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! |

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year
Mon, Jan 12 2015Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang – 204 points Hyundai Genesis – 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 – 297 points Chevrolet Colorado – 205 points Lincoln MKC – 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media – magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.

Yes, a family of 5 can live in a 1981 VW Westfalia van
Fri, Feb 14 2014Automakers and marketers trying to reach environmentally conscious consumers who desire the simple life basically have two strategies: promote electric vehicles that can be charged through green energy or sell a 30-year-old Volkswagen van on Craigslist. Nicolas Boullosa and Kirsten Dirksen opted for Plan B and turned a 1981 Volkswagen Westfalia camper into a "micro-living" experiment. The co-founders of the simple living website faircompanies packed up their van and three young children for a road trip through the Pacific Northwest. They even turned the adventure into a documentary called Summer of (Family) Love, which you can view below. It's two hours long, so maybe add this to your weekend viewing list. They limited themselves to one backpack per person into a camper that they purchased off Craigslist and named "Westy." They stuck to their original intention of cooking all their own meals off a propane stove, creating a new little home every night in a different location, mostly spaces outside RV parks. They met up with other enthusiasts of the "tiny house" community who live like nomads. They were able to interview a few of then and, "With each stop we picked up some new piece of wisdom about life's essentials," Dirksen wrote in the faircompanies blog.
