Custom Built 1972 Vw Bug Sharp on 2040-cars
Calvert City, Kentucky, United States
You are looking at a custom-built 1972 VW setting on a mid-60's floor pan. All trim has been removed fenders and hood and deck lid are from a 66 model and running boards molded to car, old school fenders with mid-60's headlights, rear custom taillights. Door handles are shaved with suicide doors, hand-painted pinstripes above headlights and on rear deck lid. Paint has a few imperfections and very light paint chips from driving. Car is setting on air-bag suspension, one bag up front and two in the rear with three switches. Front has narrowed front beam also. Interior has custom suede headliner and rear deck cover, custom front and rear seats and dash. Carpet is just like new. Motor is a 1600 DP with single one-barrel, very clean motor with low miles. Runs perfect! Transmission is a 4-speed VW, no grinding gears or jumping out of gears. Car is very, very dependable. With cruise 70mph with no problem at all or strain on motor or trans. Floor pans are all new and done right. The car gets attention whether you are driving or parked in a parking lot, especially when you get out of the car and lower the air bags and drop it on the ground and open the suicide doors to get out. Motor compartment is very nice; under front deck lid needs carpet. The release buttons for the hood and deck lid are hidden. Doors open with remote poppers. Everything works on the car, except the wipers have not been hooked up. Any questions, please email or call me at (270) 816-2526. |

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
VW using other manufacturing locations as leverage in battle with TN [w/video]
Sat, 26 Apr 2014We've reached a new step in the ongoing drama at Volkswagen's factory in Chattanooga, TN. The United Auto Workers recently dropped its opposition to the union vote and agreed that it wouldn't hold another ballot for at least a year. Now, the new question becomes where VW is going to build its forthcoming midsize SUV.
Earlier, it had been considered all but certain that the SUV, likely a production version of the CrossBlue concept (pictured above), would be built in Tennessee. However, it seems the Chattanooga factory might have competition to produce it. In emails obtained by The Detroit News, VW's lawyer wrote to the Tennessee economic development department in January saying, "While we understand there are some 'non-deal' issues that are causing a delay in the TN solution, VW has been successful in reaching agreement on terms at the alternative locations."
As previously reported, the state of Tennessee allegedly offered VW about $300 million in incentives to build the vehicle there and create an estimated 1,350 jobs, but it later rescinded the deal. Newly leaked documents from NewsChannel 5 (WTVF-TV) in Nashville allegedly show just how close that offer was to being completed. It appears that VW actually sent the government the first draft of a memorandum of understanding agreeing to the incentives, but the state removed the offer in late January.
