1964 Karmann Ghia Convertible

Up for auction is one of the best examples of a Karmann Ghia on the market today! This car is a jaw dropper! There are not many Ghias out there that are restored to the level that this car is. If you ever thought about investing your money in a Karmann Ghia, this one is as safe as an investment as they get. Demand for these cars is steadily growing, and one of this caliber is sure to appreciate in value.

This car still retains its originality and integrity, but has alot of mechanical upgrades and modern convenience that make it a joy to drive. It has a very vintage look and feel, yet drives are performs safely and comfortably.

This fantastic 64 convertible belongs to some good friends of mine. I am listing the car for them, so any questions should be directed to Bryan, at 314-422-5098. I don't normally list cars for other people or cars that I do not own, but I have been around this car since it was purchased and through its entire restoration. I am familiar with the car enough that I feel comfortable listing it.

It took years to find the right car to start with. Its hard to find an early Ghia convertible that hasn't been hit, molested, or have rust. This car started as an extremely nice, rust free, original, un-hit, survivor that was garaged its entire life. When you start with a good car, they are that much better in the end. This car was better than most any out there before the restoration.

This car was completely disassembled and done right! No corners were cut during this build. This was a 3 year restoration with no expense spared. Countless hours and a lots of money spent getting this car to where you see it today.

The paint and body were professionally done by a restoration expert and look incredible. The car was done using all Dupount material. It has been color sanded and buffed to a mirror finish. The car was completely stripped and repainted, including the jambs, engine compartment, trunk, etc. All the gaps and body lines look great. The doors open and close very nice. The windows go up and down and line up as they should. The fit and finish on the car is very nice. As stated before, this was a rust free car to start with so no rust repair was needed. All German metal!!! Just look at the pics of the nose and spare tire area. Never hit and never any rust!

All the bright work on the car has been restored and shines beautifully. The original bumpers were dissembled and re-plated. The mirrors, door handles, emblems, ect... have all been either replaced or re-plated. The aluminum parts were straightened and re-polished.

This car doesn't just look gorgeous, it performs too! It was built with function and practicality in mind. This car can be driven anywhere. All the kinks have been worked out and it is ready to be enjoyed. It starts, runs, drives, and stops just as it should. It needs nothing and is ready to bump the key and go. It has been upgraded to 12 volt, which allows for the modern stereo with Ipod hookup, phone charger, ect.

The motor is a professionally built 1641 that runs great. Everything is new and was done by a VW expert. The motor retains a stock look and appearance, but has a lot more power and drive-ability. Most of the parts on the motor such as the fan shroud, cylinder tins, air cleaner, etc were stripped and repainted. This is a very smooth running motor with plenty of power to cruise highway speeds.

The interior on the Ghia is also all new. The seats and door panels were refinished in a correct style tan vinyl. New German square weave carpet was added. The steering wheel and horn ring are new. All the trim inside the car was re-polished or replaced. The knobs and switched are new. The top is a new stay-fast canvas and operate as it should. Everything on the car works; speedometer, fuel gauge, horn, wipers, turn signals, headlights, taillights, dash lights, ect.

The car has a rare and valuable AM/FM Sapphire radio, that works! There is also a secondary stereo system that is hidden in the car that plays off your phone or Ipod. There are 4 speakers and an amplifier. It sounds nice and is plenty loud enough to here even on the highway with the top down. A cigarette lighter was added in the glove box to so you can charge your phone on a weekend road trip.

The smoothie wheels were refinished and painted to match the car. A new set of Coker wide whitewall tires were added along with a new set of chrome caps. Even the spare was painted to match.

This car was taken to a large national VW event with cars from all over the country, and didn't just win its class, it took Best of Show! It draws a crowd wherever it goes. If you don't like attention, this isn't the car for you.

Overall, this investment grade Ghia is sure to make its new owner proud! This is a car that you can drive, use, and enjoy as it appreciates in value. All the work is done and Its ready for its new owner. You could not duplicate this car for what it can be purchased for. There has been no expense spared on this one.

I have been selling on Ebay for 14 years. And have sold many classic cars and trucks with 100% positive feedback. I know what I am looking at and know how to accurately describe them. I have many happy buyers all around the world, and can provide references if needed. For more great classic cars available for purchase, visit www.MainMotorCo.com

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

The 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.

VW close to decision on selling Bugatti to Rimac

Sun, Feb 21 2021

FRANKFURT — Electric hypercar maker Rimac Automobili and Volkswagen's supercar brand Bugatti are a good technological fit, Porsche's CEO told German weekly Automobilwoche, fueling hopes that a deal between the two could happen soon. British automotive magazine Car last year reported that Volkswagen was on the verge of selling Bugatti to Rimac Automobili, citing sources. In exchange, Porsche, also owned by Volkswagen, would raise the 15.5% stake it owns in Rimac, founded by Croatian entrepreneur Mate Rimac, Car said. "At the moment there are intense deliberations on how Bugatti can be developed in the best possible way. Rimac could play a role here because the brands are a good technological fit," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said. "There are various scenarios with different structures. I believe that the issue will be decided by the group in the first half of the year," said Blume, who also sits on the management board of parent Volkswagen. Rimac has developed an electric supercar platform, which he supplies to other carmakers, including Pininfarina. Blume also confirmed higher savings targets for Porsche, saying the carmaker plans to support results by 10 billion euros ($12.1 billion) of cost cuts by 2025, up from 6 billion previously.

German judge 'inclined to dismiss' hedge fund lawsuit against Porsche

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Last year, around two dozen investors, including hedge funds, leveled a 1.4 billion euro ($1.95 billion at the time) lawsuit against Porsche in connection with the automaker's attempted takeover of Volkswagen in 2008. The Stuttgart Regional Court dismissed the case. Around 19 of those plaintiffs are heading back to court to appeal the ruling and still hope to get 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion). However, according to one German judge, the chances for success aren't any better this time around. "On balance it's our view that we consider the lawsuit, or the appeal, to be unpromising for several reasons," Gerhard Ruf, a judge in Stuttgart, said to Reuters. "We are inclined to dismiss the case." The court's ruling on the appeal will be announced on March 26. The investors' case hinges on Porsche's strategy surrounding the botched takeover. The sports car maker said that it wasn't trying to control VW, when in fact it was. These hedge funds had bet against Volkswagen stock, but the share price surged when Porsche's plan inevitably came to light. Investors have sued the sports car company multiple times since then in attempts to recoup billions of dollars. However, none of the lawsuits have been successful, whether attempted in the US or Germany. Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and and CFO Holger Haerter might still stand trial for the alleged stock manipulation, though.
