Up for sale, A very rare occurrence, Two 1973 Volkswagen Squarebacks, bought as a pair from the dealer, one is a manual and one is a automatic, both in the same color and trim. They look identical except for the badge automatic on the back and the sticks. Both cars are straight with minimal rust. The automatic is currently running and driving but still needs going through. The manual currently has the engine removed and sitting in the back ready for a freshen up. I was told that it ran when it was removed and was only removed to make it more powerful. Both cars have been off the road for a few years but were very well loved by the couple that purchased them new for many years with service records upon service records. Receipt for a somewhat recent rebuild on the auto engine which runs like a top and does not leak. The rear tail lights on both cars have cracks from age and bumps. Both cars rear benches are not as good as the fronts which look to have been redone at some point. There are owners manuals and emissions booklets, There is some rust on the front passenger fender of the automatic from water or gas possibly from rain gutter drip. I have an additional yellow fender that I will include to replace if desired. It is not that bad and can be seen in the pictures. The manual has some rust on the bottom of the rear fenders on both sides. both cars have some rust on the inner fenders that can be seen only when the paneling is pulled out of the front trunk. The automatic has an aftermarket fuel pump in it currently. I have the original Bosche for the five speed that runs with a battery hooked to hit but condition is unknown. The brakes on both cars are weak and need at bleed at minimum and i may have them improved by the end of the auction but no promises. The handbrakes work on both cars. The automatic transmission shifted smooth when I drove it. The manual has new tires on it and the auto has old tires, could be swapped since the auto is currently running. I have not buffed out the cars because I like the patina but I think it would buff out nicely should you want to bring back the original color. The floorpans and underneath of the car look solid with no holes. These cars lived their lives in sunny Colorado and have been spared salty roads and lots of humidity that many areas kill cars with. These are a few details, I will try to answer questions honestly as I feel that these are very special in any state being a pair that has always been together since new. Both cars are fuel injected.
Note 1: Drove auto today and added brake fluid, brakes are working better, also wiped down with wet cloth and the original paint really came through without even buffing. Pics of interior are coming soon, cars are cleaning up nicely.
Note 2: Both cars have their spare tires, and hubcaps on all 8 wheels,

Note 3: you can see in the latest picture of the manual where i washed it a little that the yellow paint is still yellow under the oxidation. I will try to add pictures of the engine in the manual as well.
On Jan-25-13 at 11:44:33 PST, seller added the following information:
Note: In that recent picture are receipts for engine rebuild and flywheel work, also there are 7 service logs fuel of info as well as the two Colorado titles on the cars. These cars are being sold without emissions test, and buyer is responsible for their own but they do from my knowledge have emissions systems on them and include the emissions manuals as well. They should qualify as pre emissions cars here in Colorado since they are from 1973.
On Jan-25-13 at 23:56:33 PST, seller added the following information:
I am not sure of exact mileages on these cars
These cars are being relisted due to a non paying bidder. If you are not located in the U.S. please do not bid on this item.
Cars are now listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Mercedes, Nissan and VW slammed by China's CCTV
Tue, Mar 17 2015Several automakers in China, including joint ventures with Nissan, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, are in hot water because their dealers are allegedly overcharging customers for repairs. China Central Television, the country's state broadcaster, leveled the claims during its annual Consumer Day expose. CCTV runs these reports each year on March 15 and often takes aim at foreign companies operating within China. This year the focus fell on automakers, according to the Financial Times, and no domestic car companies were targeted. The network also accused dealers of overselling parts, and it took aim at Jaguar Land Rover specifically for problems surrounding transmission repairs, according to Reuters. The yearly stories are often criticized for focusing on outside businesses. "It panders to a certain type of nationalism as it tends to target foreign companies and rarely touches large state groups or monopolies," Qiao Mu, a journalism professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said to the Financial Times. Foreign automakers seem to face tighter scrutiny when doing business in China than their domestic counterparts, in general. The government there investigated several luxury brands, including Audi and BMW, last year for how they supplied spare parts and whether the components were overpriced. Some incurred fines, and Lexus decided to lower its prices. Volkswagen also experienced protests when owners felt the company wasn't handling a recall properly. The CCTV report also comes as many auto dealers in China are feeling a pinch due to high mandated sales targets from automakers. The situation was so dire in early 2015 several brands cut back sales targets and in some cases even paid the sellers to offset poor profits.

2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore
Thu, Jan 11 2024The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery. A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
