Up for sale here is a 1977 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible. This is the rare Karmann model with the Fuel Injected motor in it. The previous owner of this car purchased it in 2005 in California and drove it back to Canada. It has never been winter driven, never seen snow. He was told the motor was re-built, but there are no receipts to prove this. It runs good, no smoke, no knocks, starts good and seems to have good power. The car was partially restored by the previous owner 5 or 6 years ago, but then lost interest and never finished it. New floor pans were put in it from front to back and new running boards were also put on it. A new PPG windshield with rubber gasket was put in it. The car has had allot of new rubber weather stripping. The seats were re-upholstered at some point in time. New carpet has been put in it. A brand new top was purchased, it was partially installed but not professionally installed. The top needs to be finished being installed, it is not usable as is. The rear window is not put in it, but I have it. I never left the car outside or put the top up so it was no big deal to me. The top frame was sand blasted and painted, a new oak bow was bought and installed too. Overall I would say this is a really nice rust free California car that just needs to TLC. It is in driver condition, nothing on it is perfect, but you can drive it and enjoy it right now. I just put a new brake system on it, including the master cylinder and all 4 wheel cylinders. New tie rod end. The tires are in good condition with lots of tread, they look nearly new. Good Driver at a Great Price !

VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
Anti-UAW VW workers move to form own union
Sat, 30 Aug 2014The struggle over unionization at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, continues to get more complicated. There's now a second union fighting to organize at the plant; although this one is staunchly against the actions of the United Auto Workers. At the same time, the UAW is still signing up voluntary members to its recently created Local 42 at the facility and is reportedly near having a majority of the hourly employees on its side.
The new, anti-UAW union campaign is being spearheaded by employee Mike Burton, according to Reuters, and he calls his group the American Council of Employees. He claims to already have 108 signatures in support of his organization. Burton believes that the UAW is harmful to businesses, and his goal is to force another vote to determine a preferred union among workers.
The UAW was initially defeated (712 to 626) when it attempted a union vote at the Tennessee plant in February. However, UAW secretary-treasurer Gary Casteel told Reuters that Local 42 has already signed up over 700 members. If it can reach a majority of the roughly 1,500 employees, the group hopes VW might consider recognizing it as the factory's union.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
