This Ghia was purchased from an estate sale from the original owner in Sacramento CA in 2005. It was then... and has always been rust free, no rust repair and no body damage ever. It was shipped to me in South Florida. I bought the Ghia to build it into what might have been if VW had determined to make the car perform at a level in keeping with its sporting design. All original panels refinished in the original color of Ravenna Green. The body was separated from the pan and every part of the car completely refurbed or replaced. Jake Raby of Aircooled technologies built a Type IV 2270 and matching 4 speed gearbox. He rates these engines dyno tested at 155hp /170lb/ft of torque. The stainless header exhaust sytem was purchased from Ahnendorp in Germany, the original exhaust manufacturer for the Porsche 356. An Oddysey AGM battery has been added since these photos. Needless to say this Ghia hustles. The brake system was upgraded with Porsche 944 calipers with Zimmerman cross drilled and vented rotors. polished Fuchs 16 X 6 wheels; including the spare. Porsche Carrera guages, Porsche Carrera seats. A period correct Blaupunkt stereo was fit with iPod/XM/Sirius capability. Full german weave carpet kit and new interior door panels, the dash is original and perfect. A period vintage Momo steering wheel completed the interior. This project was built without a budget and I realize the cost of the engine, tranny and exhaust were more than I will likely get as a sale price. But I have moved onto other projects and have too many cars... so this one will go. It is a spectacular Ghia and has won numerous first place trophies in local VW shows. Good luck bidding. Please ask questions before bidding, car is available for inspection before the auction ends.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
