Up for auction is this 1967 California Black Plate Type III VW Fastback. I purchased the car from and older lady, and her daughter. I have never been much into VW’s but this one captured my attention. On tight windy roads this car actually handles better than my 67 GTO. These cars are not your average bug , as they are distinct. I have found that even in her current condition some who are not familiar with Type III’s become curious about them, as they are unique. Type III's utilize a pancake motor and thus have two trunks. One in the front and rear of the vehicle. They were available in three models. Squareback, Notchback and Fastback models. This car is a running drivable car. Her name is Heildigard (Hilldi for short). She has some rust although is an overall solid car. Floor pan patches are needed at drivers area near pedals and under battery as far as I can tell, also in areas shown in photos. This is not the car to buy for your son or daughter to be driven as is. She does need work. It is a good project for the person with mechanical skills, or to be handed over to a repair specialist. Hagertry Classic Car Insurance stated the value of this particular model restored was $17,000. The brakes need attention to drive Hilldi as she is. The car does run and drive as stated in the auction listing and comes with a carpet kit. We are not sure if the mileage is actual or exceeds the limits of the odometer, No mileage noted on title (pink slip). Please see odometer photo. The car should be trailored, or trucked to her new home if your are the winning bidder. The car is for sale with no warranty , where is. Buyer has the sole responsibility for cost of transportation of the vehicle to her new home. I will make myself available to coordinate with your shipper for pick up from its current location. I have described the vehicles condition to the best of my ability. Please order your own inspection prior to bidding with ample time for review prior to auctions end. This is your chance to a special piece of automotive history. Type III VW’s are fuel efficient becoming less and less common. Title in hand ready to singed over to the winning bidder. If car is sold, and or shipped outside of the state of California license plates are not included as part of vehicle sale. We reserve the right to end the auction at any time, as the car is for sale locally. Bidding on Ebay is a legal agreement. Non paying winning bidder(s) will be reported to Ebay.

Volkswagen Group looks to add ridesharing brand to portfolio

Fri, Sep 30 2016

Volkswagen is rapidly trying to put the ongoing diesel scandal behind it at the Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of the automaker's electric I.D. Concept. In addition to unveiling the EV, the automaker also announced that it established a yet-to-be-named subsidiary for ridesharing purposes. The new brand will be VW Group's 13th, and will add mobility services to in the form of a carpooling service, similar to that of Uber and Lyft. This will include teaming up with Gett – a cab-hailing startup that operates in roughly 70 cities worldwide, which includes New York City, that was previously known as GetTaxi. Earlier this year, VW invested $300 million in the company. In addition to ridesharing, VW Group claims it is also hard at work on its own shuttle service as the brand aims to become a leader in urban mobility services by 2025. The name of the 13th brand and more information on the subsidiary will be released in November. VW Group also announced plans to give Gett drivers in Moscow, Russia "preferential terms" on a Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Jetta, Skoda Octavia, or Skoda Rapid. VW Group's 13th brand sounds similar to Mercedes-Benz's Vision Van Concept, which the automaker would allow consumers to lease and purchase the vehicle, as well as rent its services on a short-term basis. While the Vision Van Concept is a commercial vehicle that has delivery drones on the roof to aid deliveries, VW Group's shuttle service sounds more like autonomous buses to ferry people around. Now that diesels are dead, Volkswagen has quickly embraced the future, where autonomous and electric vehicles coexist. Related Video: Related Gallery Volkswagen I.D.

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014

Sun, 23 Dec 2012

Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.

Volkswagen looking to acquire Proton, Lotus?

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

Let's say you're an automaker bent on world domination looking to grow your sales. That's going to have you looking at Asian markets, because that's where some of the biggest growth has been, and that's exactly what Volkswagen is doing as it considers making another run at Malaysia's Proton.
Reuters reports that Volkswagen is interested in at least a partial stake, if not a controlling interest in Lotus-parent Proton as a way to continue a production presence in the region without having to build its own factory.
Volkswagen already builds the Passat in a DRB-HICOM facility in Pekan, Malaysia, and plans are in place to build the Jetta and Polo there, as well. With both southeast Asia and its relationship with Proton figuring so importantly in Volkswagen's plans for expansion, buying into Proton can help ensure stability. Volkswagen is being tight-lipped about the whole idea, but CEO Martin Winterkorn did recently say, "it's our clear goal to continue the successful (expansion) course of past years with great dynamics and stability," which sounds an awful lot like deals are on the table to smooth the path to further growth.
