1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Custom on 2040-cars
Eureka Springs, Arkansas, United States
For sale is my 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia custom
convertible. It was purchased as a project that never got quite finished.
Unfortunately, I have to sell due to relocation. It’s had a lot of work done on
it, both inside and out making it a one-of-a-kind find. There’s barely been a
bolt that hasn’t been touched on this and it’s been a labor of love for a
while. Body has been professionally stripped and painted in dark eggplant. The
interior inside has been POR15’d but is relatively untrimmed. 1914cc racing engine professionally assembled with dual weber
carbs and tuned Unilite distributor. I have installed a classic Porsche shifter
and 5-speed transmission with new cvs and axles. 75w 12v alternator installed
for remote door poppers, power windows and other accessories. The top was
chopped, doors and exterior shaved. It sits low and handles like a speedster. It’s currently been in storage since I stopped working on it
a few years ago (new job) and has been waiting to be delivered to someone that
can give it the attention it needs. However, it requires some work to get 100%.
Most of the work is cosmetic or to undo the few years of inattention - I really
wanted to get it to the point of being driven so before I moved it started and
ran like a champ. I have tried to represent this vehicle to the best of my
ability, but prospective bidders are encouraged to contact me. I have prepared
a detailed spec sheet explaining the car’s condition, components and history, and
can send you a copy via Email. I will be happy to answer any questions and send
more pictures to interested parties. I'm not responsible for any unexpected perceptions of the car due to a buyer not asking questions about its condition.
The winning bidder should contact me within 24 hours after
the close of the auction to finalize the details of the transaction. A
$1,000 non-refundable Paypal deposit is required within 48 hours of the
auction's close. This deposit reserves the vehicle and removes it from
the market. If winning bidder does not contact me and submit deposit, vehicle
may be made available to the next highest bidder. Full payment to be arranged
within 7 days after auction via bank wire, certified cashier's check, or cash
in person. The car can be picked up in Eureka Springs AR. Details of pickup
should be finalized within 7 days from auction end. This includes a guaranteed date of pickup if using a
shipping company. Failure to pickup from this date will result in a daily
holding fee of $20/day. Buyer is responsible for taxes and shipping expenses
resulting from the sale. |

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
