1963, Vw, Type 3, Notchback, Push Button, Super Rare, Runs & Drives, Clean Title on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
What we have here is perhaps one of the rarest found VW's of all time. This is a must have for VW & especially Type iii enthusiasts. These hardly ever pop up on the market in complete running and driving condition with a clear title, so now is your chance to snatch one up! I'm personally a huge fan of the car and thoroughly enjoy driving it. Every time I take it out someone gives thumbs up or asks about it. If I could keep it longer I would, but space is an issue where I'm located and I don't want to put it in storage. This car deserves to be driven and loved by someone who knows what it is and how special of a car it is. I always try to be as brutally honest as possible in all my business on eBay. I'm providing the most accurate information to the best of my knowledge. 3rd party inspections are welcomed as long as the company you hire comes to me. Please note that we are taking about a 51 year old car and not a 2014. Yes it runs and drives good and yes you can enjoy it right away without any work to it. But its not a new car so please don't expect it to be one.
Conditions Report: Powertrain: Solid 1600 runs strong and 4 speed stick shifts smooth. I was told when I purchased it that the motor had been recently rebuilt. The only evidence that I have is the way it runs. Good power, No smoke, no smell & only leaks a little drop of oil. If you know VW's, you know they all leak. Suspension: Car will pull to the left if you release your hand from the wheel. Brakes work but are soft, It may just need some adjusting. Otherwise feels very smooth going down the road. Tires have plenty of tread but are older.
Electrical: The push button headlights, tail & stop lights, wipers all work but the flashers and signals do not. The speedo doesn't operate either. There is a radio in the car but its not working either. Interior: Complete and in really good shape for its age. The only noticeable wear is to the door cards as they have become weathered and worn. Otherwise pretty sharp looking. Paint and Body: Paint looks great from about 10 feet away. Up close you will notice bubbles and some runs. Body is very straight for the most part but has one noticeable dent above the drivers side rear panel. The car also has a bit of rust on and around the doors and a little above the rear trunk lid. I did not notice any major rust to the pans or other places than mentioned above. Most of it is surface and I'm confidant that a qualified body man would be able to repair and remove most all of it. The car also has an aftermarket sunroof which is a little bit of a turn off to the purest collectors. Overall: This is one cool very rare old car! You never see these around and it catches a ton of attention if that's what your after. The only thing that I would personally do to it if I was to keep it would be to work on the signals and brakes. Otherwise, its a really clean weekend cruiser just as it sits. Please take the time to watch the videos posted as they give a real good scope of car.

Least satisfying vehicle rankings seek to highlight the worst cars of the year
Sun, Feb 5 2023Consumer Reports polls its members on all sorts of topics related to how they buy and use products ranging from mobile phones to humidifiers for indoor plants. Cars are regularly one of CR’s most interesting topics, and its recent study on the least satisfying vehicles to own offers insights into the cars people wish they hadnÂ’t purchased. CR polled thousands of members with questions about what they liked and disliked about the vehicle theyÂ’d owned for a few years. When asked if they would definitely repurchase the same car, the following vehicles came back as the least likely to be purchased a second time: Kia Forte: 51% would buy again Nissan Altima: 51% would buy again Nissan Kicks: 49% would buy again Volkswagen Taos: 48% would buy again Kia Seltos: 48% would buy again Jeep Compass: 46% would buy again Mercedes-Benz GLA: 45% would buy again Infiniti QX50: 40% would buy again Mercedes-Benz GLB: 39% would buy again Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport: 38% would buy again When Autoblog tested the VW Atlas Cross Sport in March 2022, we liked the styling and the price was right, but it lagged rivals in driving excitement and interior quality. A number of recalls donÂ’t help the Cross SportÂ’s cause much, either, as some models have more than a dozen actions by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Even the 2023 model already has four recalls. The annoyance of recalls and the hassle of just-average reliability ratings could have played into the Cross SportÂ’s place as the least satisfying vehicle. On the other end of the spectrum, the Chevrolet Corvette earned the top spot as CR's most satisfying car. The Porsche 911, Rivian R1T, Ford Maverick Hybrid, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 round out the top-five most satisfying vehicles to own. Given the rabid following the 911 has built over the years and the insane performance Chevy derived from the latest Corvette, itÂ’s not surprising to see them in the top spots.

VW consumer site finally gets configurator tool back
Tue, Mar 10 2015The traditional vehicle configurator is back on the Volkswagen US consumer website, and it works very well. The company now lets visitors create a virtual model to their own specs and then search for a match among dealer inventories, as is the norm from most automakers. Last summer, Volkswagen tried to break the mold with its thoroughly redesigned consumer website in the US. It sported a slick design but made the highly controversial change of removing the configurator. Instead, visitors were narrowing their selection from a searchable database of models already at dealers. While the streamlined approach immediately told users if their desired car was available, the system also largely hid the prices for options and packages. The newly tweaked design retains the previous tablet-oriented layout, but after clicking a model, the site immediately offers "Build Yours." From there, visitors select a trim, and then the vehicle pops up with options to choose things like colors and packages. The whole layout is clean, features large buttons and works quickly. At the summary page, there's still the opportunity to search for the user's choice in dealer inventories. This is definitely a major improvement.
VW may move production because of Russia's cutoff of natural gas
Sun, Sep 25 2022Volkswagen AG is exploring ways to counter a shortage in natural gas, including shifting production around its network of global facilities, signaling how the energy crisis unleashed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens to upend EuropeÂ’s industrial landscape. Volkswagen, EuropeÂ’s biggest carmaker, said Thursday that reallocating some of its production was one of the options available in the medium term if gas shortages last much beyond this winter. The company has major factories in Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which are among European countries most reliant on Russian gas, as well as facilities in southern Europe that source energy from elsewhere. “As mid-term alternatives, we are focusing on greater localization, relocation of manufacturing capacity, or technical alternatives, similar to what is already common practice in the context of challenges related to semiconductor shortages and other recent supply chain disruptions,” Geng Wu, VolkswagenÂ’s head of purchasing, said in a statement. RussiaÂ’s decision to throttle gas supplies to Europe has raised concerns that Germany might be forced to ration its fuel. Recent news that gas storage levels hit 90% ahead of schedule has soothed fears of acute shortages this winter, but Germany faces a challenge in replenishing depleted reserves next summer without contributions from Russia. Southwestern Europe or coastal zones of northern Europe, both of which have better access to seaborne liquefied natural gas cargoes, could be the beneficiaries of any production shift, a Volkswagen spokesman said by phone. The Volkswagen group already operates car factories in Portugal, Spain and Belgium, countries that host LNG terminals. Labor hurdles To be sure, any major production shift away from EuropeÂ’s biggest economy would face significant hurdles. VW has some 295,000 employees in Germany and worker representatives account for around half the companyÂ’s 20-member supervisory board. Any shift in production would likely involve a limited number of vehicles rather than wholesale factory shutdowns. While gas supplies for VWÂ’s plants are currently secured, the company has identified potential savings at its European sites to cut gas consumption by a “mid-double-digit percentage,” said Michael Heinemann, managing director of VWÂ’s power-plant unit. Still, the carmaker said it was concerned about the effect high gas prices could have on its suppliers.
