This Item has been relisted due to a non-paying buyer. You are bidding on a rust free 1969 Volkswagen. If you're looking for an absolute show stopper, then keep looking. This is a very honest, original bug. It runs and drives like a vehicle with less than 50,000 miles should... Very tight, and always cranks right up. I believe the paint had been freshened up to the original color at some point in time in the past, but was a very nice exterior cosmetic resto. The interior is original, but has worn less than you might expect out of a vehicle that's over 40 years old. Another nice touch about this bug is it is equipped with the hard-to-find automatic stickshift transmission. It functions flawlessly, and is easy to operate. Everything works, and is in amazing condition for a largely unrestored vehicle. It does include the original owners manual along with service history. Like I said, if you're looking for a perfect car, then keep looking. If you're looking for a very presentable driver that you can drive anywhere without reservation, then this is exactly what you're looking for. My reserve has been lowered for a quick sale. Would be an amazing Christmas present that will increase in value for years to come! Please feel free to ask questions, and I will do my best to answer them. Also, please excuse the pictures. I rinsed it off and took them after the sun had started going down. It really shines like new, but will try to get some better pics up in the next couple of days. Thanks for looking! Happy Bidding! On Nov-15-13 at 14:14:54 PST, seller added the following information: ... Ok, I do have better exterior and interior pictures and a video now. The previous pictures really do not do this vehicle justice! eBay will not allow me to delete existing pics, so please send me a message with your information, and I will forward them over to you. Furthermore, if you'd like additional pics of any particular area of the vehicle, let me know and I will make sure I get them for you. This may end up being the deal of the month on eBay if you're interested in an unmolested original beetle! |

BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
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.
