1973 Vw Super Beetle - Karmann on 2040-cars
Anderson, South Carolina, United States
You are bidding on a 1973 VW Super Beetle Convertible, garage kept and in very good condition. The engine runs strong and feels very good. From a driver’s standpoint, you're getting an outstanding condition bug with original miles.
The acceleration is very strong and manual transmission shifts perfectly. The American Racing wheels mounted with Firestone FFT70, 175 -70 R14 really set the car off. Tires are in very good condition and showing around 90% tread life.
This vehicle was completely painted a few years ago but the paint is in excellent condition. An OEM convertible top was installed soon after the paint job. Top looks to be new, no tears, rips, holes, etc. Original radio is in the dash but does not work. Planned to install a CD radio but never got around to it. All lights work as they should, all the glass is original and in perfect condition. The vehicle starts, drives, handles and looks great. Brake pedal goes about 1/2 way down but stops very good. May need brake shoes replaced to improve pedal.
Please
do not assume that this vehicle is or has anything, if you have any questions
at all please do not hesitate to contact me via eBay messaging services or by
calling my number (864) 958-1836.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
