1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible on 2040-cars
|
Up for sale is our 1971 Ghia convertible. Runs and drives really nice- recently serviced, new belt, new German big pulley and German little pulley. When I bought her about years ago it had the aluminum Scat pulley system. I exchanged for an original German pulley set. Front light and back light are in working order as well as the windshield wipers and horn. Floors had patch work done in the rear area prior to my ownership. Doors close nice and solid. Rocker panels are solid and the door post are solid. No rot. The car is garaged kept by me and also from the previous owner. I had no plans to restore and wanted a weekend/Florida winter weather driver. Car will need your touches and is ready for a new owner. We love this car and my wife and kids will be a little disappointed but we are entertaining the idea of buying/trading for a VW THING or Pre68 VW Bus. Also included is the convertible sun cover pictured. I do have the original rear glass for her.Clean title on hand. Please email for more information or pictures. Convertible top frame is complete with the hardware, front bow is in good shape. The top is present but the top will need to be repaired or replaced - we only drive it when the weather is nice and always with the top down anyway :), it will also need a headliner. I do have the original rear glass for her. Keep in mind it's a 40 year old car that was actually enjoyed and will have your traditional blemishes for it's age. Original color was orange and can see some of the original color in a couple of the wheel walls and under the steering wheel column. We've owned her for 4 years have driven her occasionaly every other month. True mileage is unknow but I believe the last owner had it rebuilt about the same mileage displaying on the odometer (which he owned for close to 10 years). I do start her up every month and she starts up like a champ. We must have only driven her less then 1000 miles and mostley to church on Sundays. I will help with coordinating shipping (at your expense) to get her to your new home. Send your best offer, good luck and god bless! |

Ecotricity offering 1,000 free EV miles to new customers
Thu, Feb 13 2014Ecotricity is offering electric vehicle drivers in the United Kingdom an lengthy incentive for using green energy: 1,000 miles of free fast charging per year. Called "Green Electricity + Car," the program will power customers' homes with renewable power allow them to charge their cars through Ecotricity's national network of fast chargers, which the company has named the Electric Highway. It makes complete sense for Ecotricity. "To get the greatest environmental benefit from an electric car, it needs to be charged using 100 percent green electricity from the wind and the sun – otherwise you're still powering it from dirty fossil fuels," wrote Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity. Ecotricity, a UK-based producer of green energy, wants to bring fast charging to 90 percent of highway service stations around the UK in the near future and four fast chargers are installed per week under the Electric Highway campaign, the company says. Users can fast charge their EVs in 20-to-30 minutes. Ecotricity recently instituted a price freeze for all gas and electricity customers until April 1, reducing energy costs below what's being billed by the country's "Big Six" energy companies. Green Electricity + Car coincides with Volkswagen bringing its electric e-Up! to the British market. Volkswagen Group (UK) Limited imports VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda brand vehicles and has signed a deal with Ecotricity as its official green energy supplier. Volkswagen Group customers purchasing an EV through one of its brands can take advantage of a new, reduced-cost Ecotricity tariff and a free smart meter installation. 08 February 2014 Green Electricity + Car Drivers of electric cars will receive 1,000 free miles every year with a new electricity tariff being launched by green energy company Ecotricity. Green Electricity + Car – will not only power customers homes with green energy but also their cars (either 100% electric or plug-in hybrids), plus they'll get free access to Ecotricity's national network of fast chargers[1] – the Electric Highway. This latest move comes after Ecotricity announced a price freeze for all gas and electricity customers until the end of winter (April 1st), making them cheaper[2] than the standard tariff of the Big Six energy companies.
Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand
Wed, Jun 3 2020Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:
