1962 VW Beetle Up for sale is my 1962 VW Beetle in stock condition and 99% original parts. I will try to describe it to the best of my knowledge. This is a clean bug with no rust at all, very clean and straight chassis and strong body with all original german fenders, hood, engine lid, headlights and rear lights. Back bumper is original and front is an excellent quality reproduction from Wolfsburg West purchased back in 2003 and still shines like new. Original color is L390 Gulf Blue and exterior was repainted once while interior keeps original paint from factory. Paint has seen better years with minor bumps most noticeable one in front passenger side fender. Some rubber is new as fender beadings, tailight housings, lid nose and front markers. All other rubber for windows, engine lid and hood is burned out. 107k original documented miles. 95k in 2000, 99k in 2002, 102k in 2003 and have not been driven much since then to actual 107k mileage in 2014. Interior original paint looks nice with AM working radio, great condition steering wheel, refurbished seats back in 2003 still looks great and original door panels all around. Just needs a new carpet and headliner. Seat belts for front and back. Original VW keys. All lights and turn signals working, horn is there but not connected. Rims sandblasted and painted gulf blue inside and off white outside. Suspension is in great condition with torsion adjusters installed to lower the front a little bit. Original trunk liner and matching spare tire. Super clean chassis with absolutely no rust. California clear title with black/yellow license plates. Custom front and rear aluminum license plate frames along with Deutschland bumper sign. Engine is 1200 cc and running great with all of its original components. I really don't know if the engine is for this car from factory but checking wolfsburg west website this car was built July 1961 and engine # 5873404 shows as June 1961.

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
