B E A U T I F U L  1970 VW Karmann Ghia convertible.  This car is fun to drive especially with the top down on a nice summer day.  It gets lots of attention wherever it goes.

It starts easily, runs well, stops well.   Per the previous owner the motor was rebuilt and now has just under 4K miles on it.  It was built with around 10K on odometer, its a  2017cc with dual webber carbs and electronic fuel pump. Some of the work was done at Chico Performance. The exhaust is a Vintage Speed Super Flow stainless steel. The transmission is also relatively new with a rebuild and about 4K miles on it; its set up with a taller 4th gear (a.k.a. Freeway Flyer).  Had a complete tune-up about 700 miles ago. I have all the receipts that were given to me from the previous owner as well as all of mine. 

The paint is in really nice condition, it is not show condition but looks real nice. The drivers side door has some orange peel look to it when you get real close.

Wheels are EMPI brand Porsche Fuch style. Tires are like new, approx 2K miles on them. The breaks are in great condition.  The car has been lowered, using drop spindles, about two inches in the front giving it that clean custom look.

The convertible top is like new as is the boot.  Both are high quality canvas and the top has a plastic window in excellent shape. The liner is is great shape too.

Interior is beautiful two tone black and cream, the seats are fairly comfortable for an older car.  There is a AM/FM Sony CD player with Infinity speakers too. The interior black carpet is in great shape and there are red and black Coco floor mats.

All the electrical is in good working condition, Lights, Radio, Turn signals, horn, wipers, etc.  The cigarette lighter is not wired and the clock and small interior light on the rear view mirror are not working.

All chrome is in great condition, front bumper has some pitting on one blade, rear bumper does not.

This car is currently licensed and has a clear Califonia State title.

This car is rust free, the pans were replaced and all the rockers and panels are straight and clean.

I am willing to work with your transporter/shipper at your expense (The buyers expense).

A down payment of $1000 must be secured via PayPal within 24 hours of winning bid.  The remaining balance is required via a bank transfer or cash within 7 days of the auction ending.

This vehicle is being sold as is, there is no warranty either expressed written or implied.  

The vehicle must be picked up.  Seller is willing to work with your transporter/shipper at the buyers expense.

If you have any questions please ask, I will reply a s quickly as possible.

Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.

VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.

VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
