Heres a 1972 Volkswagen bug, red with black interior. Drivetrain: Engine fires right up and runs great, no smoke, and transmission shifts well. The car was registered and on the road until just recently, and I still drive it up and down the street occaisonally to keep the fluids fresh.I have the original owners manual, radio manual, and dealer network book. Brakes work but require a bit of extra pressure so it may need an adjusment or shoes replaced maybe. The E-brake works as well. The lights, instruments, factory radio, wipers, etc. are in working order. The heater is disconnected. The car has newer tires(correct ones for a classic vw), perfect hubcaps, and the rims were repainted recently. The car was originally yellow but now is red. You can see around some of the lights and body gaskets where the yellow is showing, however the underside of hood, trunk lid,and jams were painted red to match. The interior is clean with a good dash, headliner and back seat, drivers seat has tears in base and the passenger seat has a small hole in the upper corner.The rubber seals around windows etc look original and are dry. Overall the car looks decent going down the road and gets alot of attention, but has some imperfections in the paint, and some bubbles in areas like around the fender. The floors and heater channels had work done at some point and are solid. As you can see from the photo, the inside of trunk and spare tire well are super clean and solid, however the area that needs attention is just below this in the front of the car. The lower part of the "frame head" as it is called has significant rust and should be repaired or replaced. It affects the inner wheel wells and there's some thinness in some of the rocker areas. The car feels solid from behind the wheel, steers fine, and the doors close tight, and although it was being driven like this, I urge the buyer to go through the front end and make the necessary repairs. They are aftermarket frame head replacements available for less than $100. Because of this issue the reserve is very low. There are too many nice things about this car to part it out or anything like that, so I hope the new owner will keep it going. The car is sold as is with no warranty, and the buyer is responsible for pick-up. Connecticut does not have titles on antique cars but I do have the last registration and an official CT Q-1 bill of sale for transferring legal ownership in this state. Contact me with any questions by email or call (eight-six-zero)-377-0700. Thanks for looking!

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
