Details on the car. . .
- It is a California 1957 VW Ghia with a clean title. - Matching numbers on Body and Pan. - It looks like quite some time ago that the Original (LowLight) front end was changed out to a 60's style due to a fender bender. It is only the outer skin portion of the front clip as it retains all the 1957 metal inside the front trunk and the inner fender wells. The repair was welded all along the inside lip of where the front trunk seal lays. - The nose is straight and clean even from looking on the inside. - The inner front and rear fender wells look to be in good shape. - The car has all the glass (front, rear, rear quarters and door glass). - There is some rust on the bottom of the front fenders, along the outer rocker skins and in the rear lower quarters (where the rear bumper wraps around to the sides). - There is a small quarter size rust hole under the front hood by the gas tank passenger side. - The heater channels and door sills appear to be solid all around. There is some surface rust but they are not soft in the least. - The engine compartment metal is solid except for the passenger side battery tray, which is typical on all Ghia's at some point in their life. - Doors are solid along with fully functional internal mechanisms. - Has the Original uncut dash without gas gauge hole and radio blank off plate. - Has the Original year correct steering wheel. - All the interior color is in Original "Toucan Black" with a patina. - It has the very early heater controls (1956), which is a knob on each side of the dash compared to the later 2 levers on the driver side (1957 and up). - The car is fairly straight. There is a dent in the passenger rear quarter by the tail light and in the drivers front fender just behind and below the headlight. - The engine and gearbox looks to be updated. It looks like a 40hp engine with a split-case gearbox. The engine spins and the gearbox does shift. I have paperwork from a previous owner that shows the engine being rebuilt in the mid to late 1980's (1986-1988). The last time is looks to be registered for the road is 1991 in California. - The pans should be replaced or patched (rear pans for sure and some of the passenger front pan). - Since it has been off the road for some time I'm sure all the mechanicals, linkages, brakes, suspension, etc. . . need to be gone over. - Electrically it looks like the car is still 6 volts. * Mileage listed in the Description above is not exact. Parts that I know are missing and may or may not be a big deal to some prospective buyers. - passenger side front fender badge - rear deck lid script - interior visors - headliner (it does come with the metal bows which holds up the fabric portion of the headliner) - side exterior trim (12 pieces) - chrome front windshield trim - door sill plates - nose badge - rear (back seat) interior cards - needs window seals - there will be other misc. weather stripping and seals that will need to be replaced just based on the age of the car Parts off the car that are included in the sale. - front, rear and side quarter windows (the door glass is still installed) - Original hubcaps (4). - complete headlight assemblies - partial taillight assemblies (one lens is broke, the other is missing and one trim is cracked) - interior door cards - rear seat (bottom and back) - front seats (need be reupholstered) - rear license plate light housing - front and rear blade bumpers (rear has some toe hooks installed) - misc. nuts and bolts from parts removed PLEASE click on my PhotoBucket link to get a detailed look at the car: Photo Gallery Also click on the LowLight Registry link for VIN information: LowLight Registry I have explained the condition of the car as completely as I can and along with the pictures I am hoping you can get a good assessment.

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.
MotorWeek looks back at the 1986.5 VW Scirocco 16V
Wed, Jan 21 2015It's back to the past with MotorWeek for a video dive into the 1986.5 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V, the coupe that carried the pennant for VW's performance aspirations for 15 years, from 1974 to 1989. This one, the last generation, got the hottest of all by adding a head with four valves per cylinder. The 1.8-liter DOHC engine cranked out "an amazing" 123 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque, and made this model the fastest VW to ever be sold in America; it went from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds, faster than a Porsche 944. To compare vintage apples to modern ones, the New Scirocco with a 123-hp 1.4-liter TSI engine and a manual transmission takes 9.3 seconds. We like MotorWeek's Retro Review series not only for the cars, but for how they also remind us of what we used to find important in cars. The Scirocco here gets upvoted for its throttle response and handling, downvoted for an oddly placed oil pressure gauge and lack of battery voltage meter. We can't remember the last time a voltage meter was mentioned in a review, either its presence or lack. Check out the video above for what the definition of "US hot hatch" used to be.
