1967 Vw Beetle Sedan on 2040-cars
Pasadena, California, United States
|
Flat 4 steering wheel, Gene Berg short shifter, Rockford Fosgate stereo system with rear speaker tray, rancho transmission (approx 5k miles on it). I recently performed a complete rebuild of the front end including all of the following (all have less than 5 miles drive time and are all new parts): All new ball joints, wheel bearings front and back, steering box, steering dampener, turn signal switch, turn signal relay, 2" narrow CB performance front beam, Airkewld front single pot Wilwood disc breaks, Airkewld custom lowered shocks all around, break master cylinder, new rubber fuel lines, stainless steel flexible break lines all around, new steel hard break lines all around, fuel tank cleaned and coated inside and out with rust preventer. Entire front clip cleaned and coated with POR rust inhibitor The rear was also lowered 1 outer spline with new rubber grommets and many rear pieces sandblasted and powdercoated. I am also including the original 1967 front beam, 2" narrowed CB performance front sway bar (removed due to ground clearance), a box of goodies (including fan belt, hoses, various gaskets, etc), car cover, original steering wheel and shift lever, grease gun, battery tender, and torque meister wrench for rear gland nut removal. Issues with the car I am aware of include a rusted area in the rear package tray (this has been coated with rust converter and temporarily patched), a fairly large dent in the right rear fender, and a small rub on the front tires on wide turns. It also needs the front alignment done as has not been done yet after the rebuild. As best I can tell, the engine is NOT original to vehicle and is a 1300cc. Will ship, but buyer to make arrangements please. Original mileage is unknown. |

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
