Lakemore, Ohio, United States
Excellent Cherry Red Ghia that came from California in 2004. All lights work including reverse lights and green indicator light for turn signals in speedo(all original to car). Original 1 year only brushed aluminum horn ring. Top, padding, and headliner in excellent condition as is boot cover-no stains or stress areas. Top frame was cleaned and new cables installed. Ghia was painted in its org color in 2005 over its original paint as evident of inner hood and trunk paint and pictures from PO. All metal panels are original and solid. Door,trunk,hood seams are excellent, rockers are not skimmed over--solid metal as are rear quarters and inner wheel wells. Door gaps are right on and shut with the sound you want--by themselves-no need to push. Engine has been professionally been rebuilt and cruises all day--5,000 miles in last 8 years. Dry engine with aluminum valve covers and chrome flared exhaust tips--great tone.Carpet,seats, door panels,dash were all redone--no issues. Tires are Nexxen period correct and excellent shape. Has an original Blaupunkt VW radio with FM and org VW knobs--very rare. Drives straight, quiet and solid. Rear pans have been repaired previously rest of pan is excellent. All gears shift smooth and are synchronized properly. Wipers work as they should. Generator charges the battery and never had starting problems. Will need a muffler in near future--starting to show its age but still quiet. Original bumpers are driver quality with some pitting on center bumper blades. Get in and drive! Only selling to add a Porsche to my garage after selling a 911 and 928- 3 years ago to purchase a Ghia Vert. Original mileage is 102,220 as stated on title and from previous owner. Original 1968 Owners manual goes with car. Has original glove box liner. I also have left over paint from restoration for any touch ups--not sure of its condition but both cans are fluid.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
Which car should win 2015 World Green Car of the Year?
Wed, Apr 1 2015There were three finalists for the World Green Car of the Year announced about a month ago at the Geneva Motor Show: the BMW i8, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-In Hybrid and the Volkswagen Golf GTE. With the New York Auto Show upon us and the winner scheduled to be announced tomorrow, we thought it's high time to ask our readers which one should win. There were seven other vehicles named to the finalists list: the Hyundai x35/Tucson Fuel Cell, the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, the Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron, the BMW X5 xDrive40e, the Kia Soul EV, the Nissan e-NV200 and the Opel Adam 1.0 Direct Injection Turbo ecoFLEX Start. Would you have named one of these to the top three list instead? POLL 14386429 Green BMW Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen 2015 ny auto show world green car of the year vw golf gte
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
