1967 Vw Beetle Sedan on 2040-cars
Pasadena, California, United States
|
Flat 4 steering wheel, Gene Berg short shifter, Rockford Fosgate stereo system with rear speaker tray, rancho transmission (approx 5k miles on it). I recently performed a complete rebuild of the front end including all of the following (all have less than 5 miles drive time and are all new parts): All new ball joints, wheel bearings front and back, steering box, steering dampener, turn signal switch, turn signal relay, 2" narrow CB performance front beam, Airkewld front single pot Wilwood disc breaks, Airkewld custom lowered shocks all around, break master cylinder, new rubber fuel lines, stainless steel flexible break lines all around, new steel hard break lines all around, fuel tank cleaned and coated inside and out with rust preventer. Entire front clip cleaned and coated with POR rust inhibitor The rear was also lowered 1 outer spline with new rubber grommets and many rear pieces sandblasted and powdercoated. I am also including the original 1967 front beam, 2" narrowed CB performance front sway bar (removed due to ground clearance), a box of goodies (including fan belt, hoses, various gaskets, etc), car cover, original steering wheel and shift lever, grease gun, battery tender, and torque meister wrench for rear gland nut removal. Issues with the car I am aware of include a rusted area in the rear package tray (this has been coated with rust converter and temporarily patched), a fairly large dent in the right rear fender, and a small rub on the front tires on wide turns. It also needs the front alignment done as has not been done yet after the rebuild. As best I can tell, the engine is NOT original to vehicle and is a 1300cc. Will ship, but buyer to make arrangements please. Original mileage is unknown. |

BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
