1973 VOLKSWAGEN THING. IT IS IN EXCELLENT RUNNING AND DRIVING CONDITION. SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER REAR FLOOR PANS, GIVEN IT A TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE, INSTALLED A BRAND NEW SET OF TIRES, NEW CRANK PULLEY AND BELT, INSTALLED A NEW MUFFLER AND TIPS, REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD GLASS AND SEALS (AROUND THE GLASS AND WHERE THE TOP SITS WHEN IT IS ON), REPAINTED THE BUMPERS AND THE BODY. I HAVE THE TOP OFF OF THE CAR BECAUSE I KEEP IT IN THE GARAGE AT ALL TIMES AND ONLY DRIVE IT IN THE SUMMER, BUT IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY RIPS OR TEARS IN IT. THE FRONT SEATS DO NEED FRESHENED UP, BUT ARE MANAGEABLE TO SIT ON. IT IS A VERY FUN CAR TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN (GETS PEOPLE TO TURN THEIR HEADS AND ASK JUST EXACTLY WHAT IT IS). IT DOES HAVE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SPARE AND THE TOW BAR THAT COMES WITH IT (REFER TO PICTURES). ALSO IT DOES HAVE THE FACTORY GAS IGNITION HEATER INT THE FRONT (THOUGH I HAVE NEVER TRIED IT I DON'T DRIVE IT WHEN IT IS COLD OUT). I AM READY TO START A NEW PROJECT AND DON'T HAVE THE SPACE FOR IT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU CAN CALL TIM AT 563-528-0388.

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
