1965 vw bug driver... this is a good running bug that has been coverted to 12 volt that I used as a daily driver for a couple of summers...still a very original car with lots of patina from paint chips to blemishes and some peeling and dents....odometer is over the 100 ......I changed the shifter guide and put in storage last winter where it sat mostly to the end of summer into the fall.. I drove it home and drove 1/2 dozen times, shiter could still use adjusting... one morning it would not start and that is wher we are at right now.. it does not make a click when you turn the key...I assume it is the battery or something with a wire connection, or worse case a starter....anyway, I have decided to list it for sale in as is condition....if it warms up I may try and put a charge on the battery....the pics make the car look nicer than it is...it is a survivor car that has not had any type of restoration.....it has an adjustable front beam, and the car has been lowered in the past...it has the push out rear windows, radio delete.....lots of flaws and chips in the paint that is very worn but still holds a shine......the window regulators are sticky and wore out as are the door hinges and strikers.... the running boards are rusty and need to be recovered... I thought of replacing them but am afraid the rockers would need to be replaced if i was to start taking bolts off...the heater channels are not funtional due to the fact they were full of holes..... the floor pans have been patched over the years and the passenger side floor is pretty bad... but the patches are water tight and I used the bug for a driver,..... so my only concerns were with keeping the interior water tight... It does have a new carpet installed a few years back.... the dash and the headliner are very original as are the door panels....thr front seats have some old vw covers on them and the rear seats have a fabric over them..the exhaust will need some work with a few of the pipes rusting.....see pics.......anyway, nice running car and is clean inside, what you see is what you get...good driver for someone wanting to get into a VW... but due to rust issues this may not be a canidate for a restoration but I guess that is my opinion ...just a good survivor car to drive and enjoy as it is.... I drove it often and used it to carry my bikes when I would go cycling as why you see the bike rack.....this is being sold as is no warranty...the value of this car is somewhere between $2000 to $3000...so please don't over bid expecting some great deal on a bug......I am willing to help with loading on a trailer... I would not recomend driving this car any great distance at all, nor driving until you work out any bugs it may have.... so plan on having it towed home..... payapl payment of $80 at close of auction....balance can be paid in person when picking up the car, or if buyer is out of state car will not ship until check clears bank...I reserve the right to end the auction at any time....

VW could look outside its own ranks for next CEO

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Companies have two options when coming up with succession plans – hire within, or go outside its ranks. Either choice comes with advantages and disadvantages, to be sure. Hiring within means generally getting someone familiar with the company and its culture and traditions, while going outside is ideal if you're looking to shake things up and bring in fresh ideas. It's unclear which avenue the Volkswagen Group will go down when it comes time to replace its head man, Herr Professor Doctor Doctor Herr Martin Winterkorn, but he isn't ruling out a trip outside of Wolfsburg. Winterkorn has already given the reins of the VW brand to former BMW board member Herbert Diess, while Andreas Renschler, a former Daimler board member, is heading up VW's truck group. Now, Winterkorn has made some statements to a German weekly that indicate the most important thing about his successor isn't necessarily his (or her, though no women appear to be on the short-list) previous employer, Motoring.com.au is reporting, so much as his qualities as a leader and an engineering background. "A Volkswagen boss has to have a big affinity to our products. He needs to be close to customers and he needs to have a relationship with dealers," Winterkorn told Stern. "Like always, it depends on the personality and it also helps if the candidate is an engineer." Motoring throws out a couple of potential candidates from within, including Porsche boss Mathias Muller, Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler and engineering guru Ulrich Hackenberg, in addition to both Diess and Renschler. And while each candidate has a lot of potential, the only thing that's guaranteed right now is what Winterkorn has already said: "The decision about who will succeed me is not an easy one for the supervisory board."

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD is our favorite oil-burning GTI

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD has officially bowed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Engineers managed to squeeze an additional 14 horsepower and 22 pound-feet of torque out of the familiar 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, nudging total output to 184 hp and 280 lb-ft for 2014. The figures are good enough to earn the GTD the honor of being the most powerful diesel Golf in Volkswagen history. A start/stop system helps improve efficiency over the previous generation with the new model consuming 56 miles per gallon on the EU cycle. That's up from the 2013 model's 46 mpg. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment, though a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also available.
The GTD also offers buyers a few aesthetic tweaks to help separate the hatch from its less potent siblings. Those include a more aggressive front fascia, special badges and 17-inch alloy wheels. Expect to find the GTD in one of three exterior colors, including Tornado Red, Black and Pure White. Check out the quick press release below for more details.
