1966 Convertable Volkswager Karmann Ghia 1600cc on 2040-cars
Mission Hills, California, United States
This is an Original and Classic 1966 Convertible VW Karmann Ghia with a 1600cc engine. If you are looking for a classic convertible Karmann Ghia you will be challenged to find a nicer car than this one. The car looks, runs, and drives great. When on the road this Jet Black Ghia is a real head turner. The vehicle itself is solid and has never been in any kind of car accident. The body has all of its original metal and the nose area which is susceptible to experiencing damage is intact, a virgin car. Although this beautiful car was made in Germany its true home has been Southern California for the past 48 years. Maybe not born in SoCal, but certainly raised here. In truth the car has spent about the previous 10 years covered up in a garage until the restoration was started. The exterior as well as interior restoration was completed about five years ago, but the car went right back into the garage where it sat and only exercised once a month to keep all of the moving parts functioning correctly. The vehicle itself is fully converted to a 12 volt system. It has a super strong 1600cc engine with a single dual port carb that is ready to go and go fast. Basically what you see in the photographs is what you will receive. Unfortunately the photographs cannot capture the full beauty of the car, but I guarantee that if you like the pictures than you will love the car. Facts and issues that must be addressed; As I previously mentioned the car is in
wonderful working condition and I am confident that you will love your
purchase, but in all fairness to the buyer I must mention all defects that I have
found. Although the pan is in great shape it does have a small hole about the
size of a .50cent piece behind the driver’s seat. The fix is very simple but I
must disclose this fact. As with most VW engines there is a small oil leak around
the oil pan area. The car has very minor scratches that are not visible under
normal inspection, but if you look hard enough you will find them (about 3).
The front header wooden bow of the convertible top was replaced due to damage. Unfortunately I decided to use graphite (more
resistant to water damage) and not wood, which I regret. I believe that the
wooden bow would have given me a better fit. Although the head lights, break
lights, and signals operate normally the wire harness should be updated. |

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says
Wed, Apr 15 2015You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.
VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
Volkswagen sketches Geneva-bound concept
Wed, Feb 25 2015Volkswagen has released a pair of sketches that give us our first official glimpse at the company's new concept car, set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Details are slim – the car doesn't even have a name yet – but we do have some facts about VW's swoopy new showcar. First off, it's a sedan – well, "four-door coupe" – but is said to have a hatchback configuration. Autoblog has also learned that the car will be powered by a hybrid powertrain, using a TSI gasoline engine paired with two electric motors, and uses an all-wheel-drive configuration that's likely similar to that in the recently unveiled Cross Coupe GTE concept. Volkswagen says this showcar uses a new, progressive design language for the brand. And while it sort of looks like a dead ringer for a new CC, we're told this concept is positioned above that model. For now, that's all we know, but we expect a host of other details to be released closer to the car's official debut in Geneva next week. Stay tuned.
