This Ghia was purchased from an estate sale from the original owner in Sacramento CA in 2005. It was then... and has always been rust free, no rust repair and no body damage ever. It was shipped to me in South Florida. I bought the Ghia to build it into what might have been if VW had determined to make the car perform at a level in keeping with its sporting design. All original panels refinished in the original color of Ravenna Green. The body was separated from the pan and every part of the car completely refurbed or replaced. Jake Raby of Aircooled technologies built a Type IV 2270 and matching 4 speed gearbox. He rates these engines dyno tested at 155hp /170lb/ft of torque. The stainless header exhaust sytem was purchased from Ahnendorp in Germany, the original exhaust manufacturer for the Porsche 356. An Oddysey AGM battery has been added since these photos. Needless to say this Ghia hustles. The brake system was upgraded with Porsche 944 calipers with Zimmerman cross drilled and vented rotors. polished Fuchs 16 X 6 wheels; including the spare. Porsche Carrera guages, Porsche Carrera seats. A period correct Blaupunkt stereo was fit with iPod/XM/Sirius capability. Full german weave carpet kit and new interior door panels, the dash is original and perfect. A period vintage Momo steering wheel completed the interior. This project was built without a budget and I realize the cost of the engine, tranny and exhaust were more than I will likely get as a sale price. But I have moved onto other projects and have too many cars... so this one will go. It is a spectacular Ghia and has won numerous first place trophies in local VW shows. Good luck bidding. Please ask questions before bidding, car is available for inspection before the auction ends.

VW launches special edition Touareg X
Tue, 03 Dec 2013Volkswagen is no stranger to special editions, but its Touareg SUV has remained largely unspecial in terms of exclusive trims or unique packages. That's changed with the announcement of the Touareg X, a 1,000-unit run based on the V6 TDI Lux trim - mid-range diesel model, between the navigation-equipped TDI Sport and the TDI R-Line.
The already special Touareg gets 19-inch "Moab" wheels, LED taillights (to go along with its LED DRLs) and "Touareg X" badging, while all 1,000 units will be painted Moonlight Blue Pearl. Tweaks in the cabin are equally light, with a black-on-black-on-black color scheme dominating - black Vienna leather, a black headliner and piano black trim. Aluminum bits make an appearance in the form of the door sills and pedals, although that's about it.
Other than those few aesthetic tweaks, the Touareg X is equipped largely like the Touareg Lux on which it's based. That means navigation, a panoramic sunroof, power seats, LED running lights, dual-zone air conditioning and heated power seats, among other tech pieces. Pricing starts at $56,170, making for a slight bump of $1,195 over the standard Touareg Lux.
Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
