1959 VW KARMANN GHIA LOW-LIGHT COUPE.


VW BIRTH CERTIFICATE CONFIRMS THAT THIS IS AN ORIGINAL #'S MATCHING FRAME/PAN, BODY, AND ENGINE AS WELL AS THE ORIGIANL L-354 CARDINAL RED COLOR. 

THIS GHIA UNDER WENT A FULL BODY, PAINT, INTERIOR AND MECHANICAL RESTORATION APPROX. 2 YEARS AGO BY A VW RESTORATION SPECIALIST IN MICHIGAN.   ALTHOUGH NOT A 100 POINT PERFECT CONCOURS RESTORATION, THE FINISHED OVERALL PRODUCT RESULTED TO BE EXCELLENT.  EVERYTHING FROM BODY/PAINT, CHROME, TRIM, WHEELS/ TIRES, INTERIOR SEATS, CARPET, HEADLINER,  ENGINE, SHOCKS, GAS TANK, AND MUCH MORE WAS RESTORED BACK TO AS CLOSE TO ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS AS POSSIBLE USING THE BEST PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS AVAILABLE TO THE MARKET PLACE. 

SOME ADDITIONAL SPECIAL DETAILS ABOUT THIS GHIA INCLUDE: 

* ORIGINAL FLOOR PANS IN AMAZING SOLID/ PRESERVED CONDITION.

* ORIGINAL BLAUPUNKT RADIO.

* ORIGINAL GLOVE BOX DOOR WITH FUEL AND TIRE PSI SPECS LABEL.

* ORIGINAL  FRONT BODY NOSE WITH NO SIGNS OF PREVIOUS ACCIDENT.

* ORIGINAL 6 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

* ORIGINAL SEKURIT GLASS (EXCEPT THE WINDSHIELD).

* LATER 1959 PRODUCTION (JUNE).

* ALL ORIGINAL NUMBERS MATCHING BODY, PAN, AND ENGINE.

* ORIGINAL L-354 CARDINAL RED COLOR PAINT.

* ORIGINAL BODY VIN PLATE AND ORIGINAL VIN STAMPING ON FRAME.


THIS GHIA HAS BEEN DRIVEN ONLY ABOUT 50 MILES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS SINCE THE RESTORATION WAS COMPLETED.  IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT IN A PRIVATE COLLECTION.  A NEW BATTERY AND FRESH GASOLINE WERE JUST ADDED TODAY WITH THE ENGINE FIRING RIGHT UP AND RUNNING FLAWLESSLY!  A FULL UPDATED MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY CHECK SHOULD BE PERFORMED BEFORE DRIVING REGULARLY DUE TO THE AGE AND AMOUNT OF SITTING TIME OF THIS VEHICLE.  ALSO NOTICED TODAY BY OUR DETAILER WAS THAT THERE ARE A FEW AREA'S WHERE THE NEW PAINT HAS DEVELOPED WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN AIR POCKET UNDER THE PAINT FINISH; HOWEVER, THE PAINT BASE AND CLEAR COAT LOOK NORMAL WITH GREAT SHINE.

WITH A SIMILAR LOW-LIGHT KARMANN GHIA COUPE HAVING JUST SOLD THIS PAST SUMMER AT AUCTION FOR CLOSE TO $45K,  IT'S CLEAR THAT THESE RARE VW'S ARE ON A UP HILL CLIMB OF DESIRABILITY AND APPRECIATATION.  THIS CAR'S UN- MOLESTED HISTORY AND ORIGINALITY MAKE IT A SMART INVESTMENT WITH LOT'S OF SMILES AND FUN TO COME :-) !!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT PAULO AT (301) 370-6866 WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR TO SCHEDULE A VISIT WHICH IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED WITH CLASSIC RESTORED CARS.  OF COURSE DUE TO IT'S AGE, THE ODOMETER READING ISN'T GUARANTEED TO BE ACCURATE.  THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AS-IS/ WHERE-IS WITH NO WRITTEN NOR EXPRESSED WARRANTY.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.

Porsche 911 and Nissan 350Z get smoked by unlikely hero

Mon, Jun 1 2015

So a Nissan 350Z Procharger and a current Porsche 911 GT3 drive onto the Autobahn together - stop me if you've heard this one before - and they decide to race. We're not sure how much power the Z is packing, but the stock model topped out at 306 horsepower on the last year of its run in 2009. And if that's a stock GT3 then it will be rocking something like 475 horsepower. So the Z and the GT3 give it a racing go, and just as one of them starts to pull away they're both overtaken by one of the most unlikely dark horses you could imagine. It's a really short video and we won't spoil the surprise, so check it out above.
