This is an Original and Classic 1966 Convertible VW Karmann Ghia with a 1600cc engine. If you are looking for a classic convertible Karmann Ghia you will be challenged to find a nicer car than this one. The car looks, runs, and drives great. When on the road this Jet Black Ghia is a real head turner. The vehicle itself is solid and has never been in any kind of car accident. The body has all of its original metal and the nose area which is susceptible to experiencing damage is intact, a virgin car. Although this beautiful car was made in Germany its true home has been Southern California for the past 48 years. Maybe not born in SoCal, but certainly raised here. In truth the car has spent about the previous 10 years covered up in a garage until the restoration was started. The exterior as well as interior restoration was completed about five years ago, but the car went right back into the garage where it sat and only exercised once a month to keep all of the moving parts functioning correctly. The vehicle itself is fully converted to a 12 volt system. It has a super strong 1600cc engine with a single dual port carb that is ready to go and go fast. Basically what you see in the photographs is what you will receive. Unfortunately the photographs cannot capture the full beauty of the car, but I guarantee that if you like the pictures than you will love the car.

Facts and issues that must be addressed; As I previously mentioned the car is in wonderful working condition and I am confident that you will love your purchase, but in all fairness to the buyer I must mention all defects that I have found. Although the pan is in great shape it does have a small hole about the size of a .50cent piece behind the driver’s seat. The fix is very simple but I must disclose this fact. As with most VW engines there is a small oil leak around the oil pan area. The car has very minor scratches that are not visible under normal inspection, but if you look hard enough you will find them (about 3). The front header wooden bow of the convertible top was replaced due to damage. Unfortunately I decided to use graphite (more resistant to water damage) and not wood, which I regret. I believe that the wooden bow would have given me a better fit. Although the head lights, break lights, and signals operate normally the wire harness should be updated.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
