1974 base karmann ghia, this car had a complete rebuild and paint from original orange to metalic green im 2001. the pan was removed and epoxy paint was sprayed in all the sections that posably might rust in the future, in 2009 the car had a small engine fire which was put out quickly with only small damage to paint and some wiring. only problem was water went into motor and nobody did anything about it for a years and it sat in a garage till 2010.
the motor was pulled, all new cylinders, heads, alternator, carb , fuel lines, fuel pump, exaust , clutch , distributor and painted with new gaskets as needed.
the car has ss brake lines, new master cylinder, all hydrolics has been replaced as needed . fuel system has new gas tank, sending unit, lines .
complete suspension overhaul with neoprene heavy duty sway bars front and back . all window and sealing gaskets are in new condition , interior better than fair considering age of car . chrome rims with new tires balanced with some sighs of whare on rims but shine up nicely.
body is 99 % void of rust, nose is perfect not a bondo bucket !
steering has all new parts , kyb gas schocks and drive/ handles beautifully.
have original paperwork for car, owners manual ect (what ever comes in glove box when you buy it )
we have been driving car and enjoying it , but cant see it sitting outside or cooking in my trailer...
this cars restoration was over 8k and rebuild to correct damage was around 3500$ not to include the tires that were installed just last week and oil change.
you wont find a more solid vw ghia , its has its small flaws for a 12 year old paint job, cosmetically still very nice daily driver or weekend collector classic .
i am selling for a friend but know the car well so i should be able to answer without any problems, simply enough she lost her job , home and has no place to keep her baby.

VW confirms new TDI for second half of 2014 in Golf, Jetta, Passat and Beetle
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Diesel lovers rejoice. Volkswagen is bringing the latest iteration of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine - dubbed the EA288 - to the 2015 model year Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle (2013 model pictured above) and Beetle Convertible, and the cars will be on sale in the second half of 2014.
While it shares its moniker with the old diesel, the new engine produces 150 horsepower, a 10-hp boost, and 236 pound-feet of torque. VW promises improved fuel economy as well, but it hasn't announced specifically what amount yet. The company claims that despite the same displacement, only the bore spacing is shared with the previous version. The mill includes new features like exhaust gas recirculation, an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold and low-friction camshaft bearings.
VW Group of America has had great success with diesels in the US recently. Vee-Dub and Audi sold 105,899 diesel-equipped models in 2013. It was the first time the group ever sold over 100,000 diesels in a year, and they accounted for 24 percent of sales. Scroll down to read the full press release about the announcement.
VW invests in QuantumScape for potentially fireproof, long-range EV batteries
Mon, Dec 8 2014VW might be getting ready to push its plug-in technology in a big way thanks to an investment in the battery startup QuantumScape. Key point: the solid-state battery is said to be fireproof and will offer tremendous range advantages. Details are not abundant yet, but according to Bloomberg, VW of America bought a five-percent stake in QuantumScape (and has an option to raise its holding). The tech could "more than triple" the EV range of VW, Porsche and Audi plug-in vehicles as soon as the middle of 2015, according to unnamed sources that Bloomberg talked to. Former Stanford University researchers started QuantumScape in 2010. The bare-bones QuantumScape website (there's nothing there other than some contact information) doesn't offer many hints about what's happening at the company, but GigaOM's Katie Fehrenbacher notes that QuantumScape is licensing tech from the "All Electron Battery" project at Stanford a few years ago. It certainly sounds amazing: [It's] a completely new class of electrical energy storage devices for electric vehicles that has the potential to provide ultra-high energy and power densities, while enabling extremely high cycle life. The All-Electron Battery stores energy by moving electrons, rather than ions, and uses electron/hole redox instead of capacitive polarization of a double-layer. ... If successful, this project will develop a completely new paradigm in energy storage for electrified vehicles that could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry.
