 1962 VW Beetle

Up for sale is my 1962 VW Beetle in stock condition and 99% original parts.
I will try to describe it to the best of my knowledge.

This is a clean bug with no rust at all, very clean and straight chassis and strong
body with all original german fenders, hood, engine lid, headlights and rear lights.
Back bumper is original and front is an excellent quality reproduction from Wolfsburg West
purchased back in 2003 and still shines like new.

Original color is L390 Gulf Blue and exterior was repainted once while interior keeps original
paint from factory.  Paint has seen better years with minor bumps most noticeable one in
front passenger side fender. Some rubber is new as fender beadings, tailight housings, lid nose
and front markers.   All other rubber for windows, engine lid and hood is burned out.

107k original documented miles. 95k in 2000, 99k in 2002, 102k in 2003
and have not been driven much since then to actual 107k mileage in 2014.

Interior original paint looks nice with AM working radio, great condition steering wheel,
refurbished seats back in 2003 still looks great and original door panels all around.
Just needs a new carpet and headliner.  Seat belts for front and back.
Original VW keys.

All lights and turn signals working, horn is there but not connected.
Rims sandblasted and painted gulf blue inside and off white outside.

Suspension is in great condition with torsion adjusters installed to lower
the front a little bit.  Original trunk liner and matching spare tire.

Super clean chassis with absolutely no rust.

California clear title with black/yellow license plates.

Custom front and rear aluminum license plate frames
along with Deutschland bumper sign.

Engine is 1200 cc and running great with all of its original components.

checking wolfsburg west website this car was built July 1961
and engine # 5873404 shows as June 1961. 
Pink slip shows 1st year sold 1961 with year model 1962.

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union

Sat, 30 Aug 2014

The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.

Audi rumored to leave top-tier endurance racing after 2017

Fri, Oct 14 2016

Volkswagen's ongoing diesel scandal is turning out to be an expensive problem for the German automaker. With a recent settlement expected to cost the company up to $14.7 billion, the company is scrambling to find ways to save cash. In light of this, Audi could be pulling out of the highest class of endurance racing, which it has dominated for years. A report from Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, indicates that Audi has already finalized the automaker's departure from the World Endurance Championship's top-tier LMP1 class after the 2017 season. Another report by Autocar cites an unnamed insider to corroborate the LMP1 exit rumors. The report fingers the VW Group's ongoing diesel scandal's financial fallout as the main culprit for Audi bowing out of LMP1. The move to could also be due to the group's decision to move away from diesel technology. Audi's LMP1 car, the R18, utilizes a V6 turbo-diesel engine. The Porsche 919 Hybrid, on the other hand, uses 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 engine that runs on gasoline. Audi has won the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans 13 times since 1999, making Audi an unstoppable force in endurance racing. Porsche, Audi's corporate sibling, reentered endurance racing with a LMP1 competitor of its own in 2014 and won the constructor's championship last year. Audi's decision to leave LMP1 could give Porsche a shot at creating its own Le Mans-winning dynasty. Autocar reports that Audi is expected to continue fielding cars in other WEC classes, like GT3 and GT4, and perhaps the brand will even enter Formula E. We reached out to Audi for some clarification on the matter and a spokesperson stated that the rumors were "pure speculation at this point."
