This is an Original and Classic 1966 Convertible VW Karmann Ghia with a 1600cc engine. If you are looking for a classic convertible Karmann Ghia you will be challenged to find a nicer car than this one. The car looks, runs, and drives great. When on the road this Jet Black Ghia is a real head turner. The vehicle itself is solid and has never been in any kind of car accident. The body has all of its original metal and the nose area which is susceptible to experiencing damage is intact, a virgin car. Although this beautiful car was made in Germany its true home has been Southern California for the past 48 years. Maybe not born in SoCal, but certainly raised here. In truth the car has spent about the previous 10 years covered up in a garage until the restoration was started. The exterior as well as interior restoration was completed about five years ago, but the car went right back into the garage where it sat and only exercised once a month to keep all of the moving parts functioning correctly. The vehicle itself is fully converted to a 12 volt system. It has a super strong 1600cc engine with a single dual port carb that is ready to go and go fast. Basically what you see in the photographs is what you will receive. Unfortunately the photographs cannot capture the full beauty of the car, but I guarantee that if you like the pictures than you will love the car. Facts and issues that must be addressed; As I previously mentioned the car is in
wonderful working condition and I am confident that you will love your
purchase, but in all fairness to the buyer I must mention all defects that I have
found. Although the pan is in great shape it does have a small hole about the
size of a .50cent piece behind the driver’s seat. The fix is very simple but I
must disclose this fact. As with most VW engines there is a small oil leak around
the oil pan area. The car has very minor scratches that are not visible under
normal inspection, but if you look hard enough you will find them (about 3).
The front header wooden bow of the convertible top was replaced due to damage. Unfortunately I decided to use graphite (more
resistant to water damage) and not wood, which I regret. I believe that the
wooden bow would have given me a better fit. Although the head lights, break
lights, and signals operate normally the wire harness should be updated. |

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
Audi considers a rugged SUV — maybe on the Scout platform
Fri, Jan 27 2023Audi engineers are formulating plans to possibly build a “super saloon” luxury off-roader SUV in 2027, It would compete in a segment that now includes the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes-Benz G-Class, according to a report in BritainÂ’s Autocar. According to Audi designer Marc Lichte, quoted in the story, the platform for the new model could be borrowed from the Volkswagen GroupÂ’s recently announced sister brand, Scout Motors, which is currently developing electric-powered concepts and prototypes. While Audi has developed a PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture for its base EV lineup, that would be replaced in the planned model with ScoutÂ’s ladder chassis to provide the steep departure angles and ground clearance needed to negotiate tough terrain, as well as with the latest generation of AudiÂ’s Quattro four-wheel-drive technology, Autocar reports. Audi is well into development of its Activesphere project, an enticing design blend of coupe and hatchback. The Activesphere uses PPE, co-developed by Audi and Porsche, and will appear in a production Audi product by the end of this year. Audi says. Beyond that, “I think there is space" for a rugged SUV in AudiÂ’s passenger car lineup, Lichte said. “There is potential because there are only two premium players” in this particular segment" (Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover) “and I think there is a space for a third one.” The upscale Defender was by far Land RoverÂ’s best-selling car last year, with 66,805 sold, and the G-Class set a new sales record the previous year with 41,174 moved worldwide. Audi obviously would like to capitalize on this popularity of the rugged 4x4 segment. The proposed competitor, said Lichte, “will not look like a G-Class and it will not look like a Defender, I can promise you. It will be something else."
German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe
Fri, Apr 22 2016Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.
