shops, and keeping the Valves adjusted is very important, so I always made sure it was done, even learned to do it myself during oil changes. The engine runs very smooth, and has good power. Has minor little oil leak, that if you know VW's this is pretty common, nothing to be concerned about. The transmission shifts very nicely, stays in gear, does not pop out. Transmission is in very good shape and trans axle boots are in good shape no cracked, the transmission has a little minor whine, but nothing major, works very good . The brakes are in great shape. The tires, are about 60% tread on them. I am very confident that someone could fly in and drive it home. Odometer reads 83111, but it has rolled over. Shipping may be cheaper, but I do trust it very much. Give me a call if you would like to talk about it more. Thanks, Glen and Judi 425-232-9911

VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries

Mon, Dec 8 2014

VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry. If that's what's coming in a future e-Golf or E-Tron, sign us up.
