Up for sale is a Vintage 1971 Type 3 Volkswagen Squareback (Variant). This is an extremely cool patina'd ride that is fun to drive and be seen in. I The car had been parked for three years and I just got it back on the road. It had been sitting so long because the starter went out and I just put it on the back burner until now. I installed a brand new starter, solenoid, and battery. Before it was parked, I had the carburetors rebuilt, a new clutch put in, an alternator conversion done, and new brakes. It has good tires, the front seats are nice, the rear seat has a rip but is covered up with the Mexican blanket that I think looks cool. The car has old school venetian blinds and a mesh sun visor which are hard to find. I had to have them shipped in from Australia. It also has a cool full length roof rack and a wicker under dash rack. I have replaced all the rear window rubber. The windshield rubber does need to be replaced, but a new one is included with the car. The car has a fresh inspection sticker and registration. The car seems to have no issues other than it does leak some oil like most old Dubs do and the driver's side window is having a hard time going down, but other than that all seems good. The body looks good with a few dings and faded paint but that all ads to it's character. The car looks cool as is and I think should be left as is. People like this car and it gets a lot of attention. I purchased this car in California as that is where I moved from. This is a cool, fun car but it is 40 something years old so it is Sold As-Is. You would be hard pressed to find a cool Vintage car with this much character for what I am asking. Thanks, Steve
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE MILAGE IS. It was not working when I purchased the car

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
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.
