1968 Ghia

 

I have owned this car since around 2000. It is not running at this time and batteries are not charged. This Ghia was put in storage about 5 years ago and has not been driven since. The motor and suspension are made for racing or at least going fast. This has been a wonderful car and I have had tons of compliments but it is not a practical everyday car. Below is the information handed down from the previous owner when I purchased this car. I’m sad to sell it and hope it goes to a great home.

 

 

  • Body:  show quality paint (jaguar Carnival Red). Shaved reflectors and license plate holder.  All new rubber throughout (everywhere)

 

  • Interior:  All new carpet, upholstery and headliner.  Painted dash. shroud system: Pioneer deh-p7200 AM/FM/CD player with detachable face, high power Crossfire amp, combination of MB Quart and Pioneer speakers. Original rebuilt clock and speedometer.  New tachometer, oil temp and oil pressure gauges.

 

  • Suspension:  narrowed adjustable front axel beam with new bearings, bushings and seals.  Front torsion springs. CB Performance dropped spindles and wheel bearings. German ball joints, tie rod ends, gas shocks all around. Narrowed rear trailing arms with all new bushings, seals and axel bearings.

 

  • Brakes:  calipers, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, steel lines, rubber lines, drums and rotors.

 

  • Wheels:  16 X 7 ROH wheels. 205-55-16 Dunlop Sport 8000 tires all around.

 

  • Drive Line:  Rebuilt CB Performance high horsepower transaxle. The engine is a 2110 with about 25,000 miles on it before the rebuild.  It was balanced, ported, polished and built with the following:  German cases, DMS Crank, Crower connecting rods, CB Performance bare Magnum heads prepared by Mc Carghy Racing Heads, Mahle pistons, dual Dellorto carbs, pre oilier system, dual oil filter system, Gene Berg Type IV oil cooler conversion, oil sump, Gene Berg oil pump 1 5/8 merged header, custom dual Flowmaster exhaust system, New MSD ignition, Kenedy clutch, hydraulic clutch conversion with new master and slave cylinders.

VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The 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.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
