1968 VW BEETLE-PROJECT For those that have never bid on one of my auctions, I want you to know I don’t try to hold anything back and try to tell everything I know about the item I’m auctioning off. If you have any questions I encourage you to ask them prior to bidding-this includes extra pictures, I want my bidders to feel comfortable with their bid-my feedback is 100% and I am proud of it, see feedback left for me. I try to put plenty of pictures of all the details for you to view and always have more for the asking. I have bid on a number of cars and was the winning bidder on a good number of them on eBay and find items I was not informed of in the description, this as I know can be very disappointing! BACKGROUND: • This VW belongs to my ex-wife that now resides in an assisted living facility and I am helping her sell it. She informed me she was driving it and it just quit running and had to be towed in 2011…I have been storing it for her, but now need the room and she has agreed to sell it with NO RESERVE! I have been messing with it the past couple of weeks to learn as much as I can about it. I am not a mechanic, but these VW are pretty straight forward. She bought the car 3/24/2010. In March of 2010 it had the interior door panels and interior quarter panels replaced with better ones along with front door glass. In MAY and June of 2010 she put $1056.38 into this VW. The work consisted of: replace frt. & rear brake shoes & machine both frt. & rear drums / repack wheel bearings / replace all four wheel cylinders / replace master cylinder / replace brake line / repair & or replace headlights, bulbs, fuses, wiring, headlamp switch, rear tail light bracket assys., Along with a complete safety inspection. All invoices will go with the car. According to the invoices this work was done between 110,387 miles and 110401 miles. This Beetle’s odometer now shows 111,529 miles if accurate and I have no reason to believe it’s not. This is low mileage for the year of car it is & how structurally sound it seems to be. She did not drive this car very long before she became too sick to drive it any longer and had to go into assisted living. Her wish was always to fix it up and drive it as long as she could. The damage to the left rear and left front fenders as well as the outside rear view mirror occurred when some smart individuals thought it would be cute to turn this poor little bug onto it’s side- while in my care! The 1968 VW came with a 91.10 cu. In. engine/1492.9 cc (1500) that developed 53 HP @ 4200 RPM. According to the specs, which I believe it has. POSITIVES: • Very solid and sound car, an easy restoration. • Very little surface rust. • Very nice floor carpeting…needs vacuumed and cleaned but quite nice. • Most safety work already done. • Floor pans in front seem to be solid. • Transmission seems to be in good shape. • Parts easily available (MID AMERICA MOTORWORKS) VW parts. • Good clean Colorado title, in hand along with invoices on work performed. • Running boards are solid. • All window glass intact-no cracks. • Seats and upholstery is usable as is-no springs showing-needs cleaning, if mine I would re-upholster the seats and headliner. • Includes original interior--- door panels/door handles trim/rear quarter panels. • Includes original exterior--- 4 hub caps/headlight bezels/spare tire-tire not good. • For more pictures contact me and I’ll get them to you. • This 1968 VW Bug has great possibilities for restoration at a very reasonable cost for what it needs—body work is minimal—this condition of VW is getting exceedingly hard to find this solid! NEGATIVES: • Motor will not turn over by hand. • Consider the fact that the engine probable needs rebuilt or replaced. • Floor pans in back seat area need replaced. • Body work on left side fenders and outside rear view mirror ( see pictures). • Needs paint job. • Needs new headliner and upholstery, but very useable as is. • Needs tires—(two hold air/one has leak/two won’t hold air). • Needs battery-windshield wipers. • Needs new welting at fenders as well as running board covers. Possibilities: • I do have someone that might transport, depending on location and distance for $1.85 a loaded mile-no brokerage fees! Please contact if interested. • I can store for 30 days for pick up arrangements-if needed. No guaranties on safety or condition of vehicle after 10 days of full payment. PAYMENT: • Deposit of $150.00 due within 24 hours of winning bid to PayPal, no refunds on deposit. • Full payment due within 7 days after auction ends, by certified funds, wire transfer or cash upon pick-up (NO PayPal on balance). • Contact me within 24 hours for payment arrangements. • If feedback is less than 10 and not 100%---please contact me prior to bidding!!!!! • Contact me with any special request as I will try to work with you if it is at all possible to do so. • My personal cell phone number is 1-719-641-6735 and my name is Clint---call between the hours of 9 A.M. and 9 P.M.—if no answer please leave message and speak slowly and clearly, then repeat info again, I WILL RETURN YOUR CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. • Pease do not bid on this VW if you do not intend to go thru with your commitment to buy this BUG as a bid is a legal contract to purchase said item!

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:

2015 VW Golf R ready for your pre-order on January 8

Mon, Dec 22 2014

If you want to be the first person on your block with Volkswagen's latest Golf R parked in your garage, you need to clear some time from your schedule on January 8. On that day, VW is opening the pre-order books for the first 500 Stateside examples of the new hot hatch, and they come with some neat accessories, too. Don't worry about specing just the right Golf R because all 500 early models are identical. In addition to the obvious 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 292 horsepower 280 pound-feet of torque and 4Motion all-wheel drive, the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is the only option here. Every one of these hot hatches comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with 19-inch wheels covered in summer performance tires. Based around the DCC and Nav trim, each of them also has VW's adaptive damper system, bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, a Fender audio system, parking sensors and navigation. Beyond just being the first ones to own VW's latest hot hatch in the US, the deal for these 500 folks also includes a Volkswagen R watch, carbon fiber and stainless steel keychain and a certificate. All three items are serialized to match the VIN of the buyer's Golf R. The total price for each one of these 500 Golf R's is $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery. But potential buyers don't have to come up with all of that on January 8. They just need to visit VW's Golf R site and pay a $500 reservation fee to get in line, which goes toward the purchase of the car. The money is refundable for anyone who backs out, and any additional orders are put on a waiting list in case of any cancelations.
