Up for auction is this VERY ORIGINAL 1973 Karmann Ghia.  This is the second to last year that these vehicles were produced.  This vehicle has always been in Southern California from day one and has been with this current owner for the past 20+ years.  She is completely original and has been painted only once since new.  She belonged to an older lady who is unfortunately now unable to drive her anymore.  She was always serviced by the same mechanic for the past 15+ years.  The lady owned multiple Karmann Ghia but this was her beloved daily driver.

     There are several pictures of this vehicle shown in this ad, please take your time and inspect all of them carefully.  If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask us directly.  We will gladly accept any request for a personal inspection of this Ghia.  She has been sitting in this state for the past few years but it has been kept current with the registration.  Below is a link to many pics of this Ghia

73 Karmann Ghia


The engine runs smooth as depicted by the video within this ad and it’s not tired or in need of a rebuilt.  She could use a tune up and some minor refreshing.  The vehicle does not smoke, or produce any odors that would indicated this vehicle needs extensive mechanical attention.  

The transmission, a 4 speed that is similar to that of the beetle, shifts perfectly with no issues.  The vehicle drives smoothly and has Centerline wheels and over 75% tread left on the tires. 

The interior definitely needs refreshing, but all components of the interior are there and complete.  With just an interior refresh, this vehicle could be a BEAUTIFUL Ghia that will turn heads and also a functional daily driver that will keep appreciating day after day.

This vehicle is being offered by an independent Automobile representative for the current owner.  California Sales tax and registration fees will apply to the winning bidder if he/she reside within the state of California.  She is being offered in her "AS IS, WHERE IS" condition with NO WARRANTIES IMPLIED or STATED. We encourage you to stop by and inspect this vehicle first hand prior to bidding.  ALL SALES ARE FINAL,  We do not offer returns so PLEASE do your due diligence properly and ask any and all questions prior to the auction end or feel free to come by or request to have it inspected.  If you bid and win, we will hold you responsible for completing the transaction.  If the transaction is not completed within 5 business days, we reserve the right to relist the vehicle, or send a second chance offer to the next highest bidder.  All Feedback will be left automatically after the winning bidder posts his/her feedback.   If you are the winning bidder, we require a $500 nonrefundable deposit within 48 hours.

The Frankfurt Motor Show is Volkswagen's home affair. As a result, the whole of the automaker group makes a big splash, even before the show doors open. We'll be live from the Frankfurt floor starting early tomorrow morning, but tonight we're posted up in the stands at the always-entertaining Volkswagen Group Night. To give you a taste of what it's like to be there, we're going to be shooting some man-on-the-scenes video as the night progresses. Below you'll find videos of all the best that VW Group brands – Audi, Lamborghini, VW, the lot – have to offer, as quick as we can upload them. So, enjoy the Short Cut Videos you see here. And stay tuned as we add more to the tally, below.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The 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.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
