1973 VOLKSWAGEN THING. IT IS IN EXCELLENT RUNNING AND DRIVING CONDITION. SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER REAR FLOOR PANS, GIVEN IT A TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE, INSTALLED A BRAND NEW SET OF TIRES, NEW CRANK PULLEY AND BELT, INSTALLED A NEW MUFFLER AND TIPS, REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD GLASS AND SEALS (AROUND THE GLASS AND WHERE THE TOP SITS WHEN IT IS ON), REPAINTED THE BUMPERS AND THE BODY. I HAVE THE TOP OFF OF THE CAR BECAUSE I KEEP IT IN THE GARAGE AT ALL TIMES AND ONLY DRIVE IT IN THE SUMMER, BUT IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY RIPS OR TEARS IN IT. THE FRONT SEATS DO NEED FRESHENED UP, BUT ARE MANAGEABLE TO SIT ON. IT IS A VERY FUN CAR TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN (GETS PEOPLE TO TURN THEIR HEADS AND ASK JUST EXACTLY WHAT IT IS). IT DOES HAVE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SPARE AND THE TOW BAR THAT COMES WITH IT (REFER TO PICTURES). ALSO IT DOES HAVE THE FACTORY GAS IGNITION HEATER INT THE FRONT (THOUGH I HAVE NEVER TRIED IT I DON'T DRIVE IT WHEN IT IS COLD OUT). I AM READY TO START A NEW PROJECT AND DON'T HAVE THE SPACE FOR IT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU CAN CALL TIM AT 563-528-0388.

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
