Incredible 1967 volkswagon Karmann Ghia, Corvette
yellow (2 stage), 2-Door Coupe!
Clean title! The vehicle is almost complete with
restoration and just needs your personal touch to
finish it off! Purchased over 10 years ago and
garage stored ever since!! Car has never seen
snow. Drive it away today and turn heads
everywhere you go as this is one incredible
looking vehicle that can be driven for personal
enjoyment or even completed to enter car shows.
Very rare and unique vehicle! Drives and sounds
amazing (must see!). Dash reads 38,013 but new
motor has less than 500 miles on it!
Recent work completed:
Exterior; Original Smoothie wheels in amazing
restored condition. Custom Porsche Head lights
Conversion make this vehicle really stand out. Car
was lowered about 1 1/2”. Bumper bar holes still
placed in front and rear.
Engine & Electrical; A very fast custom built
1985cc performance engine that sounds and runs
like a Porsche. Smooth 4 speed transmission.
Chrome Shrouds. Short shifter, (shifts like a
Porsche) EMPI exhaust. Complete tune up with
rebuilt carb. No leaks as everything was recently
checked. All lights work; brake light and signals.
Interior; 80% done. Brand new full car black
carpet kit and black door panels both from EMPI.
No locks. *Also have an extra fiberglass dashboard
that hasn't been cut yet! Kill switch in place,
but not hooked up.
Minor Damage;
Unfortunately when we were working on vehicle,
front rolled into another car in neutral but only
paint damage and cracked headlights (noticeable
only when you are up close). The body is straight
and no other damage from the unfortunate accident
while we were working on car. This was NOT a
moving accident on the road. There is some minor
paint touch up needed above the front hood and
below from where it didn't open before.
Just a couple minor Knicks here and there, reason
being because car has no true panels but nothing
that cant be taken care of with a little TLC. We
were waiting to finish off after all work was
completed.
Car was driven during repairs and runs excellent!
Even not being done all the way, it was hard to
drive one block without someone asking about the
car!

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
