1967 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe on 2040-cars
Napa, California, United States
|
You are looking at a 1967 VW Karmann Ghia Coupe. Purchased from a private seller in '98, this car was completely restored (refurbished anyway) in the early 00's with custom green paint with gold flecks, a new rebuilt engine and transmission and an all new interior.
Since then, the body has suffered extensive damage from two separate slow speed accidents that does not affect the ability of the car to drive or the trunk to close. The body does have a lot of bondo in the front, however the rear is mostly clean and bondo free, so it could be salvaged. There is a lot of rust in the rear floor (under the back seat) and around the rear window where it has leaked in the past. Mechanically the engine no longer runs, as it's been sitting for a couple years and the engine appears to have seized, however the rest of the components are either new or in good shape (carb, distributer, coil, etc) and it comes with a never used spare starter and coil. This car would make an excellent parts car as it has almost all the interior, trim and badges intact. All the wipers, stereo, and other electrical components work fine. As a project car, the body would most certainly need extensive work, so it would be best to go to someone who is experienced with that sort of thing. I drove this car for quite a few years as my daily driver and it drives like a champ even at higher speeds. To get back to running condition (if you just wanted to drive it and not fix the body) all you'd need is a rebuilt engine and you'd be all set! Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional pictures! Payment is required in full 3 days after the close of the auction. Buyer will need to make any shipping arrangements, or can pick it up from me locally. |

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
VW will need to recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Volkswagen Group's diesel emissions scandal continues to spread, and now the automaker must recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India because of too much pollution, according to Bloomberg. The campaign covers models from several of the group's brands including VW, Audi, and Skoda. The Automotive Research Association of India first discovered the emissions irregularities after conducting its own real world and lab tests, and the Indian government then commanded VW to explain what was happening. The country's regulators will allow the automaker to set the recall schedule for the repairs, according to a government official who spoke to Bloomberg, and the campaign will likely happen in phases. Among the affected vehicles, there will be about 100,000 from the VW brand including the Jetta, Passat, and some variants of the Polo. VW already has repairs for some of the affected diesel engines in Europe, and the company can allegedly fix the emissions problem with new software and small hardware changes. The situation is harder in the US where regulators still need to approve any proposed solutions, and VW also must now recall its 3.0-liter V6 TDI in California to eliminate other problematic code. The German automaker faces investigations from regulators all over the world into its emissions evasions, and they could be quite costly. One estimate already suggests the minimum price of the potential repairs, fines, and other expenses at about $24.5 billion. Officials in Brazil have already fined the company $13 million for pollution issues with the diesel Amarok pickup and requested a recall to fix them.
