1971 Karmann Ghia, Frame-off Restoration, Show And Go Car. on 2040-cars
Ventura, California, United States
|
This beautiful 1971 Karmann Ghia is a show winner. No, not absolutely perfect, but as close as you are going to see without paying double this price.
New interior: custom leather seats (drivers seat is electric), new matching carpets throughout, including front 'trunk' area. Good glass, new paint in and out - this is a full body-off restoration, and I have some pictures of the process if you would like to see them. I will add them as soon as I can. We purchased this car in the Denver area and easily drove it home to Southern Cal. She never missed a beat. We had no problem pegging the speedo on the downhill bits, and even going up hills we could stay with traffic. Feels safe and secure even at speeds above the legal limit. Engine is based on a stock 1600 cc dual-port engine, with just a few add-ons: Electronic ignition (no distributer) Incorporates rev limiter (set to 4,000 RPM but fully adjustable) Tachometer. See photos, the tach is in the upper left of the four smaller gauges. Oil pressure gauge. Single two-barrel carb and large-bore intake. Polished goodies all around - billet pulley, etc. Engine compartment has polished aluminum panels, looks great. Battery is under the package tray ('back seat' area). Monza exhaust. Not too loud, but gives a good strong note, and does NOT have the 'bird chirp' sound most air-cooled VW cars have. Theft lock on the shifter, all the keys work including glove box. The speedo has been replaced, and is showing just under 2,000 miles. This is NOT the true mileage. I do not know the mileage on the engine, but it runs perfectly. Rebuild receipts included. Custom stereo is great! Six disk changer, Good speakers in the custom kick panels, sub woofer with power amp in back (on it's own power switch). It even has a 12v outlet to plug your radar detector in. I do recommend that... You can drive this car home, or I can work with your shipper to load the car. I will even deliver it to the local SoCal area: I love driving this thing up and down the coast with the windows open and the tunes blasting. CA title is clear, current, and in hand ready to sign over. |

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively.
