Up for auction is my 1962 Volkswagen beetle. I have owned this Beetle for just over three years, and driven it approximately 3,500 miles. I purchased it in California and had it shipped to Wisconsin. Prior to my ownership, it had been a California car its whole life. While it has been in Wisconsin, it has been stored in a heated garage in the winters (October - April). The body on my Beetle is very good for a 51 year old car. When I purchased it, the mileage was just over 45,000 miles, which the owner stated were original. I do not have a cert or docs for this, but over the years, while doing routine maintenance, do believe the low mileage may be original. I rebuilt the rear brakes and axle seals last year, and the rear drums are original stamped VW, and still have a lot of surface. The rear bearings were original as well. The brake pedal is in great condition, as were the rubber pads (I cracked the brake pedal cover pulling it off to take a look,...very frustrating). I have had to replace some of the rubber seals around the lights, but saved the original rubber items, as they were all original VW. A few items have been updated for safety: converted from 6V to 12V for brighter lights, and the addition of seat belts for my passengers/children.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
