1968 Volkswagen VW Karmann Ghia Convertible (Vert) May 2004 Hot VWs Cover Car http://www.hotvws.com/backIssues3.php?bID=438 Stunning, head turning, unique, 60s car. Car has REAL Porsche Fuchs wheels with cookie cutters on the front. 1904 High Performance Engine, with Dual Carburetors, Weber 44 IDFs. (The car previously had 51 IDAs on it). Hydraulic clutch. Over 80 hours of custom porting and head machine work. Car has a low race car "growl" when you drive it. Aluminum high performance exhaust (1 5/8") Has brand new gray top, top boot, and headliner. Take an opportunity to own a real classic car. Downright awesome. Runs great, with all electrical working. Has grant racing steering wheel and JVC stereo system (but no speakers in the car). Custom colored upholstery in red, orange, and gray. Gene Berg shifter. A great opportunity to own an awesome car. Great car to cruise in (Hot August Nights or Bugorama) or go out and play with the rice burners. Make those VW bug, thing, beetle, and van drivers gawk at you. Condition Car is somewhere between a 9.5 and 9.6 out of 10. Car was a full frame off restoration (at over $60,000) as documented in the May 2004, hot VWs article. The attached pictures document the condition. Obviously, for a 1968 car, this is an astounding specimen. It is great to feel the wind in your hair and to get the looks like you are driving a Ferrari. Paint is popping red and makes the car look breathtaking. Background I inherited a '67 Karmann Ghia when I got married. The car was "rough" with rusted pans and an engine that ran poorly. As a result, I moved 7 times and the car never ran. It became the collection point for our Christmas decorations and was just the "junker" in the garage. After cleaning out the mouse nest out of the car, I was put at the crossroads of fixing the car or junking it. While looking at my options (and just attending Hot August Nights), I was able to find this restored 1968 car. After a soccer game with the kids in 2011, I had the valet bring around this beauty to give to my wife. After the joy died down, she reminded me that I had to still restore the 1967 junker anyway. With it being 2014, I have two more teenage drivers and two more cars, and a really tough Homeowners Association that doesn't allow me to park on the street. Accordingly, I have to sell this awesome car. The previous owner, used to drag race this car. The car didn't run very well in Reno and I invested $1500 and put more streetable IDF carburetor set up on it beyond the original 51 IDAs. However, the engine would take the 51 IDAs. The car has a tach and a wide footprint in the back. I had my VW mechanic raise the car, given that it was too low previously. The stiff hydraulic clutch is still there and is a reminder that this is not a normal VW. I have another ghia (as mentioned) that has a 2276 that dyno-ed out at 155 HP and this car is much faster than that one. I have driven this car very little (less than 100 miles) since I owned it. I have clean title. It is ready to go for the season. My biggest reservation about this car is having someone steal it. I love this car, and you will too. Will throw in some extra copies of the May 2004 Hot VWs magazine for you. I appreciate that buying some things on ebay is tough. I have fully disclosed all I know about the car. Please no crazy low offers and no flakes. Don't bid unless you plan on buying. I will coordinate with your shipper. If you decide to buy it now, I will cover US domestic shipping to your door.

Volkswagen Group looks to add ridesharing brand to portfolio
Fri, Sep 30 2016Volkswagen is rapidly trying to put the ongoing diesel scandal behind it at the Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of the automaker's electric I.D. Concept. In addition to unveiling the EV, the automaker also announced that it established a yet-to-be-named subsidiary for ridesharing purposes. The new brand will be VW Group's 13th, and will add mobility services to in the form of a carpooling service, similar to that of Uber and Lyft. This will include teaming up with Gett – a cab-hailing startup that operates in roughly 70 cities worldwide, which includes New York City, that was previously known as GetTaxi. Earlier this year, VW invested $300 million in the company. In addition to ridesharing, VW Group claims it is also hard at work on its own shuttle service as the brand aims to become a leader in urban mobility services by 2025. The name of the 13th brand and more information on the subsidiary will be released in November. VW Group also announced plans to give Gett drivers in Moscow, Russia "preferential terms" on a Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Jetta, Skoda Octavia, or Skoda Rapid. VW Group's 13th brand sounds similar to Mercedes-Benz's Vision Van Concept, which the automaker would allow consumers to lease and purchase the vehicle, as well as rent its services on a short-term basis. While the Vision Van Concept is a commercial vehicle that has delivery drones on the roof to aid deliveries, VW Group's shuttle service sounds more like autonomous buses to ferry people around. Now that diesels are dead, Volkswagen has quickly embraced the future, where autonomous and electric vehicles coexist. Related Video: Related Gallery Volkswagen I.D.

Volkswagen is not cool with a Fiat Chrysler merger
Wed, Mar 8 2017Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller shot down Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne's overtures for a merger in blunt fashion this week. Mueller told Reuters at the Geneva Motor Show, "We are not ready for talks about anything ... we have other problems. I haven't seen Marchionne for months." The unusually candid – and icy – response from one chief executive to another comes after Marchionne similarly pursued General Motors (again) this week. The FCA boss suggested GM might be looking for a new European partner as it prepares to unload its troubled Opel and Vauxhall divisions to PSA. A GM spokesman told USA Today that the company is not interested. Marchionne has been openly suggesting a GM merger since at least 2015, despite GM never reciprocating interest. VW's "other problems," as Mueller notes, include legal proceedings, fines, recalls, and other issues related to its long-running diesel scandal. Marchionne has long sought industry consolidation, arguing that automakers don't get a proper return on their investments in technologies, some of which are relatively similar. He's suggested sharing chassis and powertrain components could be a benefit to the collective auto sector. Skeptics argue FCA, which is smaller than GM, VW, Toyota, and others, needs a partner to survive, while its rivals already have the necessary scale to remain competitive. Related Video:
