1974 Karmann Ghia 2+2 Street Rod 2 Door Coupe on 2040-cars
Washington, District Of Columbia, United States
|
You are looking at a 1974 Karmann Ghia 2+2. This car was built by a local pro years ago who took very good care of the car. It has the original 1600 engine which starts right up and runs great. It has a tight 5 speed manual transmission and good clutch, the car shifts well. The suspension was modified on the car back in it's racing days and has a really nice high stance that you can see in the pictures. The body is in good condition, minimal rust, but there is a dent in the front of the car (refer to pictures). It has front disk brakes and power steering, one of the front brake pads could use replacement but it stops well. The car is drivable right now and runs comfortably at highway speeds. The car was previously tagged as a street rod.
The interior of the car is in good condition (refer to pictures). There are a couple of small cracks in the dash. The exterior of the car has a high quality paint job but shows it's age. There are a few chips in the paint but it still looks great. It's a really fun car and would make a great driver or toy with minimal work. There is a video below of the car idling and driving posted below. Please contact me with any questions, thanks. 4500 OBO I have a video of the car doing a test drive and inspection, if you are interested contact me and I can send it to you. -Jim |

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.

Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
