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. |

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
