1972 Karman Ghia Convertible Strong And Handsome on 2040-cars
Staten Island, New York, United States
|
THIS CAR WAS MY WIFE'S 50TH BIRTHDAY PRESENT BUT AFTER 4 YEARS SHE WOULD RATHER HAVE OTHER THINGS BESIDE A VINTAGE CAR. IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME AND SHE HAS TRUELY ENJOYED IT BUT 4 KIDS AND ALL THAT WHICH GOES ALONG HAS KEPT HER FROM IT.
THE CAR WAS RESTORED BY A YOUNG AERONAUTICAL ENGINEER IN THE MIDWEST AND HE TWEAKED TH ENGINE ADDING A NICE AMOUNT OF CHROME AND PUT A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM AND PAINTED IT THE SAGE GREEN YOU SEE. THE CHROME IS PRETTY GOOD AND THE CAR RUNS FINE. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO RUST IN ANY OF THE USUAL PLACES. THE INTERIOR AND THE RUGS AND RADIO ARE ALL GOOD AND SO IS THE ROOF AND GLASS WINDOW THOUGH I BELIEVE THE ROOF HAS TWO SMALL TEARS ALONG THE BASE WHICH ARE INCONSEQUENTIAL. THE CAR IS REGULARLY SERVICED BY MY MECHANIC AND IS RARELY DRIVEN.MILEAGE ON ODOMETER SHOWS 19300 BUT I HAVE NO IDEA;I KNOW CAR RUNS WELL AND IS SOLID. THE CAR IS GOOD AS DAILY DRIVER OR EXCELLENT FOR RESTORATION AS IT IS PRETTY MUCH ORIGINAL WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR ME. |

Volkswagen reveals Beetle GSR, R-Line convertible and two special GTIs
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen has chosen to really expand its performance-tuned portfolio at this year's Chicago Auto Show, bringing along a couple of new Beetles destined for model year 2014, as well as a pair of freshened GTI packages that you'll be able to buy almost right away.
The first, and splashiest of the Chicago goodies on the VW stand has got to be the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR. Don't lose your temper, Acura Integra geeks; in this case, GSR stands for "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer," and harkens back to a sport-tuned classic Beetle from the 1970s. For the 2014 iteration, the GSR gets a 210-horsepower version of VW's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder. That engine is enough to push the Beetle to 60 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds, and up to a top speed of 130 mph.
Of course, you'll have long-since noticed the shockingly yellow-and-black livery before you stumble across the Turbo badge on the rear deck. The GSR gets 19-inch alloy wheels, 235-section tires and a tea-tray rear spoiler, but it's the paint and graphics package that will decide if this is your (lemony) cup of tea. Things don't get any subtler inside the car, either, as VW has carried the colorway through to the interior, as well. Only 3,500 Beetle GSRs will be produced, with just more than half of those going to the US - call your dealer today, Wiz Khalifa.
UAW angered over VW workers getting right to defend anti-union vote
Thu, 13 Mar 2014The United Auto Workers have called a decision by the National Labor Relations Board allowing anti-UAW employees at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga the right to defend voting down unionization at the plant "an outrage."
You'll recall that the union was defeated by a vote of 712 to 626 in a contentious February election. The UAW claims the outcome was unfairly swayed by pro-business, anti-union forces, including Senator Bob Corker and political advocate Grover Norquist.
This new decision by the NLRB essentially gives workers backed by the anti-UAW National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum a formal voice in the impending hearing on the UAW's appeal of the vote.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
