1964 Vw Karmann Ghia Convertible on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
Calif. car originally, here in Az. since. All bondo and paint removed, some damaged sheet metal replaced, no rust found, except small amount on rear floor pans(see photos). This is basically a low miles car amazingly, 78K, I believe to be orig. I worked for VW, as a mechanic, when this car was brand new, I've had many since, just love to work on them. The color is an old VW color, I do remember. Green with a new Haatz cloth top and matching headliner. I will send along paint left over for touch-up, and to paint rear licence plate light. Not sure of mileage on engine, but has good compression and runs strong, 1600cc and 12 volt for lighting. I do notice a few oil leaks, but not constant, usually a few drops after a drive. I believe the trans to be original and shifts well, could use axel boot on left side. Bumpers there, will need rechrome some day, but usable as is. Rear tires OK, but front will need replacing, spare included with jack & lug wrench. The interior is still orig. see photos, especially drivers seat that needs bottom doing. Door panels in pieces. With new interior this would be a great driver, Wipers still 6volt, so will need a voltage drop to use as is, or put a 12volt motor in. Jack pointrs solid, and usable. The master cyl. is new with new cups in all wheel cyl. Hand brake works. Original wiring still there and is usable as is. Still needs some fix -up, here and there, but a good investiment at this price. You can reach me by asking a question, and I will respond quickly. I do have a video on youtube of car running check it out URL http://youtu.be/JjsECFm73eg I'll try to down load this to this posting, but don't know if it will work. I have many more photos to send if you so desire, let me know. Thanks, Alex PS, any thing missing in video, like door trim, inside and outside is included, including rubber, orig floor mats etc, etc, just ask if in doubt

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Suzuki and VW finalize their divorce
Thu, Feb 11 2016The rocky divorce between Suzuki and Volkswagen is finally over after working its way through the International Court of Arbitration since 2011, according to the Japan Times. In the final settlement to end the companies' disputes, Suzuki agreed to pay VW an undisclosed amount for not living up to the agreement to use the German automaker's diesel engines. While they won't disclose the exact sum, Suzuki said in a statement that the money "will not have any significant impact" on its 2015 fiscal year results, which will end in March. The arbitration court took the biggest step to end this transcontinental partnership in August 2015 when the body ruled VW needed sell its 19.9-percent stake in Suzuki. However, the Japanese company wasn't entirely off the hook because VW was still allowed to sue for damages over the diesel engine issue. This latest decision finally clears up that dispute. Like most marriages, the union between VW and Suzuki began with stars in both parties' eyes. The Germans paid $2.8 billion to buy 19.9 percent of the Japanese company in December 2009. VW was supposed to get greater access to the auto market in India, and Suzuki hoped to capitalize on access to its partner's advanced technology. By 2011, rumors started percolating that things were contentious behind closed doors. VW allegedly tried to assert control over Suzuki's operations, and the Japanese company reportedly wasn't happy with its access to the German tech. Suzuki even bought diesel engines from Fiat, rather than VW. Later that year, company CEO Osamu Suzuki announced he would end the alliance, and they started working through arbitration. Notification Concerning Resolution of Arbitration by Settlement As Suzuki has reached a settlement regarding the arbitration that Suzuki filed with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce on 24 November 2011, Suzuki informs you of the following: 1. History from the Request for Arbitration to the Settlement As announced in the "Notification Concerning Arbitration Award" dated 30 August 2015, the Tribunal indicated that it would address the issue of alleged damages arising from Suzuki's breach of the agreement claimed by Volkswagen AG ("VW") in a further stage of the arbitration proceedings. Suzuki reached a settlement with VW in regard to such arbitration proceedings on 10 February 2016. Accordingly, the arbitration proceedings have been concluded. 2.
VW announces recall of 26,000 2014 models with 1.8T engines
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Volkswagen has followed up on a stop-sale order from earlier this month, announcing a voluntarily recall of 26,400 vehicles that are powered by the brand's 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The new mill replaced the despised 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the Jetta, Passat, Beetle and Beetle Convertible last year. Weirdly, though, of the 26,452 units covered in the recall, only 1,655 are customer vehicles.
According to VW, the affected models were built between February 1 and April 6 of this year, and feature bad O-ring seals in the transmission oil cooler. Apparently, the faulty O-rings could cause a fluid leak, as they won't seal between the oil cooler and transmission. VW is blaming a material change from a supplier for the problem.
There have been no fires, injuries, accidents or fatalities relating to this issue, which VW will be fixing free of charge. Customers will need to report to dealers to have the O-rings replaced.
