Incredible 1967 volkswagon Karmann Ghia, Corvette
yellow (2 stage), 2-Door Coupe!
Clean title! The vehicle is almost complete with
restoration and just needs your personal touch to
finish it off! Purchased over 10 years ago and
garage stored ever since!! Car has never seen
snow. Drive it away today and turn heads
everywhere you go as this is one incredible
looking vehicle that can be driven for personal
enjoyment or even completed to enter car shows.
Very rare and unique vehicle! Drives and sounds
amazing (must see!). Dash reads 38,013 but new
motor has less than 500 miles on it!
Recent work completed:
Exterior; Original Smoothie wheels in amazing
restored condition. Custom Porsche Head lights
Conversion make this vehicle really stand out. Car
was lowered about 1 1/2”. Bumper bar holes still
placed in front and rear.
Engine & Electrical; A very fast custom built
1985cc performance engine that sounds and runs
like a Porsche. Smooth 4 speed transmission.
Chrome Shrouds. Short shifter, (shifts like a
Porsche) EMPI exhaust. Complete tune up with
rebuilt carb. No leaks as everything was recently
checked. All lights work; brake light and signals.
Interior; 80% done. Brand new full car black
carpet kit and black door panels both from EMPI.
No locks. *Also have an extra fiberglass dashboard
that hasn't been cut yet! Kill switch in place,
but not hooked up.
Minor Damage;
Unfortunately when we were working on vehicle,
front rolled into another car in neutral but only
paint damage and cracked headlights (noticeable
only when you are up close). The body is straight
and no other damage from the unfortunate accident
while we were working on car. This was NOT a
moving accident on the road. There is some minor
paint touch up needed above the front hood and
below from where it didn't open before.
Just a couple minor Knicks here and there, reason
being because car has no true panels but nothing
that cant be taken care of with a little TLC. We
were waiting to finish off after all work was
completed.
Car was driven during repairs and runs excellent!
Even not being done all the way, it was hard to
drive one block without someone asking about the
car!

Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]
Tue, 31 Dec 2013Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.
2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed
Tue, Jan 13 2015There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements.

In partnership with the North American International Auto Show (www.naias.com) in Detroit, The One Club today unveiled the best automotive ads from around the world in five categories: broadcast TV, online video, interactive, experiential advertising, and print & outdoor. Winners will be presented on-stage at a special event during the NAIAS Press Preview on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at the Cobo Center in Detroit at 4:55 p.m. The event is sponsored by AOL's Autoblog.
Skoda Octavia vRS is just the thing for your pumped-up neighborhood
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Skoda, oh Skoda. You're just so cool. Maybe it's the fact that it's a brand that we don't get in these United States, but Skoda's rebadged Volkswagens, in particular the new Octavia vRS shown here, are just different enough from the hum-drum VWs on our shores that the Czech brand seems strangely desirable. Maybe we're just craving forbidden fruit.
This short, minute-long spot covers the new vRS in a world of excess, where strollers ride on 26-inch wheels, lawnmowers feature V8 engines and ice cream cones are the size of toddlers. As things often go in these ads, the Octavia vRS draws the eyes of passerby that are seemingly use to things far more ridiculous than a reasonably priced Czech sedan. In reality, the Octavia should be fairly familiar to American buyers. It uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-pot found in the Volkswagen GTI and Jetta GLI, with 217 horsepower, and sits on the same platform as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Take a look at the full spot, below.
