1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible VIN# 1592040490 ~ Assembled October 1979 Low miles, super-clean, much freshening and work done…Not the cheapest, but the BEST and NICEST ONE YOU WILL FIND! LOOKS LIKE NEW, RUNS BETTER THAN NEW! Amazing ORIGINAL PAINT & DETAILING! Superb weather stripping, glass, chrome, clean engine bay, trunk, undercarriage, and a dashboard that looks almost factory fresh (even the clock still works!). All this makes for a gorgeous classic VW Bug Cabriolet that is a true time machine to walk around and to sit in. A restored car can never compare to one that has the original feel and finish. But a few well-considered, modern touches make it BETTER to DRIVE than in ’79! Newer features that enhance performance, appearance, safety and driving fun include: · Pioneer CD Stereo · Enlarged and Rebuilt BIG-BORE MOTOR: 1835cc with 2-barrel Weber carb. HORSEPOWER BOOSTED from 48 to 70! ONLY 7000 MILES ON THIS MOTOR! · Modern performance Kumho tires on gorgeous ‘Riviera’ alloy wheels with VW center caps Very few miles on this these! Four-wheel alignment done at same time. · Front Disc Brake conversion for safety and performance. Brake system completely overhauled: Drums, shoes, all brake lines and new master cylinder. · KYB Gas Shocks for better ride and handling than stock. · Bright, white Hella H4 halogen headlamps (factory original sealed beams comes with the car). · EMPI Tow Bar (easy hook-up specifically designed for classic Beetle…so you can pull it behind your RV!) · EMPI Chromed Shifter with “Short-Shift” Kit and Console. · Custom Stainless Steel Running Boards. · Electronic Ignition! New Bosch Blue Coil! Polished alloy billet Timing Pulley with degree marks! Polished stainless steel Splash Pans! EMPI chromed Valve Covers! ANSA Free-Flow 4-Outlet Muffler! (Engine compartment has been dressed up and steam-cleaned) · JUST SERVICED last week, including: New Battery ; Castrol Motor Oil & new Oil Filter ; Clean Air Filter ; Valve Adjustment ; New Valve Cover Gaskets ; Ignition Timing Checked ; New Heater Hoses. · Rust-proofed, Undercoated and Paint Sealed when new. Always stored indoors under a Custom Car Cover (comes with car). Stored winters. NO RUST EVER!! END of an ERA: This car is from the final model year for the German-built Beetles. The 1979 Cabriolets, hand-finished by Karmann with an extra measure of quality, are the most sought after vintage of all…This car (built in October 1979) is representative of “the last of the last”. A true piece of automotive history. I am listing this car (along with some others) for my good friend. Impending hip and back surgery prevent him from enjoying his lovely Bug fully, and financial considerations are forcing him to let it go. It is a stunningly maintained example of a timeless classic, ready to drive anywhere, preserve for the future, or drive just to car shows. Cruises comfortably at 65 mph. The only flaw I could find is a small tear in the convertible top that has been carefully heat-welded shut to seal it up. It’s hard to see unless you look for it (I highlighted it for you in photo #38 of the 100 available on the link below). The top is otherwise perfect, and goes up & down easily, seals very well, and looks neat tucked under its tonneau when folded. This car is nearly as clean underneath as it is on top. More attention has been lavished upon this car over the years than might be considered sane by many people, but no one can argue with the results. To ensure there would be no worries for a new buyer, this car just returned from a visit with a certified mechanic specializing in air-cooled VWs for a final service and thorough "going-over" (almost $700). He pronounced it, “The best I have seen!” IT NEEDS NOTHING EXCEPT a DRIVER! NO DISAPPOINTMENT HERE! 100 pictures, showing close details, engine and chassis, available at: Please look closely at all the pics, and you will notice details like the plastic plugs where rust-proofing was applied to inner panels; the excellent paint finish and chrome on the entire car; the clean clear speedo and clock; the condition of components like tires, brake lines, and brake master cylinder; the amazing original finish on even the gas cap; and the shiny clean crevices behind the bumpers and around all the rubber grommets and trim – It’s amazing! And these are the small things that will always make this VeeDub stand head and shoulders above another. Once again: Not the cheapest, but the best!

Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union
Sat, 30 Aug 2014The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.
Next VW GTI to get 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox
Wed, Nov 26 2014Following on Volkswagen's official announcement that it was working on a ten-speed, dual-clutch transmission, Auto Express has it on "good authority" that the new transmission will end up in the next GTI, GTD and Golf R. The brand's current seven-speed will be retained for lesser eight-generation Golfs. While the new gearbox won't be limited to just the higher-end Golf range, the new hatchback, expected in 2017, will be the first to get it, Auto Express reports. The new DSG is the same size as the Volkswagen Group's seven-speed dual-clutch, and will easily fit into VAG's MQB platform, so we should expect it to filter into the rest of the Group's vehicles, much like the seven-speed 'box has. The ten-speed is likely to see applications beyond even the small cars of the MQB platform. The gearbox can handle 405 pound-feet of torque, according to AE, making its application in larger offerings such as the gas-powered MLB cars and crossovers a likelihood. Beyond the new gearbox, Volkswagen is also toying with mild-hybrid tech for the standard Golf and better batteries for the e-Golf. As we said, expect the new Golf to arrive in European markets in 2017, with the current Euro-market Golf getting updated next year. As for the US, we wouldn't be surprised if VW followed the trail blazed by the Mark 7, with a North American arrival for the eight-gem Golf slated for a year or so after sales in Europe begin.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
