B E A U T I F U L  1970 VW Karmann Ghia convertible.  This car is fun to drive especially with the top down on a nice summer day.  It gets lots of attention wherever it goes.

It starts easily, runs well, stops well.   Per the previous owner the motor was rebuilt and now has just under 4K miles on it.  It was built with around 10K on odometer, its a  2017cc with dual webber carbs and electronic fuel pump. Some of the work was done at Chico Performance. The exhaust is a Vintage Speed Super Flow stainless steel. The transmission is also relatively new with a rebuild and about 4K miles on it; its set up with a taller 4th gear (a.k.a. Freeway Flyer).  Had a complete tune-up about 700 miles ago. I have all the receipts that were given to me from the previous owner as well as all of mine. 

The paint is in really nice condition, it is not show condition but looks real nice. The drivers side door has some orange peel look to it when you get real close.

Wheels are EMPI brand Porsche Fuch style. Tires are like new, approx 2K miles on them. The breaks are in great condition.  The car has been lowered, using drop spindles, about two inches in the front giving it that clean custom look.

The convertible top is like new as is the boot.  Both are high quality canvas and the top has a plastic window in excellent shape. The liner is is great shape too.

Interior is beautiful two tone black and cream, the seats are fairly comfortable for an older car.  There is a AM/FM Sony CD player with Infinity speakers too. The interior black carpet is in great shape and there are red and black Coco floor mats.

All the electrical is in good working condition, Lights, Radio, Turn signals, horn, wipers, etc.  The cigarette lighter is not wired and the clock and small interior light on the rear view mirror are not working.

All chrome is in great condition, front bumper has some pitting on one blade, rear bumper does not.

This car is currently licensed and has a clear Califonia State title.

This car is rust free, the pans were replaced and all the rockers and panels are straight and clean.

I am willing to work with your transporter/shipper at your expense (The buyers expense).

A down payment of $1000 must be secured via PayPal within 24 hours of winning bid.  The remaining balance is required via a bank transfer or cash within 7 days of the auction ending.

This vehicle is being sold as is, there is no warranty either expressed written or implied.  

The vehicle must be picked up.  Seller is willing to work with your transporter/shipper at the buyers expense.

If you have any questions please ask, I will reply a s quickly as possible.

Audi RS3 and Volkswagen Golf R face off in Evo test

Fri, Aug 7 2015

Typically when an automotive publication pits two rivals against each other, they come from different companies. After all, why would one automaker – even one parent company – develop two distinct models to compete against each other? Well, the Volkswagen Group isn't like most. It pits Porsches against Lamborghinis, Audis against Bentleys, Seats against Skodas... all under the same roof. In the high-powered hot hatch market, it offers both the VW Golf R and the Audi RS3. The question is, which is the better drive? Evo put them both on track for a quick bout of sibling rivalry to find out. On paper it would seem like an unfair fight. Sure, both are based on the same platform and channel their power to the tarmac through all four wheels. But the Audi's five-cylinder engine packs considerably more muscle than the Golf's four: 362 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque trump 296 hp and 280 lb-ft. There's just no way around that – at least until the Golf R 400 comes along. The Audi, as you might have guessed, also costs substantially more than the Volkswagen. But that's not Evo's concern here. This is a cost-no-object, bare-knuckle throw-down. Watch the ten-minute video above to find out if the cheaper, less powerful Golf R can keep pace with its more upscale and brawnier brother.

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW CEO mulls battery factory, voters approve $201B in transportation funding

Mon, Nov 21 2016

Volkswagen Group CEO Matthias Muller says that it would "make sense" for the automaker to begin producing its own batteries. As the company moves toward electrification, Muller says it would be a smart move to build a battery factory. "If more than a quarter of our cars are to be electronic vehicles in the foreseeable future then we are going to need approximately 3 million batteries a year," he says. Volkswagen has agreed to cut 30,000 jobs in its restructuring, while committing to creating 9,000 jobs in Germany through battery manufacturing and mobility services.

Earlier this month, voters in 22 states approved ballot measures adding up to $201 billion in funding for transportation projects, according to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association. California passed 15 transportation measures, including one in Los Angeles worth $120 billion for roads, bridges, and transit. The state of Washington secured $54 billion for light rail and buses. Atlanta approved about $4 billion for road and transit projects. Illinois and New Jersey passed measures to prevent the diversion of transportation user fee revenue to other industries.

A Delaware federal judge ordered the DOE to give the documents – which concern a presentation by Fisker to the DOE in which it falsely claimed to meet milestones set forth in a government loan – to lawyers in a case in which investors claim Fisker lied to them about financial troubles. While the DOE has given over documents already, they were incomplete and heavily redacted. "I understand that such disclosures may have a negative impact on future DOE analyses," says US District Judge Sue Robinson. "but conclude nonetheless that under the circumstances at bar – the public money at stake, the Congressional hearings, and the fact that Fisker Automotive is now a defunct company – the balance of interests favors plaintiffs."
