This
is a 1978 Volkswagen Convertible Beetle. The car is being used for a daily
driver this summer but it can very easily be restored as it is a pretty solid
good running car. The car was originally from Kansas. For starters the car does
run well shift in all four gears well and reverse, brakes well, and steers well
as it has been driven much this summer. The car has the original fuel injected
engine with 57,500 miles, but the odometer in the car now is from a 1974 as the
original one broke. The top is in great shape with NO holes and is still soft
as it was installed six months ago. Headliner was also replaced along with the
boot for the top. All the glass is in
great shape also. The seats are in good original condition as well as the door
panels but are all in just daily driver condition. The body is in good shape
with a few minor rust issues. The floors are solid and well as then heater
channels, but the driver’s side will need repaired as the previous owner ran
over a curb in a parking lot weakening the sheet metal under the drivers inner
fender making for a rust hole as shown in the pictures and it did spread some. The rear fenders are new, the front ones will
need a little work but can be repaired without replacing. The windows all crank
all the way up and down, and the chrome on the frames is decent but need some
polishing up. Tires are all in good condition. Brakes and brake lines were all
re done as it is a very safe car to drive. The strut towers are in good shape
also. The front and rear bumpers are original and in good condition. All of the
parking, tail light and brake light are in working order. Car comes with an
aftermarket AM FM radio that does work. Carpet is original and in good
condition. I have additional pictures so if needed please feel free to ask. Car
comes with a CLEAN OHIO TITLE IN MY NAME !!! I will NOT DELIVER the car as the lucky bidder
is responsible for the pick-up of the vehicle.

VW CEO lost his job over buggy software that delayed new models
Mon, Jul 25 2022It says a lot about the state of the auto industry and where it's going that software problems have cost the CEO of a carmaker his job. Volkswagen ousted Herbert Diess as chief executive officer after severe software-development delays set back the scheduled launch of new Porsches, Audis and Bentleys. This was untenable considering buggy software postponed the debut of VW’s initial rollout of ID models, and customers are still having to drop off their cars at the dealer for updates the company has struggled to make over the air. Sure, Diess also didnÂ’t do enough to make allies and became increasingly isolated due to his hard-nosed leadership style. In his push to transform the company into an electric-vehicle leader, he repeatedly clashed with labor leaders by warning VW was losing out to Tesla and needed to cut thousands of jobs. But failures at the carmakerÂ’s software unit Cariad ultimately eroded DiessÂ’s support from the powerful Porsche and Piech family that calls the shots. Back in December, VW overhauled its management board, stripping Diess of some responsibilities while tasking him to turn around Cariad. While thereÂ’s been a lot of re-arranging since then, Diess didnÂ’t manage to make the issues go away. Discord at Cariad has pushed back the rollout of important new models including the electric Porsche Macan, a high-volume sport utility vehicle for the division thatÂ’s planning an initial public offering in the fourth quarter. AudiÂ’s new line of Artemis EVs has been delayed by around two years to 2027. And VWÂ’s ultra-luxury brand Bentley may not be able to go all-electric by the end of this decade as planned because of the software issues, Automobilwoche reported earlier this month. “Taking over the ship at Cariad seems to have been DiessÂ’s downfall,” said Matthias Schmidt, an independent auto analyst based in Berlin. VWÂ’s solutions to challenges tend to reflect its status as an industrial behemoth: itÂ’s able to throw lots of money and people at its problems. But modernizing the company for the digital age is going to take bringing in talent and building skillsets outside its traditional zones of expertise. Drivers increasingly demand intuitive user interfaces and services that could create new revenue streams, if done correctly. “Software is the key to the future,” TeslaÂ’s Elon Musk tweeted when one of his followers asked about VW switching CEOs. Diess certainly didnÂ’t lack ambition.
Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
