1968 Volkswagen VW Karmann Ghia Convertible (Vert) May 2004 Hot VWs Cover Car http://www.hotvws.com/backIssues3.php?bID=438 Stunning, head turning, unique, 60s car. Car has REAL Porsche Fuchs wheels with cookie cutters on the front. 1904 High Performance Engine, with Dual Carburetors, Weber 44 IDFs. (The car previously had 51 IDAs on it). Hydraulic clutch. Over 80 hours of custom porting and head machine work. Car has a low race car "growl" when you drive it. Aluminum high performance exhaust (1 5/8") Has brand new gray top, top boot, and headliner. Take an opportunity to own a real classic car. Downright awesome. Runs great, with all electrical working. Has grant racing steering wheel and JVC stereo system (but no speakers in the car). Custom colored upholstery in red, orange, and gray. Gene Berg shifter. A great opportunity to own an awesome car. Great car to cruise in (Hot August Nights or Bugorama) or go out and play with the rice burners. Make those VW bug, thing, beetle, and van drivers gawk at you. Condition Car is somewhere between a 9.5 and 9.6 out of 10. Car was a full frame off restoration (at over $60,000) as documented in the May 2004, hot VWs article. The attached pictures document the condition. Obviously, for a 1968 car, this is an astounding specimen. It is great to feel the wind in your hair and to get the looks like you are driving a Ferrari. Paint is popping red and makes the car look breathtaking. Background I inherited a '67 Karmann Ghia when I got married. The car was "rough" with rusted pans and an engine that ran poorly. As a result, I moved 7 times and the car never ran. It became the collection point for our Christmas decorations and was just the "junker" in the garage. After cleaning out the mouse nest out of the car, I was put at the crossroads of fixing the car or junking it. While looking at my options (and just attending Hot August Nights), I was able to find this restored 1968 car. After a soccer game with the kids in 2011, I had the valet bring around this beauty to give to my wife. After the joy died down, she reminded me that I had to still restore the 1967 junker anyway. With it being 2014, I have two more teenage drivers and two more cars, and a really tough Homeowners Association that doesn't allow me to park on the street. Accordingly, I have to sell this awesome car. The previous owner, used to drag race this car. The car didn't run very well in Reno and I invested $1500 and put more streetable IDF carburetor set up on it beyond the original 51 IDAs. However, the engine would take the 51 IDAs. The car has a tach and a wide footprint in the back. I had my VW mechanic raise the car, given that it was too low previously. The stiff hydraulic clutch is still there and is a reminder that this is not a normal VW. I have another ghia (as mentioned) that has a 2276 that dyno-ed out at 155 HP and this car is much faster than that one. I have driven this car very little (less than 100 miles) since I owned it. I have clean title. It is ready to go for the season. My biggest reservation about this car is having someone steal it. I love this car, and you will too. Will throw in some extra copies of the May 2004 Hot VWs magazine for you. I appreciate that buying some things on ebay is tough. I have fully disclosed all I know about the car. Please no crazy low offers and no flakes. Don't bid unless you plan on buying. I will coordinate with your shipper. If you decide to buy it now, I will cover US domestic shipping to your door.

VW previews retouched 2014 Touareg for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Volkswagen is in New York this week showing off its new Jetta and Golf TDI SportWagen concept. But in less than a week, the German automaker will be off to China for the Beijing Motor Show, where it will showcase the revised Touareg you see here.
A subtle update on the Touareg that's been on the market in its current form for four years now, the facelifted model features reworked styling front and rear, an updated interior and a host of new technologies to keep it current in the highly competitive SUV market. Among those new features are larger bi-xenon headlights, coasting function, Google Maps integration and a post-collision braking system designed to prevent a second crash.
VW will offer the new Touareg with a variety of engines around the world, but in North America it'll carry over the same six-cylinder powertrain options as the outgoing model: a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 240 hp (though torque isn't listed, we'd expect around 406 pound-feet, same as last year) and a hybrid that marries a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 to an electric motor that combine to deliver 380 hp.
