It's going to happen to new cars sooner or later, but even then in places without salt it will be 50 years before all the gas DD's are off the road, so we're talking about 65 years. In salt areas like where I live it would only take 20 years to have almost all gas DD's off the road.
My kids or even grand kids might have to sell the 914's off to collectors, but that's not my problem. Minimum 35 years before it really starts to effect my operating costs, I'll be close to done by then, if I live that long. |

If you think about it R12 was basically banned yet we have solutions to keep old AC systems going. Just looking at the 914 community and all the things we have done to keep these cars on the road in the absence of NOS part availability. Aftermarket injection, Suby swaps, etc. Electric is just the next evolution. Where there is a problem, someone will create a solution. I find the fact that the VW factory recognizes this as highly encouraging. https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news/2019/0...the-beetle.html I have to imagine parts provided by the factory to retrofit an old Beetle wouldn't take to much to adapt to a 914. |
