Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
Calif. car originally, here in Az. since then. I do believe this milage to be original, I've owned many VW's and cannot guarantee it, but maybe. It suffered a hard life before I got it, mooco bondo and improper repairs. I replaced the rear of vehicle, maybe three foot forward., also a center section of nose plus left H.L. area. Finished body work and took it to body shop for paint, single stage w/clear. Was not overjoyed with result, but a good 5ft.er. I tried to show blemishes in photo's. There is one weak spot in floor, again refer to photo's. The floor is still insulated with orig. padding material, the floor mats still there, will take photo's if you desire. There a good bumpers with car, I'll send photo's, if you ask. I converted to 12volt, but the wiper motor is still 6 volt. The engine isn't rebuilt, but still seems strong with good compression, maybe a small leak. 1600cc. Good clutch and brakes with new master cyl. & Wheel cyl. kits. Hand brake does work. Speedo head noisy. Orig wiring, good to go. Directional working. There is still some assembly obvious in photo's, again I have about everything to finish, except top boot. I installed canvas Haartz top and headliner, very time consuming, yikes, not completely professional, but not bad either. I'll explain to a serious buyer. The Porsche wheels don't go with car, you'll get orig. correct dated wheels & hubcaps, with roller tires. The orig. eng is available if needed, does run, but tired. All the reciepts will go with car. I'll answer questions, if you wish, and will work with buyer anyway I can. I consider this car to be driver quality, not show, you be the judge. I'll call you if you wish, to explain vehicle further. God Bless, Alex

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
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.
NA auto output to reach 11-year peak
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.
