1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Custom on 2040-cars
Eureka Springs, Arkansas, United States
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. |

VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show
Mon, Nov 17 2014Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? – and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?
Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
