Up for sale is a 1972 Volkswagen Type 3 (III) Squareback. This car is super clean and drives as a California cruiser should!
History: The car recently came to Atlanta, Georgia from California. The car is absolutely RUST FREE and the body is super straight. All receipts of the car from the past 3 owners are included and list extensive history which dates back to 1988. Body: The car was recently painted on the exterior (pictures to prove) with original Belgium Beige and a Standox Clear Coat. The Standox clear coat comes with a 30 year no fade warranty (from a renowned paint shop in Georgia, D&I Body Shop). Unfortunately, there is 1 dime size chip under the passenger pop out window and small scratch near the passenger window, however only visible to the super OCD. However, willing to get the car touched up. The floor pans and the rest of the body show that the car has been in a very dry environment for its entire life. New: All new glass seals, chrome, paint job, rebuilt transmission. The Good : the entire interior is super clean and nearly new. The seats are easy to adjust, the panels are in great condition, and the car handles as it shouldThis cruiser is completely stock - aside from the fuel injection engine being converted to Dual Carbs. It gives the extra power which allows you to shift up while driving up hill and comfortably drive 80 mph on the highway (the speedometer actually read 90!!! but def 10 mph off). Additionally, the VW drove from Atlanta,GA to Chattanooga,TN for the Bug-a-Puluza show and had no issues and handled the highway great. The Bad: I haven't had a chance to mess with the lights, but the turning signals don't work, although they light up when the lights are on. The odometer doesn't work, but the rest of the gauges work fine. Willing to answer any additional questions or email any additional photos upon request. Don't let such a rust free and straight Squareback like this pass you by. There is no headache left with this volkswagen, just pure fun! |

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
VW launches cheaper 2016 e-Golf SE to challenge Nissan Leaf
Thu, Aug 6 2015Volkswagen is taking the fight to Nissan in the battle of EV hatchbacks for the 2016 model year with the new, less expensive e-Golf SE trim level. With a starting price of $29,815 (after $820 for destination but before incentives), the model undercuts the $29,860 2015 Leaf S (after $850 destination) by just $45. Lease rates are $199 a month. The 2016 e-Golf SEL Premium is $150 more than last year at $36,415, making the difference between the two trims a significant $6,600. VW isn't letting out much of the info on the SE yet, and the company's release simply says the trim "offers most of the features of the SEL Premium model." The new entry does come standard with a 3.6-kW onboard charger, and a 7.2-kW DC fast charging package is optional later in the year. Inside, there's VW's 6.5-inch MIB II infotainment system, versus an eight-inch version in the SEL Premium with the company's Car-Net App-Connect and Travel Link. The e-Golf is rated at an 83-mile range by the EPA, and it's electric motor produces 115 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. The electric hatchback has already proven itself a moderate success in Europe through the first two months of 2015, and the VW actually beat the Leaf there in sales volume. In the US, the model has moved 1,831 examples through July, compared to 10,990 for the rival Nissan.
If VW defaults on loans it may sell Bentley or Lamborghini
Mon, Dec 7 2015If something goes catastrophically wrong with Volkswagen Group's recent $21 billion loan, brands like Bentley or Lamborghini could hit the auction block. According to two insiders to Reuters, the beleaguered German automaker agrees with its creditors to sell assets if the company somehow can't pay back the debt in a year. One of these anonymous people claimed the company hasn't yet deliberated over what to sell. However, the sources were willing to speculate that the power engineering portion of Man could be among the first to go. "Volkswagen may also consider divesting luxury car brands Bentley and Lamborghini or motor bike brand Ducati, although these units don't really move the needle," an insider said to Reuters. VW Group negotiated with the banks earlier this week to get the massive loan. The cash is necessary as a buffer in case the automaker doesn't have enough money on hand to repair vehicles or settle upcoming fines. VW would reportedly issue bonds in the spring to begin paying the debt. The company's bills will start racking up quickly in the new year. German authorities mandate a recall there in early 2016, and repair campaigns in the US for the 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel engines are inevitable. There are also hundreds of class-action lawsuits to settle. The company needs to resolve its CO2 emissions scandal in Europe, too. In response to these financial threats, VW management created a cost-cutting plan to slash the research and development budget by $1.1 billion next year.
