1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia on 2040-cars
North Bend, Ohio, United States
Just email me at: kalynkhhurrington@ukbig.com . This is an excellent condition early 1969 VW Karmann Ghia convertible with the rare Automatic Stickshift
transmission. The Ghia drives and shifts flawlessly. This is a solid body car and is originally from southern
California where it spent the majority of its life except for the last few years which were in S. Carolina. I
purchased the car in 2014 and I had the car totally gone over mechanically including new brake shoes in the rear,
new brake master cylinder, new tires, rebuilt engine with new seals including the automatic transmission, replaced
all 4 CV joints, got speedometer and odometer working, new Stayfast canvas convertible top w /headliner and boot,
along with some additional maintenance and repairs. It is not the original engine. The horn does not work and the
interior dash lights do not work. All exterior lights work correctly - brakes, brights, hazard, parking, license
plate, turn signals, back-up, etc. The interior was re-done by a previous owner and it has nice light blue piping.
The interior is in excellent condition. The body has been repainted once, as far as we know, and it is in excellent
condition. The car is clean and only has a few dings or scrapes. One dent is on the front bumper. These are shown
in the photos. The automatic stickshift transmission works fine. It has reverse, low, first and second. There is no
clutch. To switch from first to second you just lift off of the gas pedal, shift, then push the gas pedal. When we
received the car the speedometer and odometer were not working. They are both working now but the odometer reading
is not correct and we have no way of knowing the correct mileage. When we purchased the car the odometer read
47,019 and the previous owner thought she had not put 10,000 miles on it and we probably haven't put 500 miles on
it. The clock is working but not keeping perfect time. The vintage Blaupunkt radio is still there, but not working.
There is an under dash Blaupunkt radio with a cassette player in the vehicle but the radio stations often don't
come in well. It has a new speaker for when the radio stations do come in well or if you are using a cassette. I
just got the car the way I wanted it when I found a car that I wanted more! Non-smoking home. Feel free to ask
questions before you buy! You will be responsible for pick up of the vehicle or arranging for transport.

VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.

Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
