1961 Karmann Ghia convertible.Very Rare. Body is sound, no repairs done during my ownership, floor pans solid, convertible top is top-of-the-line fabric and is in excellent shape,New engine (1600cc) just put in, with less than 1500 miles on it. New battery and voltage regulator. All doors shut soundly. Pix of floor pan demonstrate that it is solid. I have owned this car for about 14 years, and have clear OH title. Carpet is top of line, in excellent shape, and has sound-deadening backing for quiet ride. Headliner is decent, could use cleaning, but not sagging. Has repairable 4" tear in headliner in back seat. Back seats are in good shape, but they are same fabric/cloth, so could us recovering. Seats need recovered, they are passable but cloth so didn't hold up well, but they are the original frame seats, but otherwise interior is in good shape. Dash/plastic could use recovering, but the old style dash is all intact, with Blaupunkt original stereo. Redoing the dash on a 61 Ghia is nothing more than gluing plastic back in, I just didn't want to start something that someone might want to change. No known damage to any part of vehicle, including nose. I see a bit of bondo on top part of one of headlights, but magnet test reveals nothing else on rest of body. I have had it for 14 years, and during that time it has never been painted nor any body work, so this is an unmolested car, with NO hidden rot under recent work. It does need a new paint job to spark it up or leave as is. Also, the bumpers are original, and need rechromed, or can buy replacements, but these are original,solid bumpers, just pitted up. The same is for the luggage rack, it is pitted (it is an aftermarket luggage rack, no holes drilled to install). Rear plastic window is there, just needs sewn back in, easy fix. Also, slight leak in brake line, but that's an easy fix too. This is a great candidate for restoration, or just drive as is...either way, this is a great, sound, ride you'll get tons of enjoyment riding around town, or highway at 90mph!!! There is a slight leak in brake line, easy fix. All work done by Dayton VW expert mechanic, the only guy I've ever used. This is mechanically strong and fit, just could use a bit of cosmetic (bumpers/seatcover/paint), and you've got a classic Karmann Ghia Convertible, with a 1600cc engine. Buyer assumes all pickup/delivery cost arrangements. $1000 deposit required within 24 hours of winning bid. You won't be disappointed, unless you pass this up! I reserve right to end auction if local buyer makes cash offer. I have 2 original keys. I don't have prior paperwork from when I bought a long time ago from a guy who lived in Lodi California (just for reference, it was a "black-plated" ghia, meaning it had old school plates licensed in California.), nor much maintenance from VW expert that has done brakes/valves etc. This car drives like a dream.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
Volkswagen Group launches Truck and Bus GmbH
Tue, May 5 2015Volkswagen is not only one of the largest automakers in the world – it's also one of the biggest producers of commercial vehicles. Not just vans like the Caddy and Crafter, but proper trucks and buses. And now it's reorganizing them all under the newly incorporated Truck & Bus GmbH. The new division brings VW's two truck manufacturers MAN and Scania under one roof. MAN is, after all, wholly owned by Volkswagen, and in turn holds over 75 percent of the shares in Scania (as well as MAN Latin America). Along with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, they make the Volkswagen Group one of the largest truck manufacturers in the world, behind Daimler and Volvo (the truck manufacturer is separate from the automaker). Although VW Commercial Vehicles will apparently not form part of Truck & Bus GmbH (since it makes smaller vans more than trucks and buses), it will also report to Andreas Renschler, the Volkswagen board member in charge of the company's work vehicle operations. Renschler previously served in a similar role at Daimler. In a bit of a reversal – or a sign of things to come – Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn (who just survived a failed overthrow attempt by ousted chairman Ferdinand Piech) will sit as chair of the supervisory board of Truck & Bus GmbH. Wolfsburg, 05 May 2015 Volkswagen creates integrated commercial vehicles group • Truck & Bus GmbH to become holding for commercial vehicle brands • Prof. Martin Winterkorn: "MAN and Scania will together become global champion" • Board Member for Commercial Vehicles Andreas Renschler: "MAN and Scania brands retain their independence" • Works Council Chairman Bernd Osterloh: "The holding strengthens employees' participation rights" Volkswagen is creating the integrated commercial vehicles group and thus putting in place a structured framework for business with mid-sized and heavy trucks and buses. Truck & Bus GmbH is to become the new Volkswagen Group holding for the MAN und Scania commercial vehicle brands. This was decided yesterday (Monday) by the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG. To this end, the shares in Scania AB held by Volkswagen AG will be transferred to Truck & Bus GmbH. The wholly-owned Volkswagen subsidiary already holds 75.28 percent of the voting rights in MAN SE. Truck & Bus GmbH will establish processes specific to the commercial vehicles business, thus leveraging the full synergy potential between the brands.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
