Ready to roll...Hop in and start driving and having fun right away at a very affordable price...This is the perfect car for a father son project, or someone who's always wanted a Ghia, but didn't want to spend the big bucks on a fully restored one. This is a very solid, mostly rust free Ghia, that runs and drives like a champ. The lucky new owner, can start driving and enjoying it right away just the way it is. At some point, restoring it to their individual taste and style, knowing what they're working with from the very beginning. The person I purchased this Ghia from had owned it for the last 14 years. During that time he slowly worked on the mechanics of the car and collected tons of extra parts to use as he went along. It was always garage kept and well maintained. Here's a partial list of the things he did, in his words: Original fuel tank etched and lined New fuel filler hose New polyurethane steering bushing KYB shocks Original Hella headlight rings Grant 14' steering wheel Empi T-Handle shifter New pedal cluster with roller pedal accelerator New facet solid state electronic fuel pump New urethane transaxle mounts front and rear All parts have basically zero miles on them... Since I've owned the car, I did a major tune-up on the 1600 Dual Port engine including Plugs, Points, Condenser. Along with adjusting the valves and changing the oil...I also adjusted the clutch cable and brakes with the idea of making it a road worthy, drivable car. Now it's up to the next person to take it to what ever level they desire... If you have any more questions feel free to call me anytime @720-270-5637. You can also learn more about my world by clicking the "Me" link next to my feedback and going to my homemade Website. I am willing to negotiate on my "Buy It Now price" but will only do it through E-Bay, in person, or over the phone.(not through e-mails) These Ghias are getting harder harder to find as they get more and more expensive. Yes, this needs some cosmetic love and attention, but mechanically is in excellent condition. I'm including all the spare parts that you see in the pictures, along with the bumpers. Thank-you for checking out my auction and good luck bidding... Peace, Love, and Old VW's...Joey |

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
