1968 Vw Beetle on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Tennessee, United States
|
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 Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.
Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.
Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.
Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
