Diesel Rabbit!1.6l-2door-straight Body-prime For Biodiesel/svo Conversion-45 Mpg on 2040-cars

Year:1981 Mileage:133000
Location:

 I have driven this car less than 200 miles, decided it is not suited for the climate here (35 bellow zero 2 weeks ago). I figured 42 MPG for the trips I took. I have heard of people getting 50 with tuning.  Body is pretty clean, a couple small dents and a little rust. Paint is peeling on top and hood. Interior is in poor shape, dirty and worn. Passenger wing window hardware is failing, but is all there, just needs glued. Started and ran great in warm weather, very little smoke. Recently rebuilt injector pump with new injectors (according to previous owner).

This car would be a great candidate for a biodiesel or SVO conversion. It is a lot of fun to drive, handles like a go-cart. If I had a heated garage I would not be getting rid of it, just do not want to deal with the cold morning starts.

Sold as is, where is.
I parked this car back in October and have not touched it since. Ran great then, but I suspect it might take a little work to start it now (jumpstart and plug in the block heater and it should go fine). I am happy to help you get it started or to help you load it. I would consider delivering it as well, contact me for details.

Winning bidder to pay $200 via PayPal within 4 days (non-refundable deposit), remainder in cash when you get the title/car. Title is clear and I will have it signed and notorized by the time it sells.

Happy 60th to the VW Karmann Ghia

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Volkswagen's product portfolio may be as extensive these days as any other carmaker in the business. But if you still think of the original Beetle as synonymous with the brand, that's probably because a) you're old and b) the Beetle was the company's only product until the mid-50s.
Sixty years ago Wilhelm Karmann (founder of the eponymous coachbuilder) was in Paris for the auto salon and met up with Luigi Segre and his team from Carrozzeria Ghia who showed him what was essentially a "Beetle in a sports coat." A month later they showed it to Volkswagen chief Heinrich Nordhoff who, setting aside his conservative tastes, approved it for production. And so the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was born, giving the German marque a second product line. It still used Beetle mechanicals and was built at the same Karmann factory in Onsabrück that was already assembling the Beetle Cabriolet.
It took another couple of years to put the design into production, but from 1955 to 1974, Volkswagen and Karmann built 362,601 coupes and 80,881 of the subsequent convertible that arrived in 1957. Today the Onsabrück factory is part of the VW Group, handling production of the Golf Cabriolet, XL1 and Porsche Boxster and Cayman, and with that original Karmann Ghia prototype as part of its factory collection.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
