Homestead, Florida, United States
|
ok as a kid i had hundreds of vw's wish i kept them all. aww the good ole days well when i saw this one i just had to have it so i bought it then stored it now i have given up my indoor storage and i turned 60 and it is time to downsize so a bunch of my toys have to go and the razor is one of them
if you are familar with old vw's then you may know they never imported these into the usa i have heard that this one came from costa rica but thats a rumor. well it is here in sunny homestead florida it comes with a tow bar and a clear title the paint is older amatuer restoration the paint is super thick being metalflake and it has some cracks and there is minimal rust here and there trying to poke through. its a cool presentable car that runs and drives has brakes and everything now i wouldnt drive it to california but it does drive there is an exhaust leak and it is noisy but i didnt bother putting a muffler on it as there are so many after market ones out there that i didnt want to pick out one you may not like it has dual carbs on a flat pancake engine it runs ok as a vw does the seats are not original and as i know vw's this is the only type 34 razor i have ever seen so there is little else i know. you probable know more than i do. this is a no reserve auction and the starting bid is the lowest i will go and it is at a loss to me. dont offer less i will not take it and dont try to buy it now i will not take it. i am a firm believer in the way ebay works the last bid wins so if you cant afford it dont bid and dont think you can bid than come look at it and decied if you want it that is not going to happen. i encourage anyone interested to come look at it hear it run and test it out on the property there is no insurance on it so it will not be driven on the road for test runs send a mechanic or whoever you want and i will gladly show it to them the car is in homestead fl 33030 this is a very rare car and worth a lot. it is worth putting a show finish on it and being a proud owner of a classic vw that few have thanks for reading feel free to ask questions |

BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China
Thu, Oct 30 2014With just about everything getting super-sized for China, Volkswagen is following suit with its plug-in vehicle plans for the world's most populous country. VW, Europe's largest carmaker, is looking to sell more than 20 different plug-in models in China within the next four years, Reuters says, citing comments Volkswagen Group China head Jochem Heizmann made in Shanghai. The company is hoping that translates to sales of more than 100,000 plug-ins in China by the end of the decade. Go big or go home, right? There's a huge plug-in vehicle opportunity in China, especially given the bad pollution situation in cities like Beijing and Shanghai and the Chinese government's incentives for plug-in vehicle buyers. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said at the Beijing Motor Show this spring that the company would spend $25 billion on at least a half-dozen plug-in models for China by 2018. VW will start selling the e-Golf in China this year and the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid in 2015. VW said in August that it would start selling the e-Golf in the US for about $35,500 in November. That's a $6,500 price hike from the base Nissan Leaf.
