Up for sale is a 3 or 4 owner 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible which comes with many receipts dating back as far as April 23, 1973 when the car was purchased for $2,150. It came to the East Coast from Salt Lake City, Utah after being owned by that owner from 1973 to February 1, 2002. I purchased it from that owner in Falls Church, Virginia in December of 2007, and from that point on it has been garaged in Ashburn, Virginia where the car is currently located.
In one envelope in the file, there are gaskets to rebuild the carburetor which were purchased in 1975! There are also many other various receipts and the Volkswagen Original Service Manual which will go to the lucky new owner.
When I purchased the car it needed some bodywork. I had the body entirely restored with steel being welded in to replace any rust on the car. As you can see from the pictures and video, it now looks great on the outside.
It has real glass in the convertible top and the top works great and doesn't appear to have any problems with it. The car has been maintained while I've owned it and it has been fun to own, but it rarely gets driven (only 3,000 miles in 5 years) so it is time for it to go to its next owner!
The vehicle starts and runs and looks great, but is being sold AS IS WHERE IS in Ashburn, Virginia 20147. Please see all pictures and the video before bidding. I think it could use a tune up, and obviously some work on the interior to make it perfect. You can pick it up in person, or have it shipped from the same location. You must arrange all shipping and pickup, and payment must be received in full and have cleared before delivery.
The car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

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.
VW Golf GTI wrung out by Chris Harris
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Enthusiasts like nothing more than to crucify modern interpretations of their favorite performance models for failing to live up to some imagined ethos. Even the Volkswagen GTI has suffered its fair share of slings and arrows for growing in size and curb weight. Chris Harris recently spent some time with the all-new MK VII GTI to find out if growing up means giving up on what makes the machine so special.
Judging by his comments, Harris certainly doesn't think so. Yes, the new GTI is considerably more comfortable than its predecessors, but that's hardly a bad thing. The multitude of driving modes actually seem to add depth to the car rather than simply try to force one tool to do many jobs, and Harris even finds the machine's electronic power steering tolerable. As a result, Harris goes so far as to call the Volkswagen GTI "one of the best cars to actually own." How's that for high praise? You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
