Very rare 1971 Karmann Ghia
Before I start describing this beautiful Karmann Ghia, let me just say that of all the cars I ever owned including a great 911 Porsche 4S, this Karmann Ghia has been the most fun drive I ever owned. Every time I take it out on the road, I get at least 5 people shouting "great car" or giving me thumbs up or just commenting on the car when I am parking it. It seems everyone have their own Karmann Ghia story, used to own one or knows someone who did. What I'm trying to say, this car turns heads and gets a lot of very cool attention. The car runs great and could become your daily drive. I used it about once a week when I go to play golf. It has a really good mpg mileage - I am always surprised how little gas this consumes. All the controls on the dashboard work except for the clock. Radio and CD work well. Engine runs great. Comes with a fire extinguisher. The car has minor rust in a few places, pretty much what you'd expect of a car that's over 40 years old. I have recently had a new layer of undercoat done to protect the car from rusting, also it has new breaks. The odometer stopped working, currently shows 31,368 miles. For some reason the "drive type" and "body type" category in the above description gets automatically populated with "U/K". I want to underline that this is a regular car with the steering wheel on the left side (please see pictures). I invite you to contact me with regards to any questions you may have about this auction. Also, if I missed any angle on the photos, please let me know and I will take additional pictures. Winning bidder has 24 hours to send $500 through Paypal and seven days to pay the balance - cash or cashier's check accepted. The car is based on Maui in Hawaii. The winning bidder will need to arrange their own shipping but I will help with delivering it to the port. The easiest way is to put it inside a container and ship to the Los Angeles or San Francisco area (usually around $1000). In case the winning bid exceeds $17,500 I will cover the shipping costs to a port in continental U.S. or Japan. This vehicle is sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied themselves as to the condition of the vehicle. Please be sure you have the funding ready when bidding. I have a clean title. I want to thank you for viewing my auction and wish you good luck bidding. I truly hope this car finds a great new home. In a few years, it will become a classic worth a lot more.... |

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring
Wed, 22 May 2013The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.
Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen'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.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
