You are looking at a 1967 VW Karmann Ghia Coupe. Purchased from a private seller in '98, this car was completely restored (refurbished anyway) in the early 00's with custom green paint with gold flecks, a new rebuilt engine and transmission and an all new interior.

Since then, the body has suffered extensive damage from two separate slow speed accidents that does not affect the ability of the car to drive or the trunk to close. The body does have a lot of bondo in the front, however the rear is mostly clean and bondo free, so it could be salvaged. There is a lot of rust in the rear floor (under the back seat) and around the rear window where it has leaked in the past.

Mechanically the engine no longer runs, as it's been sitting for a couple years and the engine appears to have seized, however the rest of the components are either new or in good shape (carb, distributer, coil, etc) and it comes with a never used spare starter and coil.

This car would make an excellent parts car as it has almost all the interior, trim and badges intact. All the wipers, stereo, and other electrical components work fine. As a project car, the body would most certainly need extensive work, so it would be best to go to someone who is experienced with that sort of thing.

I drove this car for quite a few years as my daily driver and it drives like a champ even at higher speeds. To get back to running condition (if you just wanted to drive it and not fix the body) all you'd need is a rebuilt engine and you'd be all set!

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional pictures!

Payment is required in full 3 days after the close of the auction. Buyer will need to make any shipping arrangements, or can pick it up from me locally.

10 best new car deals in late September 2021

Wed, Sep 29 2021

New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).

France may still ban diesel vehicle sales

Sun, Nov 27 2016

Legislators in France are not afraid to bring out the ban hammer when it comes to dirty vehicles. The city of Paris has implemented bans on old clunkers, and the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said in 2014 that diesel cars were a "mistake" and that the government would "progressively undo" the error. Now the national government has said it will not rule out banning sales of new diesel vehicles by Renault and Volkswagen if those companies don't answer more questions about their vehicles' emissions. Environment Minister Segolene Royal said last week that France wants more information about the VW diesel defeat device and Renault's engine software. "We will be asking the consumer fraud investigators and prosecutors to communicate any findings that will enable us to establish whether it's necessary to withdraw sales authorizations," Royal said. Royal has been making waves recently at the COP22 meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco and said that Donald Trump's environmental policies will be " absolutely catastrophic" and weaken the US' standing in the world. If the US doesn't want to lead on climate change efforts, she said, "China can take the place of the United States." She has also been involved in a controversy at home over votes that her staff made to allow higher emissions level from vehicles.

Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
