For sale is my 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia custom convertible. It was purchased as a project that never got quite finished. Unfortunately, I have to sell due to relocation. It’s had a lot of work done on it, both inside and out making it a one-of-a-kind find. There’s barely been a bolt that hasn’t been touched on this and it’s been a labor of love for a while. Body has been professionally stripped and painted in dark eggplant. The interior inside has been POR15’d but is relatively untrimmed.

1914cc racing engine professionally assembled with dual weber carbs and tuned Unilite distributor. I have installed a classic Porsche shifter and 5-speed transmission with new cvs and axles. 75w 12v alternator installed for remote door poppers, power windows and other accessories. The top was chopped, doors and exterior shaved. It sits low and handles like a speedster.

It’s currently been in storage since I stopped working on it a few years ago (new job) and has been waiting to be delivered to someone that can give it the attention it needs. However, it requires some work to get 100%. Most of the work is cosmetic or to undo the few years of inattention - I really wanted to get it to the point of being driven so before I moved it started and ran like a champ. I have tried to represent this vehicle to the best of my ability, but prospective bidders are encouraged to contact me. I have prepared a detailed spec sheet explaining the car’s condition, components and history, and can send you a copy via Email. I will be happy to answer any questions and send more pictures to interested parties. I'm not responsible for any unexpected perceptions of the car due to a buyer not asking questions about its condition.

The winning bidder should contact me within 24 hours after the close of the auction to finalize the details of the transaction. A $1,000 non-refundable Paypal deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction's close. This deposit reserves the vehicle and removes it from the market. If winning bidder does not contact me and submit deposit, vehicle may be made available to the next highest bidder. Full payment to be arranged within 7 days after auction via bank wire, certified cashier's check, or cash in person. The car can be picked up in Eureka Springs AR. Details of pickup should be finalized within 7 days from auction end. This includes a guaranteed date of pickup if using a shipping company. Failure to pickup from this date will result in a daily holding fee of $20/day. Buyer is responsible for taxes and shipping expenses resulting from the sale.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.

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.
