DETAILS:

1969 Volkswagen Beetle

61,000 Miles on Odometer (not original)

AM/FM CD Player with AUX hookup installed. AUX wiring is currently run into the glovebox and available throughout front/rear seat of car.

Bright Red Paint (not original) - Great older paint job in decent condition with a few chips here & there. Car was originally painted green (which can be seen deep in engine compartment and in areas under hood.

Body has very little rust anywhere. A few paint chips or scratches show a little rust, but only surface. Floor pans are surface rusted but have no holes (aside from one drilled through to resolve the infamous passenger side leak from driving while its raining). Some body rust is visible deep in the engine compartment (where the fenders meet the body & firewall), but has not progressed while I've owned the car and appears to have been sealed off when the vehicle was painted.

Tan Cloth Interior (not original) - Seats and headliner are in great condition, carpet is in decent shape but could use an update.

Engine starts right away and runs well. It could use timing and a tune-up, but has been my daily driver for the last 10 months (including regular 60 miles trips between Cleveland and Sandusky area). I have not had a single breakdown and the car has always started without a problem.

All four tires are new within the last 10 months.

New heater boxes were installed in January. The interior controls have not been hooked up. My mechanic open's the boxes in the late fall and closes them in the spring. Having driven several old VW's, I am amazed at how much heat this thing puts out. If its warmer than 15° outside you'll need to crack a window!

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

Front bumper was clipped in a parking lot (and is fairly rusted). It is bent on the driver's side and a original quality replacement should run around $220 (http://www.mamotorworkstv.com/vw/product/front-bumper-353116/)

Starter appears to have a non-contact point in it. On occasion (~ once every two weeks) the engine will not engage when the ignition is turned. A simple roll start or crossing of the starter's contacts resolves the issue right away, but the vehicle could use a new starter.

Turn signal does not de-activate. Could use a new switch or spring. Was never a concern of mine, I simply turned it off myself.

Emergency flashers do not work (my mechanic said this is likely just a switch that needs replaced).

Windshield washer needs new tank (doesn't seal to hold pressure - not pressurized by spare tire, has a pressure valve right on the tank).


REASON FOR SELLING:

I am only selling this car as we are making an effort to be a one car household, and this one is the least practical to meet all of our needs. The car has been dependable year-round for me and is a blast to drive.

I am open to offers, so please feel free to email with any additional questions you may have.

Toyota holds onto crown of World's Largest Automaker

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Although there were hints and allegations that the Volkswagen Group might have taken the global sales crown for 2014, the final tally puts Toyota at the top with 10.23 million sales in 2014. We should really say it keeps Toyota at the top, since that makes three years in a row the Japanese company has been No. 1. Volkswagen Group came in second with 10.14 million units sold, General Motors in third with 9.92 million units sold. This the first time for both Toyota and Volkswagen to pass 10 million sales in a single year. Toyota, including its Hino and Daihatsu divisions, did it with a three-percent increase in company-wide sales on the back of strong demand in Japan and the US. Its strength in developed markets might be the reason it loses the title this year, though; Toyota forecasts a two-percent gain in sales outside of Japan, but a nine-percent drop in its home market because of a new consumption tax that encouraged buyers to purchase before the end of last year. On top of that, turmoil in Southeast Asian economies like Thailand and Indonesia depressed sales in 2014 and they're facing more headwinds. The company envisions 10.15 million sales in 2015. Volkswagen, on the other hand, "has a jet engine strapped to its back called 'China,'" where Toyota is out-of-sorts. Volkswagen Group sales fell 2.9 percent in the US last year, while Toyota gained 6.2 percent here. But Volkswagen roped in 3.7 million sales in China, a 12-percent increase. Toyota enjoyed a huge bump of 12.5 percent in China, but that only got it to 1.03 million units, missing its yearly target and leading to trouble with its Chinese dealers over unsold inventory. With Toyota on the Chinese sidelines while Volkswagen guns for No. 1 status and pledges more production capacity in China – sales there are expected to top 25 million units this year – it looks like this could be the year the VW Group takes over the lead. That would be three years ahead of its original target of 2018. An analyst in Japan said Toyota is more focused on "keeping profitability than chasing numbers" – profitability is an issue for VW right now – so Toyota might not be back at the top "for [the] coming years."

VW expanding in Chattanooga, hiring workers ahead of SUV production

Sat, Feb 28 2015

Hey, look! We're writing about Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory and the focus isn't on yet another unionization effort. That's because the big news at the still-new factory is VW's plan to expand and increase its workforce in preparation for the arrival of the German brand's long-awaited midsize crossover. The expansion, which will add over half a million square feet of factory space, overhaul the assembly, body and paint shop and add 2,000 employees to the factory's ranks, officially kicked off last month. "This is a very exciting time in the history of Volkswagen Chattanooga," president and CEO of operations at the plant, Christian Koch, said in a statement. "A lot of hard work is going into adding this second vehicle line to the plant, but it is crucial to our efforts to move forward in America." "Not only will Volkswagen's expansion create thousands of new jobs, it will strengthen their roots in our city," Chattanooga's Mayor, Andy Berke, said in a statement. "From the construction at the plant to the development of a visitors center, there is no doubt that Volkswagen is invested in Chattanooga." VW Chattanooga has been a constant in the headlines over the past few years as pro-union and pro-business interests have battled over the souls representation rights of its roughly 1,500 workers. Just over a year ago, the UAW was defeated in its initial unionization bid, although pro-labor interests have not gone quietly into the night. Construction is expected to continue for two years, with production of Chattanooga's second vehicle expected to commence in 2016. Scroll down for the official press release from Volkswagen. VOLKSWAGEN CHATTANOOGA'S PLANT EXPANSION UNDERWAY Feb 24, 2015 Construction Will Add 2nd Vehicle Line: New Midsize SUV CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (Feb. 24, 2015) - Construction is underway at the Volkswagen Chattanooga manufacturing facility in preparation for production of an all new Midsize SUV. The first phase of construction started in early January 2015 and will continue for the next two years. Volkswagen Chattanooga CEO and President Christian Koch gave a site tour to Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke and Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger on Tuesday, highlighting the necessary expansion of the production areas in the body shop, paint shop and assembly areas.
