1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible on 2040-cars
|
Up for sale is our 1971 Ghia convertible. Runs and drives really nice- recently serviced, new belt, new German big pulley and German little pulley. When I bought her about years ago it had the aluminum Scat pulley system. I exchanged for an original German pulley set. Front light and back light are in working order as well as the windshield wipers and horn. Floors had patch work done in the rear area prior to my ownership. Doors close nice and solid. Rocker panels are solid and the door post are solid. No rot. The car is garaged kept by me and also from the previous owner. I had no plans to restore and wanted a weekend/Florida winter weather driver. Car will need your touches and is ready for a new owner. We love this car and my wife and kids will be a little disappointed but we are entertaining the idea of buying/trading for a VW THING or Pre68 VW Bus. Also included is the convertible sun cover pictured. I do have the original rear glass for her.Clean title on hand. Please email for more information or pictures. Convertible top frame is complete with the hardware, front bow is in good shape. The top is present but the top will need to be repaired or replaced - we only drive it when the weather is nice and always with the top down anyway :), it will also need a headliner. I do have the original rear glass for her. Keep in mind it's a 40 year old car that was actually enjoyed and will have your traditional blemishes for it's age. Original color was orange and can see some of the original color in a couple of the wheel walls and under the steering wheel column. We've owned her for 4 years have driven her occasionaly every other month. True mileage is unknow but I believe the last owner had it rebuilt about the same mileage displaying on the odometer (which he owned for close to 10 years). I do start her up every month and she starts up like a champ. We must have only driven her less then 1000 miles and mostley to church on Sundays. I will help with coordinating shipping (at your expense) to get her to your new home. Send your best offer, good luck and god bless! |

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
