1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible Vw Bug on 2040-cars
Cape Coral, Florida, United States
1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible. Great-looking, great running retro-custom Karmann Edition classic bug in beautiful condition. I noticed when I posted the pics that it looks like there are scuffs on the paint---no, that is a reflection of the clouds in the sky!! Color is dark blue with just enough metal flake to make it really shine in the sun. Black convertible top is in good shape with no leaks, no rips, no tears. Shaved front turn signals give it a unique look. Custom interior includes black Recarro sport seats for an ultra-comfy ride; it's a two-seater, rear seat has been removed and replaced with a carpeted deck. Sony AM FM CD radio with remote control; custom steering wheel and gear knob; gray carpeting front, back, and trunk. This '72 is the last super equipped with the flat windshield. This 'vert rides on 4 very rare "turtleback" VW wheels, and tires are good. The power plant is a 1641cc engine that starts right up with the Pertonix electronic ignition and runs great and darn peppy for a bug. Bugpack custom exhaust sounds good rolling down the road. This car was completely restored in 1999 and has been "garage-kept" since. It is an older restoration that is not in 10 point shape, but probably an 8 out of 10. Very nice remote alarm system is included and already wired up, just needs to be connected and reset. A few minor issues include very small scratches/slight dings...only noticeable on very close inspection; the emergency brake is functional but the handle needs to be re-connected. This classic has won many trophies at car shows and would show nicely in any local car show today. This is a 42 year-old car is a driver, fun to drive, reliable, and a real head-turner. Some extras included, even the original owners manual. $500.00 deposit paid by winning bidder, balance in cash or wired funds within 7 days of auctions end. Clear Florida title in my name. Car is sold as is with no warranty. I can assist if it needs to be shipped. Please ask questions before bidding, all sales are final and deposit is non-refundable. Thanks for looking and good luck!! |

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union
Sat, 30 Aug 2014The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.

Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
