Beautiful  1973 Karmann Ghia Coupe

I purchased the Karmann Ghia in  2005 from a gentlemen here in San Diego . He bought the car in 1997  and stared to restore it but lost interest in it.

 The car was bought from the VW dealer in West Hollywood .

 When I bought the car was green and repainted Red Scarlet

 The car has the original 1600cc dual port engine with electronic ignition and alternator  .

 The previous owner had  the rear floor pan replaced .

I coated the floor with POR 15 to prevent from rust and applied sound deadening on  the floor ,the front wall and the engine wall . 

The car runs very strong and is very dependable .

It's my daily driver .

 Always garaged and never driven in the rain.

 No rust 

 Starts  on the first kick and runs great!  

Everything works except clock & windshield washers

 Heater works well.

Clear California Title

California Tag good until Jan. 2015

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
