VERY NICE'73 SUPERBEETLE. UNBELIEVABLE NEW PAINT IN ORIGINAL MARS RED. RECENT ENGINE OVERHAUL. EVERYTHING WORKS. RUNS, SHIFTS, DRIVES EXCELLENT. JUST NEEDS SOME INTERIOR WORK SUCH AS NEW FOAM IN FRONT SEATS, DASH (LOOKS OK WITH DASH COVER BUT WOULD BE BETTER WITH NEW DASH) MATTING BELOW INSIDE OF REAR WINDOW NEEDS TO BE RE-ATTACHED. DRIVER SEAT ROCKS A BIT IF YOU PUSH IT SIDE TO SIDE, FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CAME OFF THE TRACK WHEN I PUSHED IT FORWARD TO TRY TO CLEAN THE BACK SEAT, I'LL TRY TO PUT IT BACK, STEERING WHEEL NOT PERFECT, I DID NOT LIKE THE CARPET THE PREVIOUS OWNER INSTALLED BECAUSE IT GOT IN THE WAY OF THE PEDALS SO I HAD THE PAINTER JUST PAINT THE INSIDE OF THE FIREWALL WITH THE REST OF THE CAR AND I ADDED SOME WOVEN MATS. I THINK IT LOOKS COOL BUT YOU MAY NOT. REAR SEAT WON'T FOLD DOWN BECAUSE THE LAST OWNER PUT TOO MUCH FOAM, FOUR INCH SPACE ABOVE DRIVER WHERE HEADLINER IS COMING OUT A BIT. ORIGINAL SAPPHIRE RADIO WORKS WELL, CLOCK WORKS BUT IS SLOW, ALL LIGHTS WORK, NEW SHOCKS AND STRUTS, EXCELLENT BRAKES...BASICLY A STUNNING SUPERBEETLE THAT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION TO DETAIL ON THE INTERIOR BUT RUNS, DRIVES, AND LOOKS AWESOME. I PAID A LOCAL "EXPERT" A TON OF MONEY TO GET IT PERFECT, AND GOT SHAFTED AND THE WORK DID NOT GET DONE. STILL THE BEST SUPER BEETLE I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. I WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS AS BEST AS I CAN. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?
Thu, 26 Jul 2012Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
