1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible

Here is an amazing 1969 Karman Ghia convertible, mostly restored. I became ill and wasn’t able to finish it the way I wanted to. It has to go, but I built it to drive and it grieves me to just see it standing in my garage. I have only driven it around the block It’s pretty neat with the top down….a real head turner.

Because of an oil leak I only have a few hours on the motor. I replaced the oil cooler with the bigger cooler, and the new bigger fan for cooling. Also changed over from generator to alternator. I believe it is the oil cooler gasket that is leaking, but I can no longer get down and work on it anymore. It has new cylinders pistons and rings, new dual port heads and new dual crabs.

The body of the car is real nice. I cut out all rust, replaced rear quarters, rockers and welded and used body solder to fill . Painted Hot Rod Red. I replaced the front end with new ball joints, torsion bars and steering gear, steering damper and tie rod ends. It has four new tires and wheels. I also have the original rims and cap. The car also comes with a lot of new parts, such as body seals that I haven’t been able to install. The floor pan is in good shape. I also replaced the gas tank and fuel line.

I had to move from PA. to AZ so the car has some slight road rash form the move, but still looks great. It’s been three years since I painted it and no rust has popped out through the paint.

I also have a list of new and original parts that go with the car including the original radio and a new am-fm cassette. In place of the clock, I have installed a tachometer, but also have the original clock if you wish to put it back. I also have the front and rear bumpers and overrides for rechrome if you wish. I also installed a third brake light in the rear deck to help make the care more visible to the blind. After all this work I didn’t want anyone to run into it. But I kept the original license plate light and holder if you want to put it back.

The speedo shows 23143, but the car has hardly been driven since rebuilt. Only a few hours.

I have over $15,000 in the car and I’m only asking $10,000 or best offer! Serious buyers only, no low ball offers will be considered.

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program

Tue, 04 Oct 2011

You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
