Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The engine compartment heater boxes are missing, the passenger seat has an open seam, the horn doesn't work and somebody installed a really silly radio and a goofy fan. No significant rust; the floorboards are rusty but not rusted through and probably can use some attention. Bumpers/grill/star are in excellent condition. It won't go into reverse; it is thought to be a linkage problem. Also after sitting still for a year and a half the brake pedal is very low and soft. It starts right up every time and the engine runs extremely well. The left rear fender was hit at some point in the past and the repair work was done poorly. The interior is OK. I've never understood the brown and red interior. The headliner has a bad spot in the left rear; New one in the trunk. There are four matching Michelin tires that look very good but probably need replacing before long road trips are done.This car has been an absolute pleasure to drive & work on."

 

About four years ago a woman in her seventies walked up to me as I was parking and said, ""I dated a rich guy once and he had a car that looked just like this. It's very nice." .I smiled and thanked her. I promise you that I am not that rich guy but I have enjoyed this car every time I drove it and worked on it.  It won't win the concurs `d elegance this year, but it could if  you put a few bucks in it.    Except for the left rear fender, the body is excellent. It's obvious that it was hit a some point in the past and whoever repaired it did a really crappy job.   It has a dings and scratches and needs a good paint job. It is in remarkably good condition for its 52 years. There is no significant rust. The floor is rusty but not rusted through.  The bright work is amazing. The bumpers are flawless, as is the grill and star. It has a transmission problem that we think is a linkage issue. It won't go into reverse.  Also since its been sitting for about 1 1/2 years the brake pedal is extremely soft/low.    Everything else is very good.  It starts the first crank, every time. The headliner looks a little shabby in the left rear corner, but there is a new one in the trunk.  I'm not sure how many miles are actually on it. The odometer shows 66598 but it could be one hundred or two hundred thousand more.  I'm not sure how many owners there have been. I bought it from an elementary school librarian (honest) about 6 years ago, who bought from some one in Connecticut. It has been in Georgia for nine years and I shipped it to Texas about 1 1/2 years ago.    I smile every time I get in and the interior light goes on. It still works!  This is a solid car, remarkable for its age. Please ask questions; I will answer to the best of my ability..

VW could look outside its own ranks for next CEO

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Companies have two options when coming up with succession plans – hire within, or go outside its ranks. Either choice comes with advantages and disadvantages, to be sure. Hiring within means generally getting someone familiar with the company and its culture and traditions, while going outside is ideal if you're looking to shake things up and bring in fresh ideas. It's unclear which avenue the Volkswagen Group will go down when it comes time to replace its head man, Herr Professor Doctor Doctor Herr Martin Winterkorn, but he isn't ruling out a trip outside of Wolfsburg. Winterkorn has already given the reins of the VW brand to former BMW board member Herbert Diess, while Andreas Renschler, a former Daimler board member, is heading up VW's truck group. Now, Winterkorn has made some statements to a German weekly that indicate the most important thing about his successor isn't necessarily his (or her, though no women appear to be on the short-list) previous employer, Motoring.com.au is reporting, so much as his qualities as a leader and an engineering background. "A Volkswagen boss has to have a big affinity to our products. He needs to be close to customers and he needs to have a relationship with dealers," Winterkorn told Stern. "Like always, it depends on the personality and it also helps if the candidate is an engineer." Motoring throws out a couple of potential candidates from within, including Porsche boss Mathias Muller, Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler and engineering guru Ulrich Hackenberg, in addition to both Diess and Renschler. And while each candidate has a lot of potential, the only thing that's guaranteed right now is what Winterkorn has already said: "The decision about who will succeed me is not an easy one for the supervisory board."
