This is a gorgeous little car in great mechanical condition and it's a knock-out visually. Most of all, it's fun to drive.

It was totally restored two years ago and has absolutely no rust anywhere. It's been garaged ever since and has been kept smoke-free and driven very little, which is why we're letting it go. When we started the restoration (total disassembly) we obtained a "birth certificate" from the Volkswagen Automuseum in Wolfsburg giving the data on the day of manufacture, all the mechanical specs, the original paint color and the color of the top. It's as close to original as possible. It has a rebuilt engine with only about 2,000 miles on it, so it runs like a new car. Beside the new paint, new top and new boot, the entire interior is new: new door panels, new carpeting, new windshield, new alternator plus custom chrome wheels but the original wheels are available. It has brand new custom bucket seats available (I put the original seats back in), too. The original radio works fine and it has a good battery; the tires have 70% of the tread left.  The engine is the original 1600 cc, with fuel injection. It starts and runs perfectly. Mechanically, it's excellent and needs no work - it's ready to go!

All the records and an owner's manual are included as well as a half dozen VW books, extra back seat cover, door panels and tail lights. It has a small crack in the vinyl of the dashboard and a little dimple in the driver's door just in front of the handle (hard to see). See the photos. We added wind diverters (easily removed) to the seat head rests. We live in a remote location but will cooperate with shipping.

All-in-all, the driving experience is more fun than many new cars can offer.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.

VW Chattanooga plant very close to UAW representation

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

After months of fighting from both sides, it looks like the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, might unionize under the United Auto Workers after all. According to a letter acquired by The Associated Press, VW and the UAW reportedly struck a deal last spring where the union agreed to stop its challenge of the organization vote with the National Labor Relations Board to help clear the way for the CrossBlue to be produced in Tennessee. In exchange, the automaker would recognize the UAW at the plant. Leaders of the Local 42 at the facility reportedly signed the letter.
It seems that such an agreement would clear the way for the factory to unionize after months of dispute. According to The Detroit News, under Tennessee law, workers aren't required to join the organization. Although, that might not be a problem. As of a few months ago, Local 42 already claimed to have signed around 700 of the plant's roughly 1,500 workers.
Controversy has constantly swirled around the possible unionization at the Chattanooga plant. The UAW held its official decision in February and lost 712 to 626. However, there were allegations of intense political pressure to make sure the ballot failed. A later report also found that VW was offered $300 million in incentives well before the vote to make sure things progressed to the "satisfaction of the State of Tennessee," but the deal was later retracted. In July, the UAW opened Local 42 on the campus in hopes of signing up a majority of the workforce by volunteering to be a part of it.
