1969 VW Bug. I can only afford to fly or drive, I have driven all my life so flying my plane wins out and the Bug loses!!! Recent fenders/hood/windows removed Synthetic Eurothane paint. All window gaskets and windshield new, has the original flip out rear windows. Engine Completely rebuilt with German and Brazilian parts...No Chinese... with the exception of the rear bumber and look at the rust on it!!!. AH standard case, Cima Mauhl 88mm cylinders, Scatt C35 street cam, large SS valves, moderatly ported, Compufire Magnaspark in new Bosch 009 distributor, HD oil pump with oil filter, Sach clutch and pressureplate....Total Brakes and some lines...Much more but will let you know if you are interested. All grease and fluids synthetic with exception of engine, It does not have any miles on it yet, needs to go agout 2000 miles before changing to synthetic. Looks good, shifts good, tight steering and handling but just recently taken out of the garage and has yet to be driven on road. Before restoration was a daily driver for about 60 miles so set up for best road economy. I think the front is a dropped unit of 1 or 2 inches. It does have a couple little rust spots starting to pop out on fender. The mileage on speedometer is not original miles. This car should service you well for many years as EVERYTHING has been rebuilt or replaced. Am selling "as is, where is" and no return...prefere cash on pickup...hate to get rid of it so when it goes its gone!! Buyer will have to arrange shipping. Thanks for looking/bidding

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
