Classic Volkswagen Beetle Replacement Front Apron And Vintage Latch Receiver on 2040-parts.com
Arlington, Massachusetts, United States
|
This auction is for a replacement panel for the front apron of a classic VW Beetle. I bought this for a 1970 VW Standard Beetle. This will fit a STANDARD Beetle NOT a SUPER Beetle. This panel will fit a 1968 to 1977 Standard VW Beetle. Included is an ORIGINAL front apron latch receiver from a classic VW Beetle. The latch receiver is compatible with a 1969 to 1977 Beetle. This is a GENUINE VW latch receiver from a 1970 VW Beetle not a reproduction. The VW part number for the latch is 152823509B. The latch is suppose to be riveted on the front apron panel. I've checked to make sure that the latch fits or lines up correctly on the panel, which is does. The metal replacement panel was purchased from Rocky Mountain Motor Works about 25 years ago and was kept in dry storage since then – it has no rust, dents or dings but is in like-new condition. It is made with heavy gauge metal similar to original. This is NOT a flimsy made panel from Brazil or Mexico that you can buy today. This panel was purchased to restore a 1970 VW Beetle that never got restored and I don't have the time now to restore one so I am reluctantly selling off my collection of parts – mostly original like the latch that is included with this replacement panel. A genuine VW replacement latch is worth $50.00 but I am starting the bidding just to cover the cost of the panel. Good luck bidding! |

Volkswagen to take full control of Porsche
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Volkswagen Group's decision to take full control of Porsche Automobil Holding SE's carmaking business is seen as positive by analysts. VW said it has agreed to buy the remaining 50.1 percent of Porsche SE's automotive business that it doesn't already own for 4.46 billion euros ($5.54 billion), ending a seven-year takeover saga that divided two of Germany's most powerful families. The agreement means Volkswagen can now fully fold the Porsche automaking business into its stable of brands, which range from Audi and Bentley sedans to Skoda and Seat volume models and Ducati motorbikes.

Hiromu Naruse: ‘Godfather’ of the LFA ‘Not Famous Enough’
Fri, 11 Feb 2011Hiromu Naruse & Lexus LFA Last year we reported the death of Hiromu Naruse, Toyota’s chief test driver and a man considered to be the ‘Godfather’ of the Japanese performance car, and particularly the Lexus LFA, a car which consumed the last decade of his life and became the final testament to his enormous skill. At 67, Naruse-san was still as involved as ever, and it was whilst driving a Lexus LFA with the Nurburgring Package he met his end on a public road near the Nurburgring. A track, incidentally, he had driven more than any other Japanese driver.
