Description

I am a broker and have been hired to sell this vehicle on ebay. The photos that you are about to see are the original photos that I took with my own digital camera. The pictures have not been touched or photoshopped, thy are in their original state. Up for sale is a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible by Karmann. It has the twelve volt system and come with the stock 1600 engine. The engine has been rebuilt to factory specs. 1973 is noted for changes in the Bug construction, the first year of the curved windshield. Also noted the same year, the new flow through ventilation system, and of course a new redesigned, more modern and padded dashboard. Also larger turn signals on the fenders for better visiability were installed this year too! The transmission and clutch are working perfectly. The engine starts up every time, brakes are good, electrical works fine, all the lights are good. Has an aftermarket radio and extra speakers. The owner put in a little center console to put knick knacks in. Seats are good and comofortable. It is a nice fun car. It is a good solid origninal car. Ready to jump in and drive, or set up for a full restoration. It does show a little wear in places from age, but easily fixable. Tires are new, drives and handles well. The rear convertible top window has about 50% visability. Nice dash cover with an added tachometer. Chrome wheels are dazzling. In the trunk you will find an original set of those cocomats that were so popular in days gone by. Engine complartment clean and all seals, gaskets and metal covers are all in place. A very complete car. The speedometer reads 39,720 miles, and clear title in hand.

Fun on the Run

The Convertible had two owners. The second owner was obsessed with the car. Had it painted a nice red. The contrasting black convertible top in great condition and noted not even a tear in the headliner. This Bug has been in the garage for the past six years, so there is no rust anywhere. A true California car. The owner decided to buy another bug and now is working on that one and decided that it was time to pass this convertible on to someone who would continue to love and appreciate it and mostly have a lot of fun with it. Nothing like throwing the top down and a nice drive up the California coast, life could not be better. If you are looking for a nice bug convertible that needs no repairs and just ready to tackle the road, this is the car. Don't let this one slip away.

UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The 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.

Auction for first US VW e-Golf raises $41,400 for Global Green charity

Thu, Nov 6 2014

Would having Jay Leno on hand have changed the outcome? That's what executives at Volkswagen might be asking after the German automaker auctioned off the company's first electric car in the US for around $6,000 over MSRP. VW auctioned off the first Volkswagen e-Golf in the US to raise money for the environmental non-profit Global Green USA. Bruce Oberg, an EV enthusiast and previous VW owner, proudly cut a $41,400 check for the car, which has a 116 miles per gallon-equivalent rating and is said to be able to go about 80 miles on a single charge. At your local dealer (depending on where you live), the e-Golf starts at $35,445. Sales start later this month in 11 states: California, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Oregon, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Washington, DC. The $6,000 premium for first-dib rights for the e-Golf is nice, but it doesn't compare to what BMW worked out this summer. In August, the first i8 plug-in hybrid in the US was auctioned off at California's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance for $825,000 (to an unidentified buyer). That's about six times the car's sticker price, but this special edition came with Louis Vuitton luggage and was presented by noted car buff Leno. VW's press release below. VOLKSWAGEN E-GOLF RAISES MONEY TO BENEFIT GLOBAL GREEN USA AFTER A SUCCESSFUL CHARITY AUCTION Nov 4, 2014 Winning bidder claims first VW electric vehicle as the car begins to ship to select U.S. dealerships Herndon, VA (November 4, 2014) – Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced that the auction of the first 2015 all-electric Volkswagen e-Golf has raised $41,400, with proceeds benefitting the national environmental non-profit Global Green USA and its efforts to advance smart solutions to climate change. The winner of the auction, which ran from October 8–29 on CharityBuzz.com, became the first U.S. driver to own Volkswagen's all-new, fully-electric vehicle. "Volkswagen's commitment to e-mobility and sustainability runs deep. We could not be more proud that the e-Golf has helped raise money to benefit the efforts of Global Green USA, an organization that shares in our dedication to the environment," said Michael Horn, president and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

VW LogBox and Race App performance data logger for R models [w/video]

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Now that it's got a 300-horsepower Golf R to brag about, Volkswagen wants you to be able to brag about it accurately with the LogBox and Race App performance data logging combo. Plug the LogBox into your VW's OBD II port and it sends data over BlueTooth to the Race App, measuring variables like acceleration, distance, G-force and engine performance. If you're on a circuit, it uses Google Maps to make a map of the track, and you can record live video in-app to match with the data. Volkswagen says the LogBox will be available for R models and "a range of further Volkswagen cars," so you'll want to hit up your dealer with questions before ordering. It's available from the VW accessories store for 299 euros ($365 US), but right now the free app is only available in German, in the German-language iTunes and Google Play store. We imagine that will be corrected shortly; in the meantime, the video can show you how it works.
