1969 Vw Karmann Ghia on 2040-cars
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, United States
This is a 1969 VW Karmann Ghia. This is a really nice car that was customized into a roadster. The engine is a 1915cc with dual Weber 40 IDF carburetors from CB Performance. Current mileage is 3,502. Being a full time open top, I only drove it in perfect sunny weather!! The transmission is a new 4 speed freeway flyer. A new set of floor pans, front steering parts and shocks all the way around were installed by Dynabug in Tulsa, OK. The 4 wheel disc brakes are crossed drilled and are also from CB Performance. The front end has dropped spindles with stock front beam. Most of the sheet metal is powder coated for better cooling. Wheels are Empi Spoke Chrome plated sitting on 195/550R15 Nitto tires. The Stereo system is an Alpine 205 DVD Player, that plays DVD's even while in drive. Rear subwoofers(2) are JL Audio 12w3v3-4 running off a Kicker 1000w Ampliflier. The front component speakers are Focal 165KF 6.5" with built in crossover running off a Kicker 350w 4 channel Amp along with Focal 130CA for the mids. This system really hits hard, has deep bass, clear sound, without all that rattling noise!! Dynamat sound dampening material is installed under the upholstery. A Compu-Fire Dual Cool 90 Amp Alternator installed to support all this power along with a Red Top Battery. The Seats are from SCAT and are the Low Pro's with a matching rear seat with extra padding. Interior accessories are from Sewfine using Earth Tweed. A custom roll bar for added safety. The dash is loaded with Carbon Fiber Autometer Gauges which includes the Speedo, Fuel, Oil Psi, Oil Temp & Volt Meter. A Tachometer is housed in the engine area for setting the idle. The body was removed from the pan, the roof was cutoff, sandblasted, shaved door handles & gas cap, reinforced convertible pillars, custom dash holes, custom wiring harness, paint and body work all professionally done by Vintage Customs in Broken Arrow, OK. This is really a fun, fast car to drive and gets soooooooo many looks & compliments!!!! I really don't want to get rid of it but sometimes a man has to depart with his Toys :( Click/Copy Link for Youtube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT8mOErFOF8 |

VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch
Sun, 20 Apr 2014This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
