 My 1972 Karmann Ghia Coupe is for sale for $5000.00 or best offer. It has a ball-joint front suspension and IRS rear suspension. Any of the suspension pieces will also fit a ball-joint Beetle (including the disk brakes that came standard on the KGs).

NEW items are:
1: 2110cc VW Type 1 motor with a mild cam, a single 44IDF Weber carb (NOT an EMPI!), Breakerless 009 distributor, High Pressure Oil Pump, external oil filter, degreed crank pulley, alternator, dual outlet extractor exhaust with "J" tubes, and "Doghouse" fan shroud with cooler.
2: Rear axles and CV joints.
3: Front ball joints and 2 1/2 inch dropped spindles.
4: Front and rear Anti-Sway bars.
5: Windshield, windshield and back window rubber.
6: VDO Oil pressure and temperature gauges, small tachometer.
7: EMPI 8-spoke wheels with black spokes and polished rims.
8: Early Beetle-style headlights.

Rebuilt Standard VW IRS Transaxle with Scat shifter.

Body modifications:
All side windows removed and openings smoothed-over, drip rails removed, outside door handles removed and filled, front grilles removed and filled, front turn signals removed and new ones "Frenched" into the front fenders, rear deck scoop formed from steel and welded to the rear deck.

This car is currently on a Non-OP registration, but it is legal (lights, horn, wipers all work, etc.) and I have the pink slip. The mileage shown is what is shown on the odometer, but I can NOT vouch for the correctness of that reading.

The cost of the new parts alone are worth about what I'm asking, even if you don't like the body modifications. I want this car out of my garage, but I know what it's worth, so no silly offers please. E-mail me or call and leave a message if I don't pick up.

German judge 'inclined to dismiss' hedge fund lawsuit against Porsche

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Last year, around two dozen investors, including hedge funds, leveled a 1.4 billion euro ($1.95 billion at the time) lawsuit against Porsche in connection with the automaker's attempted takeover of Volkswagen in 2008. The Stuttgart Regional Court dismissed the case. Around 19 of those plaintiffs are heading back to court to appeal the ruling and still hope to get 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion). However, according to one German judge, the chances for success aren't any better this time around. "On balance it's our view that we consider the lawsuit, or the appeal, to be unpromising for several reasons," Gerhard Ruf, a judge in Stuttgart, said to Reuters. "We are inclined to dismiss the case." The court's ruling on the appeal will be announced on March 26. The investors' case hinges on Porsche's strategy surrounding the botched takeover. The sports car maker said that it wasn't trying to control VW, when in fact it was. These hedge funds had bet against Volkswagen stock, but the share price surged when Porsche's plan inevitably came to light. Investors have sued the sports car company multiple times since then in attempts to recoup billions of dollars. However, none of the lawsuits have been successful, whether attempted in the US or Germany. Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and and CFO Holger Haerter might still stand trial for the alleged stock manipulation, though.

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.

Leonardo DiCaprio buys rights to VW emissions scandal story

Tue, Oct 13 2015

The smoke – proverbial or otherwise – has yet to clear from the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal. But already they're negotiating over the book and even the movie rights to tell the story of the biggest debacle in the company's post-war history. The news revolves around Jack Ewing (no relation), European economics correspondent for the International New York Times. Ewing is preparing to write a book about the VW scandal. He's already sold the publishing rights to the as-yet untitled project to publishing house WW Norton & Company for a reported six-figure sum. Now movie producers are stepping in to buy the film rights to turn that book into a movie once it's finished. Paramount Pictures and Leonardo DiCaprio's production Appian Way have reportedly already acquired the movie rights. It remains unclear at this point, however, whether DiCaprio might act in the film as well as help produce it. His studio Appian Way produced several films in which Leo has starred in recent years, including The Aviator, Shutter Island, and The Wolf of Wall Street – but has also produced many movies without him. Of course, this isn't the first time DiCaprio has appeared on these pages. A longtime proponent of clean transportation, he was among the first Hollywood celebrities to drive a Prius, inspired the creation of the Fisker Karma, and partnered with Venturi to launch a Formula E electric racing team. It'd take some magic transformation to make DiCaprio look like Martin Winterkorn, or really any of the senior executives at Volkswagen. But whatever his involvement, we think The Wolf of Wolfsburg has a nice ring to it. Then again, so does Rolling Coal.
