See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This is a 1962. Buyer must have a thorough understanding of what 51 years of being on this planet can do to metal.There are small blemishes, scratches all over the body. There are bits of rust along the bottom of the car. The front passenger quarter panel has ding by front light (see pics), small ding above right front fender, rust in front of left wheel well on outside of body, both back floor pans will eventually need to be replaced. The REAR driver's side floor pan currently has a piece of metal screwed to the floor for durability. The cigarette lighter and the over-head interior light is not working. The overall interior condition is fair and clean. The head liner has a few small tears. I would recommend that all of the weather stripping on the car be replaced as it is deteriorating due to the age of the car. Car glass is in good shape-one small knick on the windshield. Driver’s side door hinge is a bit saggy. Passenger door side trim is pieced together."

Rare 1962 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia for sale.  She is VERY mechanically sound.  She runs like a champ and fires up every morning as I have been using her as a daily driver.  If you become the new owner of this Ghia, be ready for people to stop you numerous times a day to ask you about her and if they may take pictures. Please click on the video below to TRULY understand the enjoyment and nostalgia of this car!




Since I purchased the car I have invested over $7000 in parts and labor. (See copy of invoices)  All that is left now is to make her your own by re-doing the interior and paint.  All she needs now is a cosmetic work.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.

Get ready to Camino-ize your fourth-generation VW Jetta with this kit

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in the US, whether they were from Japanese brands like Datsun or Toyota, the truly weird Subaru Brat or even from Europe with the Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf. These days that market has completely disappeared, but if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, there's a company out there bringing the Caddy back as a kit for the Jetta.
Mark Smith knows a thing about building a vehicle at home. He has over two decades in the DIY-car business as a co-founder of Local Motors and the company that became Factory Five Racing. His latest venture is Smyth Performance and already offers a mid-engine, VW-based kit called the G3F. His new product, though, started as a fluke. "I just wanted a shop truck," said Smith to Autoblog. He already had a Ford F-450 but found that he was driving around with the bed empty most of the time. The result was a pickup truck based on the fourth-generation Jetta that he dubbed the Ute.
The kit retails for $3,500 and ships in three, big boxes, and it's designed to be built and painted in a weekend. Buyers get fiberglass exterior panels, a fiberglass rear window surround, sliding rear window, an aluminum reinforced bed with a tubular steel subframe, taillights, a fully functional steel tailgate, and other parts. In the end, you get a vehicle with a six-foot bed and a payload of around 700-750 pounds. The Ute maintains all of the factory suspension, fuel tank and emissions equipment and requires just a few cuts in the body to complete. "We did a modern Caddy," admits Smith.
