PATINA at ITS BEST is an UNDERSTATEMENT!

FIRST time offered to the public is my JAW DROPPING ORIGINAL PAINT Turkis 1962 Ragtop PATINA MONSTER Bug still wearing its original black plates from the day it was purchased new in 1962. This bug gets more attention than you can possibly imagine! If you don’t like attention this is not the car for you. In all my years of being involved in Volkswagens, many have said this bug has the COOLEST patina and “look” they have ever seen, and I FULLY agree.

Let’s get started: I'm offering my 1962 Original paint Ragtop bug at NO RESERVE, high bidder wins. As many would agree original paint survivor cars are more appealing and sought after than your everyday restored bugs. This car has it all, a look that only Mother Nature and over 40+ years can create. It has an awesome running 1600cc single port with a mild cam, new custom exhaust, and complete servicing 500 miles ago, the engine has excellent compression and always starts right up. The transmission was recently rebuilt and works great as well. All the electrical works as it should, blinkers, lights, wipers, etc. It has all new brakes, new battery, new clutch, etc. Anything that needed to be performed to keep it maintained mechanically was done.

It has a 6" narrowed adjustable beam with NEW 4.5 Porsche Empi Wheels in the front with adapters along with NEW 165-60-15's in the front and NEW 5.5 Porsche Empi wheels in the rear with NEW 195-55-15's and Porsche 5x130 new rear drums in the rear along with an alignment so the bug goes down the road straight. The wheels are custom painted with black centers. I have over $2k in just the wheels, tires, and adapters alone! It has custom drop plates in the rear so it doesn’t wear out the rear tires. Being as low as it is, it actually rides pretty nice. If needed, I can raise the car back up to accommodate the shippers for an additional $150. In my opinion the stance is awesome!

The seats were redone a few years back and still look really nice. The carpet, door panels, and headliner are still intact and original and would need replacing to take the interior to the next level. However it never bothered me as it goes with the theme of the bug.

All the chrome and glass are in real nice shape for its age. It has the rare popout windows which is a nice accessory as well. Its really solid and cancer free. It has a patch in the passenger side of the floor pan and that’s it. Everything else on the car is solid. Of course it has some minor scuffs, chips and KILLER PATINA, to be expected for an unrestored vehicle of its age. It has NEVER been hit front or rear, no BS stories etc. The bug goes down the road straight and drives awesome! It has the rare popout windows which is a nice accessory as well.

This 1962 Ragtop bug can’t be replaced or duplicated for any amount of money. Its the real deal. No fake patina or bs stories. In my opinion, it has the BEST Patina on planet earth. I have a clear California title in hand.

Please don’t ask me for a buy it now or my lowest price. If you’re serious, I will entertain serious offers; lowballers will be ignored. I reserve the right to end the listing early for any reason at any time. Lastly, no trades please.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.

VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
