Hi, this great bug came from a 93 yr old man in Carmel California back in 2010. He was obsessive about taking it to the same guy for upkeep and service for over 40 years. He garaged it for all that time. It's mechanically about a 9 out of 10. It's cosmetically on the outside about an 8 conservatively and all original . There is no other rust/rot on this car anywhere other than the spot on the engine lid shown in pic, this car is SOLID !! The inside is about a 9 and is about 90 % original? The two front seats have some tears on them so I just ordered nice quality ,factory style covers from TMI Interiors, They will go with the car. I will put them on before the car goes if I have them by then. The back seats are like new and all original. It has a super Statomat radio and a Bambus German parcel shelf.. The heat works excellent in this car. The rear engine Lid at the bottom has some rust spots from the lid drain being clogged. Other than that , there are only a few other minor blemishes in the cars finish. The car looks amazing, you would have to be looking for the imperfections . This car has only been driven roughly 3000 miles since being transported here to new England 4 years ago. Very limited use. This is not a Mint show car , but visually is a very nice looking original car That is a super tight driver. The underneath is perfect. Car drives like it has 66k on it. All service records complete back to the mid 80s and I have the original Blue plates from Cali. Compression is 125 in all 4 cylinders . It's a 1500 engine with 24,000 well serviced miles .The motor was replaced 24k miles ago when the car had 40k. It was a GEX Rebuilt motor, I have receipts detailing this. This car doesn't need a thing ! It is ready to be driven & enjoyed now.. I live a few miles off I95 near the MA/NH Line. You are more than welcome to come view the car anytime. Just drop an email. Also , very easy for a transporter to pick up the car. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding !!! THIS IS A NO- RESERVE AUCTION. SO, BID TO WIN !

VW Diesel Scandal Wrap-up: Time for bullet points

Thu, Sep 24 2015

Here we go again. If you were not pegged to your RSS reader yesterday, scoping out all of the VW diesel scandal news, here's a brief rundown of what happened: Just how much extra pollution did VW's little problem cause in the US? New estimates suggest it's as bad as having an additional 19 million cars on the road, or "12,000 additional tons of nitrogen oxide pollutants per year." NOx can create smog and acid rain. The diesel scandal is also reshaping some online ads. Sponsored content in WIRED that talked about clean diesel has been taken down. The advertisement was a partnership between Volkswagen and the Wired Brand Lab and claimed to have, "created an experience that will inform, educate, surprise, and change the way you think about diesel." Canada says it might start up its own governmental investigation and that "enforcement action will be taken," if the automaker is found to have broken the law. The German government says it did not know about VW's subterfuge until recently, and is going to start a fact-finding process this week. It turns out that the first hints of this scandal were discovered by independent researchers in 2012 and 2013. Whatever happened, Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said that it's hard to hide something like this. Following CEO Martin Winterkorn's departure yesterday, speculation is running rampant to see who will replace him. Automotive News says it should be current Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller. Don't feel too bad for Winterkorn, though, as he's still likely to get his $32 million pension, Bloomberg says. Oh, and this isn't even the first time VW has tried to cheat the EPA. It's a problem in the auto industry. We'll see how many bullet points we have tomorrow.

VW Golf R pre-order sells out in less than 11 hours

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Volkswagen fans had to be pretty quick if they wanted to ensure their pre-order for one of the first 500 units of the 2015 Golf R to enter the US. The German brand opened the books online at at 12:01 AM EST, and according to company spokesperson Leigh Anne Sessions speaking to Autoblog, by around 10:30 AM EST all of them were snapped up. VW's pre-order page currently shows these vehicles as no longer available, and the company confirms the news on Twitter, as well. There's still a chance to get an early Golf R by signing up for the waiting list and hoping one of the 500 orders falls through. VW Customer Care will contact people if there's an opening. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This entire allotment of the Golf R comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with VW's adaptive damper system, navigation, a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and more. To further sweeten the pot, the company is also giving these folks a watch, key chain and certificate with their vehicle's VIN. The 500 models were priced at $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery, but only $500 was required to reserve one online. The amount was refundable if a person backed out.

VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
