See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Does not run, needs new ECU and possibly a fuel injector or two. Has brand new head gaskets, does not leak when running. Missing deck lid, a better one can be custom made from plywood and sound deadening foam, something you would have to do for most engine conversions anyway. Carpet is intact but shows its age. There is one (shopping cart?) ding on the driver side, it is small and round, and can easily be removed. No hubcaps."

Condition:  Not running.  Builder or project.  Body is great, barely any minor surface rust at all, paint intact, straight, only one minor dent on driver side.  Glass is all intact and clean, no cracks.  Undercarriage free of rust.  Has 4 almost new BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A tires, no dry rot on tires.  Interior complete, has all seats, has original carpet.  Seats and carpets show their age, but are not damaged structurally.  Has 2 good Pioneer door speakers and working Jensen 2 x 40 amplifier, but no stereo (it is junk).  Dash is clean, not cracked, and not dry rotted.  Headliner perfect and intact.  Has new sway bar link, hard to find now.  Has 4 new OEM shocks that have not been installed, still NIB.  Has an entire extra engine and fuel injection parts, engine needs head gasket but block is intact.  Syncro is among the rarest of the rare now, they are being cannibalized for parts, finding a clean, complete builder with good transmission, viscous coupling, locker, diff, and driveshaft is tough to do, here is your chance.  The engine in it runs, it just needs time to be worked on, something I just don't have.  With a battery, the engine cranks fine, and will even sputter and run a bit sometimes, though not well, as it really does need some testing and work.  This is a chance to earn a one of a kind vehicle that is considered a collector's item.  It is a prime candidate for an engine conversion (anything from mild to wild), and can be made to run as is.  This is a VERY capable off road vehicle, google "vanagon syncro offroad" for some idea of what it can do.  This is a cult classic vehicle made of solid German steel.  It is sturdy, well-engineered, and years ahead of its time.  This is a great price for a vehicle you simply can't find now.  There are never more than a few for sale anywhere in the country.

Translogic 171: EV West Karmann Ghia Electric Conversion

Wed, Feb 25 2015

Translogic checks out EV West, one of the world leaders in electric vehicle conversions. Host Jonathon Buckley interviews EV West owner Michael Bream and test drives a converted 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. What drives EV West to electrify classic cars may surprise some. "We're not doing this because we're the hardcore environmentalists or we're trying to save the earth," says Bream. "If we can't at least double your horsepower and torque, we won't touch the car." In fact, EV West brings a race-tested performance pedigree to back up those boasts. The company competed in the electric class at Pikes Peak, has run through the desert at Baja, and in general has successfully proved that battery-electric vehicles can compete at a high level.

VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Potential 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.

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019

Thu, Jul 18 2019

PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
