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:"Too many little things to describe here. I tried to photograph the cosmetic problems. The engine runs great, the transmission shifts smoothly and firmly, the brakes and brake lines were recently worked on. Uses modern gas with no additives."

This is an ongoing project. We have it running great, new brakes, some new engine parts. All exterior lights work. It needs new floor pans welded in (the usual VW rust has eaten through the floor pans) and seat tracks. It has only two small dents and many little cosmetic problems. The dash board has a crack in it and the instruments work but the instrument lights do not work. It was originally green but re-painted red a few years ago. It needs new door panels and new upholstery on the floor. The plastic seats are not cracked. It has the original seat belts. It has a brand new convertible top that was eaten through by mice in my garage and needs to be replaced :-<. It has the original glass rear window and all frame parts for the top. There are too many little issues to describe here, like the inside of the glove box needs to be put in (reproduction glove box liners are available online). I took photos of some things that need attention. The tires are in great shape, we recently drove from Cincinnati Ohio to Lawrenceburg Indiana on the freeway and on back roads with no problems. The transmission is tight and it shifts like a brand new car. A couple of new brake lines, cylinders and shoes. The engine hums like a bee. It's a real pleasure to drive.

The mileage is unknown. I put 100,000 because eBay won't let me leave this field blank. The actual mileage is somewhat less, according to my mechanic. The odometer/speedometer was replaced and many of the parts on this car were replaced with either original VW parts or with reproduction parts from the VW folks in California. You know the ones. Every single part of this car is available online, except for the rear glass window and dashboard. They make glue-on dash boards that cover the old one, but I never bought one. The headlights and all lights work but the instrument panel lights do not.  I ordered a new headlight switch (which controls the panel lights) because the old one is bad and I should have it replaced by the time the auction ends.

This vehicle may be seen and driven any time. Email me for an appointment if you'd like to do a test drive and inspection.

VW CFO Hans Dieter Potsch nominated as new board chairman

Fri, Sep 4 2015

The search for a successor to Ferdinand Piech has come to an end as the Volkswagen Group has nominated a new chairman. The Executive and Nomination committees of VW's Supervisory Board have put their weight behind one Hans Dieter Potsch, who currently serves on the company's management board as its chief financial officer. He's expected to continue in his current role until November when an extraordinary general meeting of the supervisory board can be called to confirm his nomination and a replacement CFO can be found to take his place. As you may recall, the chairmanship of the Volkswagen board fell until recently to Ferdinand Piech, grandson of Ferdinand Porsche and one of the principals of the Porsche family that holds over 50 percent ownership in Volkswagen through Porsche Automobil Holding SE. Piech went head to head with VW CEO Martin Winterkorn and ultimately lost. Piech resigned and Winterkorn is about to have his term as chief executive extended through the end of 2018. In Piech's place, former union head Berthold Huber was named as interim chairman, but is now referred to in the statement below once again as deputy chairman instead. An Austrian native, Potsch is an industrial engineer by training. He started his career at BMW where he ultimately served as group controller, and subsequently served as CFO and as chairman at a number of German corporations. Potsch joined the VW management board in 2003, initially without portfolio, and soon assumed the financial portfolio – a role he has held until now. In 2009 he took on the additional role of chief financial officer at the Porsche holding company, whose supervisory board representatives are the parties proposing Potsch's nomination as the group's new chairman – even though he is not, strictly speaking, one of their own. In a related development, it appears that Julia Kuhn-Piech will be leaving her board seat sooner than expected. The departing chairman Ferdinand Piech opposed his niece's nomination to the board in his place, and now she'll apparently be stepping down to make way for the family's new choice of chairman.
