POSTING FROM MY DAD:

 

I’m 80 years old and selling my 1974 VW Beetle convertible in order to consolidate my affairs.  I’ve had it for many, many years and had it repainted about 10 years ago.  The paint still looks good as you can see.  I’ve washed the outside but I can’t get inside easily to clean and I’m not about to try, but from the pictures you can see it’s in nice shape (a little dusty though). I’ve cranked it regularly (every week) and run it. It’s been some years since I’ve had it licensed for the road, but I can tell you it runs well, and gears work fine.  I’ve driven it in our yard occasionally.  The convertible top was replaced when it was reconditioned years ago as well.  You can tell it still looks like-new.  The body is in great shape.  The metal is excellent, which is something you should look at with these older cars.  Very solid throughout.  The floor pans (like most beetles) needed replacement and I had that professionally done when it was refurbished (both sides).  You can see the sticker still on the pan from my picture taken (some persons selling their VW’s try to cover up problems with tar or paint, mine is just as you see it and in excellent shape).  Very solid car.  Any rust you see underneath is superficial.   Tires have excellent thread.   Engine runs great.  I just put a new fuel pump on it and gas rubber lines.  It runs well.  Glass is nice, no cracks.  Chrome accent strips are in excellent shape and no bends/breaks/pitting/etc.  Bumpers are solid and straight.  No dents/dings in them.  Steering wheel has a couple of cracks (which is typical of these cars).  Dash has a hard cover on it, but looks nice.  This model has a clock in the dash as well, which is rare.  Brakes are in great working condition.  I’d say you don’t need anything with this car to get it on the road and licensed and driving, maybe some gas.  What you see is in what shape it really is.  You’ll find that you can clean this car up much better and make it look so much better.  This is one of the best VW Bug Convertibles you can get in this shape.  You won’t be disappointed when you see it. I take cash only.  I have clear title.  My reserve on this auction is not high.   Feel free to call me with any questions 252-792-3158 Delma. Come buy it and drive it home. This car is located in Williamston, NC.

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%

Wed, Jan 13 2021

FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. “The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.
