1976 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible on 2040-cars
Tacoma, Washington, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1976 Volkswagen Beetle convertible! I am helping a friend sell his car. He has owned the car for six years. It was purchased as a fun car for his wife and has seen limited use. It is showing 62103 miles on the odometer at this time. It is unknown if the odometer has rolled over or not.
The car was painted seven years ago by the previous owner. The paint shows pretty well but here are two major runs on the front hood down by the hood handle as shown in the pictures. These are the only real flaws in the paint and it has held up well over time. The color is a little off of the original sonnengalb L13K paint code but is still a nice bright yellow. The sides are painted two tone white. The door jambs are painted to match the exterior of the car. The trunk and engine compartment remain in the original color and look very nice. There is no rust in the trunk, engine compartment or interior floorboards. The car itself is largely rust free with only surface rust on the outside of the floorpan underneath from the car being driven. The car is very straight with no body damage or dents. One fender was replaced prior to the paint job but it is hard to tell without disassembling the car. The engine is the stock unit and retains the stock fuel injection. The car runs and drives very nice and there are no mechanical issues. The fuel tank was recently replaced with a new one. The car retains the stock wheels and hubcaps in good condition. The tires have good tread but are starting to crack with time. All doors and windows work fine. The top and headliner are in good condition with no rips tears or fading. The top functions as it should and is weather tight. All of the glass is in good condition. The windshield was removed for the paint and has new rubber. The rest of the body seals are in good shape. All chrome, trim, and bumpers are present and undamaged. The interior is in very nice stock shape. The front seats have new covers in the stock style and the rear seat is in good original condition with no rips or tears. Door panels and carpet look good and are stock. The dash is nice with no cracks all the gauges function properly as do all of the lights. Overall the car is in great condition and is ready to drive and enjoy the summer fun!! |

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.
Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union
Sat, 30 Aug 2014The 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.
