1971 VW KARMANN GHIA NO RESERVE AUCTION!!! Up for your bidding consideration is this 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia in the red on black color combination. The engine is original and is the 1600 air cooled VW motor that it is mated to a 4 speed transmission. The engine has just had a top end complete rebuild including new rings, rod bearings, main bearings, new cam bearings, cam & lifters, new oil pump and it runs great! The engine restoration was performed by a former James Motors of Hot Springs Volkswagen mechanic from the 1970's. His love affair for VW has continued and this is how he spends his time in retirement. The car brakes well and drives nicely. The tires are old and for spirited driving will need to be replaced. The spare tire is brand new. The exterior is very dated and needs a new paint job. Originally a green car, it has an Earl Scheib type paint job from the 1970's It appears to be a very solid body free of problematic rust so the foundation is there for a quality paint job. Of course not everybody wants perfection and if driving a car from the Nixon/McGovern era without a restoration is your thing...then this little Ghia is good to go! The engine cover lid does not securely fasten and if you do opt for the paint job then this will have to be repaired as well. The interior is like the exterior... for perfection it will need to be completely restored. The pictures depict the 43 year old cabin well so the restoration will depend upon its new owner. This is a great car to restore or to drive, the choice is yours. The glass, the wheels, and the VW hub caps are fair to very good. The rear bumpers are quite nice and the front bumpers need some work. The side moldings are missing. The Italian design of the Karmann Ghia was the creation of Luigi Segre of Carrozzeria Ghia. The bodies were handbuilt by Karmann. The original owners manual and Volkswagen maintenance records are included in the sale. This little Ghia was originally sold on June 28, 1971 by Warden Volkswagen of Little Rock, AR to Fred Ball. Mr. Ball faithfully recorded his service at Warden up to 53521 miles. It was probably at this time that he parted ways with the VW. To restore/collect or to drive as-is this is a great opportunity to buy a vintage air cooled Karmann Ghia with this no reserve auction in place. Please e-mail me with any questions on the Ghia and I will quickly respond. Also a pre-purchase inspection is available most anytime... just e-mail for an appointment.

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
Audi CEO's Dieselgate arrest threatens fragile truce among VW stakeholders
Tue, Jun 19 2018FRANKFURT — The arrest and detention of Audi's chief executive forces Volkswagen Group's competing stakeholders to renegotiate the delicate balance of power that has helped keep Audi CEO Rupert Stadler in office. Volkswagen's directors are discussing how to run Audi, its most profitable division, following the arrest of the brand's long-time boss on Monday as part of Germany's investigations into the carmaker's emissions cheating scandal. The supervisory board of Audi, meanwhile, has suspended Stadler and appointed Dutchman Bram Schot as an interim replacement, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Schot joined the Volkswagen Group in 2011 after having worked as president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Italia. He has been Audi's board member for sales and marketing since last September. The discussions risk reigniting tensions among VW's controlling Piech and Porsche families, its powerful labor representatives and its home region of Lower Saxony. VW has insisted the development of illegal software, also known as "defeat devices," installed in millions of cars was the work of low-level employees, and that no management board members were involved. U.S. prosecutors have challenged this by indicting VW's former chief executive Martin Winterkorn. Stadler's arrest raises further questions. Audi and VW said on Monday that Stadler was presumed innocent unless proved otherwise. Munich prosecutors detained Stadler to prevent him from obstructing a probe into Audi's emissions cheating, they said on Monday. Stadler is being investigated for suspected fraud and false advertising. Here are the main factors deciding the fate of Audi. Background: Audi's role in Dieselgate Volkswagen Group was plunged into crisis in 2015 after U.S. regulators found Europe's biggest carmaker had equipped cars with software to cheat emissions tests on diesel engines. The technique of using software to detect a pollution test procedure, and to increase the effectiveness of emissions filters to mask pollution levels only during tests, was first developed at Audi. "In designing the defeat device, VW engineers borrowed the original concept of the dual-mode, emissions cycle-beating software from Audi," VW said in its plea agreement with U.S. authorities in January 2017, in which the company agreed to pay a $4.3 billion fine to reach a settlement with U.S. regulators.
VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
