1969 Vw Bus Early Bay Westfalia Camper on 2040-cars
Madison, Connecticut, United States
|
1969 VW Bus Early Bay Westfalia Camper Van. Runs, drives, and stops well, registration just expired in March 2014. Bus is complete, all electricals work, engine runs smoothly, could probably use a tune-up. Brakes are great, no pulling, no vibration, some new brake lines. Steering and suspension are tight for the age of the bus, shifter is a little sloppy and probably needs bushings. I have only owned the car for a short time, bought over the winter , drove 30 miles to my home, waited for Spring to list it. Previous owner drove it weekly, liked to camp all over the Northeast in it.
Interior is very good, but needs front seat covers. Westfalia camper interior is in very good shape, and complete with sleeping cot; cot needs new canvas. Dash is very good, no cracks. Body is straight, there is typical rust in the places that they sell replacement panels for. The floor feels very solid; you can jump up and down inside and it feels solid. Previous owner replaced front floor area with diamond plate steel. Heater channels are rusted out, so no heat. Original steel painted wheels and hubcaps, tires are new. Also, previous owner fashioned an optional cloth cover for the roof opening; if you want to take the camper top off for the bus look, the rag top works well, is watertight, and looks pretty good. Obviously, sold as is without warranty, and you're welcome to come inspect and drive it. I will also be happy to drive it to meet your auto transporter for pickup in my town. |

UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
