For sale: the funnest car I've ever owned.  It's not perfect.  Just a few paint chips here and there.  They didn't paint under the hood or the trunk, but the original color in it's original condition is displayed there and I think it looks cool.  You can see the motor has been upgraded.  It runs and drives perfectly.  Starts every time and goes down the road with no problem.   Disk brakes all around, and a killer custom sound system.  Ipod, blue tooth, subwoofer, etc.  Here are it's faults in a nutshell:


  No paint under the hood and trunk
  A couple of paint chips, and the front and rear apron could have been done better as far as body work goes
  When loaded down with two adults and a great dane, the front tires will rub on the fenders when you hit a big bump
  The ragtop mechanism works fine, but it's just a bit sticky when returning it to the front.
   The left rear fender has a dent in it, but a complete set of replacement fenders is included.
   Speedometer needle is homemade and wooden.  Someone's custom work, and it works fine, but the purists would want to know about it.
   No heat system.  All been removed, but channels are fine.  Tubes coming in from engine compartment are filled w insulation, for obvious reasons
   Someone who knows what they're doing needs to do new window felts on this thing, and put stock window cranks on it.  
  

Here's the good stuff:
   Runs perfectly.  Starts every time, goes like hell
   While "leather" (Might be real, but I doubt it) interior that cleans up easy and is quite durable
   White window rubber (Hawaiian look) is the last of it's kind as far as I know.  
   Garage Kept, rubber and plastic in good shape
   The stereo is a custom dream come true.  Plug in your ipod, run pandora, nice low end from the sub without blowing you out.
   Full set of spare fenders
   Full set of spare wheels (cookie cutters, like the ones that are mounted)
   Guages, wipers, lights, all good.
   Disk brakes do the job QUICK.
   A box of assorted goodies will accompany the sale.  Trim pieces, doo dads, oh, and a transmission.  

   This is not the kind of vehicle you sell unless you have to, and friends, I have to.  It will bring it's new owner years of joy.  

    Bidders in the contiguous 48 only please.  $500 deposit due in 24 hours, the rest due in 7 days.  Cash in hand, wire transfer or certified check.

BMW names new CEO, chairman and head of development

Tue, Dec 9 2014

Big changes are afoot in the top ranks at BMW, as the Bavarian automaker has announced not just one, but several appointments in the top floors of its towering headquarters in Munich in what the company itself is referring as "a generational change" in its leadership. The biggest change relates to the chairman of BMW's management board – German-speak for the company's chief executive officer. Effective at the end of the company's Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2015, the company will be run by Harald Kruger. The 49-year-old mechanical engineer has been with BMW since 1992 and has sat on its board since 2008, and has until now been responsible for production for the entire BMW Group. The chairmanship of the board of management currently belongs to Dr. Norbert Reithofer, whom the management is endorsing to chair the supervisory board (which Americans might call the board of directors). That role in turn is currently held by Professor Joachim Milberg, who will step down from his position in order to make way for Reithofer to take his place. Milberg is earmarked to remain with the company to oversee its corporate social responsibility and charitable activities. BMW has also announced the appointment of Klaus Frohlich to serve as its head of development with immediate effect. In his new capacity, Frohlich replaces Dr. Herbert Diess, who in turn has left Munich to take over the Volkswagen passenger car division. Below you'll find statements from both BMW and VW on their new appointments. BMW Group takes steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board 09.12.2014 - Harald Kruger to become Chairman of the Board of Management in May 2015 - Dr. Norbert Reithofer proposed to succeed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board - Prof. Joachim Milberg to take leading role in the BMW Group's worldwide CSR activities and charitable foundations - Klaus Frohlich appointed to Board of Management with responsibility for Development Munich . At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG took the first steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Harald Kruger will become Chairman of the Board of Management effective the end of the Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2015. The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, will be put forward for election to the Supervisory Board at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.

VW planning 20 new plug-in models for China

Thu, Oct 30 2014

With 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.
