This listing is for a 1968 VW Beetle Convertible, though Pennsylvania has tagged it as a 1966. The bug, or Hans, was originally purchased during the late 90's by myself and my brother. We restored the car for our mother as a gift. The engine and trans are the original though the years of muck has been removed during the rebuild process. At this time we increased the displacement from the stock 1500 to a 1600 and as such the car can cruise at 70 mph if you run the gears correctly. While the car was in our mother's possession it was a daily driver in Maryland going in and out of Baltimore reliably.

Han's look is the brainchild of my brother, a professional artist, who chose the so-cal two tone or Carolina Blue and and Off White to show our love of growing up in North Carolina. The top is a grey and the interior is that of a VW Bus in its cream and tan plaid design. The carpets are camel colored and the original dash is black. All glass on the car is original and many improvements have been made to enhance its cool appeal. The front beam is adjustable and is currently locked down about an inch lower than a stock setup. The tail lights are original 64 and down and the headlights are Porsche style. The fenders on all corners are of the 1966 and if you noticed the blinkers are absent from the fenders as they are in the headlights. The bumpers are also of the 64 and down series.

We recently replaced the original gas tank, as its seal finally went as well as the original transaxles with new German ones. The rear main seal was replaced roughly two years ago. The carb is a 34 Pict and has been recently rebuilt prior to the spring. Hans has two months worth of PA inspection left before a renewal is needed. The radio is not currently hooked up as we never felt the need to listen to a moron drowning out our lovely engine.

For the past 7 years this car has been driven as both a daily commuter and as a parade chaperone. My kids love taking it to the local car gatherings as it gets more attention than most Corvettes as it is truly one of a kind. In short we have put 8000 miles on Hans since rebuild and we have enjoyed our time with him. If you are looking for a classic car that requires little attention beyond a light bulb burning out then Hans is for you. We are currently looking for a new home for Hans with a garage as I have focused on finishing a 53 F100, my brother a custom Harley and our mom has no room in her new town home.

Please feel free to email me with any questions and I will get back to you as fast as possible.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.

2015 VW Passat Limited Edition priced from $23,995*

Sun, Mar 8 2015

Volkswagen is doing some rearranging of its lineup for the Passat sedan, ditching a pair of trims on the entry level, 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and replacing them with a new Limited Edition trim level. Gone are the Wolfsburg and SE trims from model year 2014, which rung up at $24,375 and $26,280, respectively. The new Limited Edition will start at $23,995, not including $820 in destination charging. According to VW, the new trim level packages $2,755 of extras over the base Passat S, but only demands an extra $1,555 of cash. Not a bad bargain, particularly as the Limited Edition adds some desirable features. An intelligent key with push-button start, 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear-view camera, heated leatherette seats with power controls on the driver's side and a touchscreen radio with an eight-speaker stereo, along with a few lesser options, like fog lights, chrome window trim and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Beyond the new list of standard equipment, this is still the same competent German sedan. The 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is paired up with a smooth shifting six-speed automatic, as with other trim levels. Check out VW's press release on the new Passat Limited Edition, available below. VOLKSWAGEN RELEASES PRICING ON 2015 PASSAT LIMITED EDITION MODEL Mar 6, 2015 Passat Limited Edition model starts at $23,995 Fuel-efficient 1.8-liter TSI® engine and six-speed automatic transmission standard Value-laden model has a host of standard features, including KESSYÂ® keyless access with push-button start, V-tex leatherette seating surfaces, heatable front seats,17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, touchscreen radio and rearview camera Herndon, VA Â– Volkswagen of America, Inc., today, announced pricing on the 2015 Passat Limited Edition model. The Limited Edition model will have a starting MSRP of $23,995 (plus transportation) and supersedes the Wolfsburg and SE models from the current model year. The new Limited Edition model offers a great value: compared with the automatic transmission S model, it has $2,755 of additional equipment, but costs just $1,555 more.

Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
