You are bidding on a 1965 VOLKSWAGEN * SEDAN , non-operational / registered. This car is being offered as a builder.The car has been sitting for awhile. Overall condition of body is FAIR. This car comes with stock low back seats. Rear seat cushions are there. This vehicle is 99 % complete (missing headlights, but might be buried somewhere, will up-date ad IF found). As stated, body appears to be in fair condition with the exception of the front clip (where spare tire goes). . Someone has tried to hammered it back as close to original as possible, but...hey, it's a hammer! The right way would be to replace the old metal with new metal. Both front fenders are new (one can be seen in the picture, taken with the right side passenger door open, next to the running board) - it's black). The rear fenders appear to be fair/good, quarter panels are good, and rear clip show no sign of damage. Stock deck lid fair/good condition, the hood is junk...might have another, will up-date ad if I find one. Has good gas tank, headliner is junk. All the glass is original (has pop-out windows). Both front & rear bumpers in fair condition. Both doors, in good working condition, windows roll up & down with little ease. There is very little rust on this car, The pan has MAJOR rust issues, but this vehicle comes with new pans (L&R), that will need to be installed. Steering wheel has cracks, horn ring good, dashboard good, wiring appears to be 'OK' (notice the 12 volt flasher), there is no radio. If you look close, you can see the keys hanging from the glove box. The tires are not in good condition (fair rollers), but will need replacement if you plan to rebuild and drive this vehicle. Running condition UNKNOWN....comes with a 1500 cc motor. This mystery motor appears to be complete, and turns by hand, and that's about it....it's a real beauty! Oh, the engine compartment has 'webber holes' (see pictures) I can't guarantee it, but I'm sure we have all the parts that go with this car, including the headlights...I will continue to look and up-date the ad if I locate them. As it stands now, what is being shown in the pictures is what you are bidding on. Note: I'm not sure of exact mileage, so I listed as 100.000. Not sure where the license plates are, but we have them....please see all pictures. Located in Salinas, California and is being sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS. As I stated, this vehicle is being offered as a builder, there's no good reason this car can't be up and running with a little effort. Comes with a clear pink slip..
Please note: I'm selling this car for a friend. If you have any questions or need additional pictures please email me and I will do my best to answer them (please, don't wait until the last day to ask, this car is a few miles from my home). The successful bidder will need to move the vehicle with-in one week (7 days) after purchase. Additional time may be granted, however buyer will need to contact me for approval. I'm not in a position to actually move the vehicle, however I can assist in making arrangements. Thank you and good luck bidding!

UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.
