Up for sale here is a 1977 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible. This is the rare Karmann model with the Fuel Injected motor in it. The previous owner of this car purchased it in 2005 in California and drove it back to Canada. It has never been winter driven, never seen snow. He was told the motor was re-built, but there are no receipts to prove this. It runs good, no smoke, no knocks, starts good and seems to have good power. The car was partially restored by the previous owner 5 or 6 years ago, but then lost interest and never finished it. New floor pans were put in it from front to back and new running boards were also put on it. A new PPG windshield with rubber gasket was put in it. The car has had allot of new rubber weather stripping. The seats were re-upholstered at some point in time. New carpet has been put in it. A brand new top was purchased, it was partially installed but not professionally installed. The top needs to be finished being installed, it is not usable as is. The rear window is not put in it, but I have it. I never left the car outside or put the top up so it was no big deal to me. The top frame was sand blasted and painted, a new oak bow was bought and installed too. Overall I would say this is a really nice rust free California car that just needs to TLC. It is in driver condition, nothing on it is perfect, but you can drive it and enjoy it right now. I just put a new brake system on it, including the master cylinder and all 4 wheel cylinders. New tie rod end. The tires are in good condition with lots of tread, they look nearly new. Good Driver at a Great Price !

German authorities claim 2.8 million VW diesels evaded testing

Fri, Sep 25 2015

While Volkswagen admits that there are 11 million diesel vehicles around the world that may be able to evade emissions testing, investigations by government authorities are starting to provide a glimpse of where some of those actually are. According to German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt, there are 2.8 million VWs in the country with the tech to cheat environmental rules, Reuters reports. In the US, at least 482,000 cars are believed to be affected. German regulators claim not knowing about the automaker's emissions testing evasions until quite recently, and Dobrindt didn't begin a fact-finding mission into the situation until just this week. Environmental agencies around the world have also begun their own inquiries into the scandal, including in Canada, South Korea, and many countries in Europe. In the US, where the story originally broke, the Department of Justice has started a criminal investigation into VW, and a maximum fine from the Environmental Protection Agency could tally $18 billion. The automaker has responded so far by setting aside about $7.3 billion to fix the affected models. CEO Martin Winterkorn is also already gone, and Porsche boss Matthias Muller is taking the top spot. The company's next moves still aren't clear, though. "VW needs to be very open about what has happened, how it was possible that this could happen to make sure that this never happens again in the future," an anonymous, top shareholder in the company said to Reuters.

German investigators search VW headquarters, take documents

Thu, Oct 8 2015

German investigators are no longer pursuing an official investigation against former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn, but prosecutors aren't giving up their detective work into the automaker's actions surrounding its diesel emissions scandal. In their latest move, authorities have searched VW's headquarters in Wolfsburg and confiscated documents and other data to learn more about how a software-based "defeat device" made it into the real world, according to Reuters. VW described the amount of material that it handed over as "comprehensive." The automaker is also conducting its own, internal investigation, but the company isn't releasing those results, yet. It has allegedly responded by suspending over 10 employees, including three top engineers. There has been reportedly no actual evidence found against this trio of men. In addition to the work of German prosecutors, many US investigators are looking into VW's actions, as well. The West Virginia Attorney General is suing the company for fraud, and there are pending class-action lawsuits. In written testimony for a Congressional hearing, Michael Horn, President and CEO of VW Group of America, said he first learned of the emissions noncompliance when the West Virginia University study was published in the spring of 2014. A recall on the affected Volkswagens isn't expected to begin until at least January, according to CEO Matthias Muller, and it could be later for some models. The costs to fix them all and deal with potential fines means that VW must delay some projects to save money. Put another way, VW will be dealing with the repercussions of this scandal for years.
