Ready to roll...Hop in and start driving and having fun right away at a very affordable price...This is the perfect car for a father son project, or someone who's always wanted a Ghia, but didn't want to spend the big bucks on a fully restored one. This is a very solid, mostly rust free Ghia, that runs and drives like a champ. The lucky new owner, can start driving and enjoying it right away just the way it is. At some point, restoring it to their individual taste and style, knowing what they're working with from the very beginning.

    The person I purchased this Ghia from had owned it for the last 14 years. During that time he slowly worked on the mechanics of the car and collected tons of extra parts to use as he went along. It was always garage kept and well maintained. Here's a partial list of the things he did, in his words:

Original fuel tank etched and lined

New fuel filler hose

New polyurethane steering bushing

KYB shocks

Original Hella headlight rings

Grant 14' steering wheel

Empi T-Handle shifter

New pedal cluster with roller pedal accelerator

New facet solid state electronic fuel pump

New urethane transaxle mounts front and rear

All parts have basically zero miles on them...

Since I've owned the car, I did a major tune-up on the 1600 Dual Port engine including Plugs, Points, Condenser. Along with adjusting the valves and changing the oil...I also adjusted the clutch cable and brakes with the idea of making it a road worthy, drivable car.

Now it's up to the next person to take it to what ever level they desire... If you have any more questions feel free to call me anytime @720-270-5637. You can also learn more about my world by clicking the "Me" link next to my feedback and going to my homemade Website. I am willing to negotiate on my "Buy It Now price" but will only do it through E-Bay, in person, or over the phone.(not through e-mails) These Ghias are getting harder harder to find as they get more and more expensive. Yes, this needs some cosmetic love and attention, but mechanically is in excellent condition. I'm including all the spare parts that you see in the pictures, along with the bumpers. Thank-you for checking out my auction and good luck bidding...

Peace, Love, and Old VW's...Joey

VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.

Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.

Volkswagen building budget car family planned for China in 2018

Mon, Jun 29 2015

Volkswagen has publicly pondered a low-cost car for China, something akin to Nissan's Datsun revival in Southeast Asia, for at least three years. In 2013 it tapped Chinese partner FAW to help develop an entire budget brand, with plans to have something on the market in 2016 in the 6,000- to 8,000-euro range. About a year ago, VW said it couldn't figure out how to engineer an inexpensive car that didn't run counter to the brand's values, then three weeks later said it had overcome the issues. Reuters now reports that VW CEO Martin Winterkorn told German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, "We will bring a budget-car family to market in 2018, with an SUV, saloon and hatchback." Winterkorn didn't offer any other details like who VW would work with to build it - VW has partnerships with both FAW and SAIC, but the announcement will be welcomed by the brand's Chinese outpost. When this adventure started, VW said it was working to create a model that would cost 6,000 to 8,000 euro. That estimate has increased. Winterkorn is now saying the 2018 offerings will come in between 8,000 and 11,000 euro. In a straight euro-to-yuan conversion, that would equate to Chinese pricing of 56,000 to 77,000 yuan. For comparison, the New Polo with a 1.4-liter engine and a manual transmission starts at 85,900 yuan. Perhaps with an eye on the success of the Nissan-Renault sub-brand Dacia in Europe and emerging markets, Winterkorn told Bild, "We will see if this is something of interest for other markets as well." On the opposite end of the price/performance spectrum, Winterkorn also said that VW is working on two new models for Bugatti, one powered by a traditional gasoline engine and another with some sort of hybrid setup. The latter model would reportedly be the higher-performing of the two, though it's not clear whether there would be two vehicle lines or two versions of the same vehicle. As ever, as soon as we know more, so will you.
