Richmond, Kentucky, United States

Here is a cool 59 panel that is a "drive as you restore" It's always good to have a driver. This one is a great candidate because the mechanical part has pretty much been done. All new brake system, new shifter , new clutch kit, 12 volt system, all the lights work. Good bright headlights. .New windshield and rubber. New tires.. New battery. Nicely installed gas guage and NEW gas tank. This is very impressive mechanically but does need a new tie rod installed because it was bent in shipping.(I have it on order)NEW seat upholstery by a professional. The shifter is really good and tight unlike many busses.The carb may need some adjustment but it runs down the road fine and driven alot. Sometimes quits at stoplights otherwise runs great.  Engine is really strong . Wipers work. A professional mechanic did all the work. Body has a cool patina with most usual rust but this one looks better than most of the ones you see in east. The cargo floor has a few small holes but appears to be pretty good. Front floor pan needs attention . The rocker under door is not too good. A couple of outriggers will need attention.The drivers side looks quite good. Doglegs and corners need work and passenger door needs work although it does open and shut. Driver's wing is gone. Engine door is not attached . I have a one tailpipe bottom cover and rear bumper .Overall, a good project that is off to a really good start.  I just have too much going on. More invested than starting bid so I hope it goes up! I think for what you are getting it's worth quite a bit .Relist Buyer thought he could get the money?.call 859-623-5135 or 859-351-6649 email is probably easier but calling is fine

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept

Thu, 17 May 2012

If 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.
