Homestead, Florida, United States

ok as a kid i had hundreds of vw's wish i kept them all. aww the good ole days well when i saw this one i just had to have it so i bought it then stored it now i have given up my indoor storage and i turned 60 and it is time to downsize so a bunch of my toys have to go and the razor is one of them
if you are familar with old vw's then you may know they never imported these into the usa i have heard that this one came from costa rica but thats a rumor. well it is here in sunny homestead florida it comes with a tow bar and a clear title the paint is older amatuer restoration the paint is super thick being metalflake and it has some cracks and there is minimal rust here and there trying to poke through. its a cool presentable car that runs and drives has brakes and everything now i wouldnt drive it to california but it does drive there is an exhaust leak and it is noisy but i didnt bother putting a muffler on it as there are so many after market ones out there that i didnt want to pick out one you may not like it has dual carbs on a flat pancake engine it runs ok as a vw does the seats are not original and as i know vw's this is the only type 34 razor i have ever seen so there is little else i know. you probable know more than i do. this is a no reserve auction and the starting bid is the lowest i will go and it is at a loss to me. dont offer less i will not take it and dont try to buy it now i will not take it. i am a firm believer in the way ebay works the last bid wins so if you cant afford it dont bid and dont think you can bid than come look at it and decied if you want it that is not going to happen. i encourage anyone interested to come look at it hear it run and test it out on the property there is no insurance on it so it will not be driven on the road for test runs send a mechanic or whoever you want and i will gladly show it to them the car is in homestead fl 33030 this is a very rare car and worth a lot. it is worth putting a show finish on it and being a proud owner of a classic vw that few have thanks for reading feel free to ask questions |

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
