Ready to roll...Hop in and start driving and having fun right away at a very affordable price...This is the perfect car for a father son project, or someone who's always wanted a Ghia, but didn't want to spend the big bucks on a fully restored one. This is a very solid, mostly rust free Ghia, that runs and drives like a champ. The lucky new owner, can start driving and enjoying it right away just the way it is. At some point, restoring it to their individual taste and style, knowing what they're working with from the very beginning. The person I purchased this Ghia from had owned it for the last 14 years. During that time he slowly worked on the mechanics of the car and collected tons of extra parts to use as he went along. It was always garage kept and well maintained. Here's a partial list of the things he did, in his words: Original fuel tank etched and lined New fuel filler hose New polyurethane steering bushing KYB shocks Original Hella headlight rings Grant 14' steering wheel Empi T-Handle shifter New pedal cluster with roller pedal accelerator New facet solid state electronic fuel pump New urethane transaxle mounts front and rear All parts have basically zero miles on them... Since I've owned the car, I did a major tune-up on the 1600 Dual Port engine including Plugs, Points, Condenser. Along with adjusting the valves and changing the oil...I also adjusted the clutch cable and brakes with the idea of making it a road worthy, drivable car. Now it's up to the next person to take it to what ever level they desire... If you have any more questions feel free to call me anytime @720-270-5637. You can also learn more about my world by clicking the "Me" link next to my feedback and going to my homemade Website. I am willing to negotiate on my "Buy It Now price" but will only do it through E-Bay, in person, or over the phone.(not through e-mails) These Ghias are getting harder harder to find as they get more and more expensive. Yes, this needs some cosmetic love and attention, but mechanically is in excellent condition. I'm including all the spare parts that you see in the pictures, along with the bumpers. Thank-you for checking out my auction and good luck bidding... Peace, Love, and Old VW's...Joey |

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.

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
