Beautiful  1973 Karmann Ghia Coupe

I purchased the Karmann Ghia in  2005 from a gentlemen here in San Diego . He bought the car in 1997  and stared to restore it but lost interest in it.

 The car was bought from the VW dealer in West Hollywood .

 When I bought the car was green and repainted Red Scarlet

 The car has the original 1600cc dual port engine with electronic ignition and alternator  .

 The previous owner had  the rear floor pan replaced .

I coated the floor with POR 15 to prevent from rust and applied sound deadening on  the floor ,the front wall and the engine wall . 

The car runs very strong and is very dependable .

It's my daily driver .

 Always garaged and never driven in the rain.

 No rust 

 Starts  on the first kick and runs great!  

Everything works except clock & windshield washers

 Heater works well.

Clear California Title

California Tag good until Jan. 2015

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
