I have spent countless hours and a lot of money restoring this vehicle and getting it to the point where it is now. It started out in life as a Rialta Motorhome. The Rialta is one of the most desired and sought-after motorhomes ever made; restored, a Rialta will go for over $20,000 today. One of the main attributes of the Rialta is that it has a Volkswagen drivetrain--which means parts will always be readily available, and German engineering and reliability simply can't be beat. The previous owner removed all of the old, out-dated, motorhome interior, plumbing, and wiring. Since I've had it, I recarpeted the walls, put in a new ceiling, resealed the roof (including new vents and extra supports), and installed new window seals where needed. I also stripped the floor, coated it completely with rust-proofing primer/sealer, and covered it with several layers of extremely durable, truck bed coating. I haven't finished everything, but the vehicle is at a point now where you could install your new interior--whatever and however you'd like it to be. If you're not looking to use it as a motorhome, this vehicle could certainly be used as a very roomy stand-up van or work truck just as it is now. I'm about 5'10" and I can walk around comfortably inside this vehicle with no crouching at all. It is so roomy inside that it almost seems like a studio apartment--so much bigger inside than a standard van or Eurovan (it's about 6' x 11' inside) . As big as it is on the inside, the outside of it is just about small enough to fit in a standard parking space--which is a real plus! From the outside, it is very inconspicuous--and it basically just looks like a wide, extended van and not an RV--that's one of the best aspects of this vehicle! I had planned to do this as part of the restoration. The vehicle currently DOES run and drive but I had planned to restore the engine along with everything else as well, if I was going to keep it. I really wish I could keep this vehicle, and I originally bought it with the intention of turning it back into a customized motorhome and keeping it forever, but I ran out of money and need to sell it now to pay down some bills. The windshield has a few bullseyes and cracks but the rest of the glass is in great shape. The exhaust may need a small section repaired/replaced, and the A/C will need to be looked at too--it doesn't blow very cold, especially on very hot days. The rear suspension creaks somewhat when backing out of the driveway etc., but I was told this may be normal. There are some other minor issues that may need tending to as well--but then again, that is to be expected with an 18 year old vehicle. In any event, I suggest (if you're interested in this vehicle), that you come by and check it out for yourself before bidding, but either way, happy bidding! |

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
VW recognizes second union at Chattanooga plant
Wed, Feb 18 2015The ongoing story of organizing workers at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. Following an independent audit, the automaker has now recognized a second union at the plant called the American Council of Employees. The group was founded there last year to offer an alternative to the United Auto Workers. "I'm not anti-union. I understand that a properly run union can benefit people. We will be that union," Sean Moss, president of the ACE, said to Reuters, according to Automotive News. The group claims to represent at least 15 percent of the workers at the plant. Acceptance of the ACE has led to an interesting situation in Chattanooga because VW also recognized the UAW at the factory in December 2014, and the group has claimed to represent at least 45 percent of workers there. According to Automotive News, each union has access to management, but the UAW has more because of its larger contingent of supporters. However, neither organization has a collective bargaining agreement with the automaker. Moss may have a rough time increasing support among employees at the factory. According to Automotive News, many anti-UAW workers there are completely against unions in general. Getting these folks to join his group isn't an easy task. The UAW has been working to fully represent the VW factory for years. However, the group lost a vote to do so in 2014. It eventually created a union local there to try to build support. All of the effort comes ahead of a $900 million plant expansion to add about 2,000 jobs and build a new crossover in Tennessee.

Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.
