For your consideration an all original 1973 Super Beetle with 52,922 original miles. The car is a very dependable daily driver with no mechanical issues that would hinder it being driven cross-country. It is very solid at highway speeds, (0-80 mph) with no shaking or front-end shimmies experienced with older Supers with aging McPherson strut assemblies. Engine has never been rebuilt and is very reliable year round. The electrical system is fully operational, dome light, map light, seat belt light, headlights, turn signals, backup lights, wipers; heating/defrosting blower system is very, very good, tires are new with low miles. All original dash with no cracks, seats and headliner. The drivers seat can stand new covers, but I would replace both front seats at the time of replacement, the rear seat is in great shape. (At the buyers request I can replace both seat covers for an additional charge) All original window glass, window rubber and window scrapers. The exterior paint is in fair shape and there are signs of rust in the fender/body seams, (see the pics) These areas would need to be address at some point if one would choose to restore to pristine conditions. Overall the car is excellent for a not so in-depth restoration to original condition if one so chooses. The floor pans are still solid, the doors are still in alignment and close evenly with the body seams, steering is very tight and it tracks straight without the front-end wandering. Brakes, transmission, all still in very good low-mileage condition. Major tune-up, oil change, valve cover gaskets, valve adjustment, all complete! The car is advertised locally so we reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Feel free to email with your questions. No reserve, vehicle sold as is no warranties stated or implied .................... thanks for dropping by ............kj

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
