This is a clean car. I have gone through the car rebuilt the motor, updated trans mounts and heater cables. Heater channels, pans, aprons, and body are all solid. There is one hole in front of each rear tire smaller then a half dollar. There is a small amount of rust on the drivers side of the car under the engine shelf. I have the panels to repair both sides if you choose to but I also bought both for the rear bumper brackets as the previous owners jacked up the brackets. The bumpers are on the car but aren't real solid due to the brackets being jacked up.

The car is lowered about 4" with a new adjustable beam bought brand new to keep the integrity of the Original beam. It is narrowed 5" and is fully adjustable. I bought 3" dropped spring plates for the rear. What they do is use the factory mounts and maintains factory suspension ride quality. I have the Original spring plates that go with car so the next owner can raise the car back to stock height if they desire.

I found the car will need inner and outer wheel bearings on the front wheels and new drums on all four corners. Car has newer tires on all fours. Front tires are 155/60-15 and the rears have 175/55-15s. The car is a daily it just needs the bearings to keep it on the road.

Buyers are responsible to make arrangements for pick up with me either in person or if you are having the car shipped to you you will make shipping arrangements. Contact me by email to get the cars location. If you would like more info on the car email me through PayPal your number and we can correspond through phone call or text. I can also send you pics this way.

Also I will give you time to make arrangements for payment and pickup. If a week or so goes by with no correspondence after the auction and you have made the deposit I will assume you're no longer interested in the car and I will repost.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
