I have a 1972 VW Karmann Ghia 2 door coupe. The body is in good
condition, no body damage and no cancer at all throughout the vehicle, very
original car from what I can tell. The floor boards and
trunk pan are very solid with no rust at all. The bumpers are nice and sturdy with no rust also. The interior is in
decent shape with no major tears in the seats, It looks to be all original, The dash is fair but has some cracks and the head liner has a couple tears in it. All dash lights and instruments work even the
seat belt light and buzzer. The only real rust is near the bottom of the quarter panel rear passenger side, but could easily be repaired you cant see it from the pictures, but has slightly started to bubble in the paint in that area. All doors open and all as they should and the glass is in good shape. The trunk and engine hatches pop open as they should. The Headlights, tail lights and windshield wipers are all in working order. It has front disk brakes
which allow the car to slow down very easily, a big plus because this car
really likes to move down the road! The chrome is all in
good shape and all the trim pieces seem to be there as well as emblems ect. It has a 1600cc that does start and run and idles very nicely, the 4 speed transmission shifts great. Mechanically the car performs very well. I drive the car 2-3 times a week, but it could very easily be a daily driver. I have had it on the highway and it drives just fine, but I would consider this a more comfortable around town vehicle.
I bought the car from a gentleman who has owned it for the last 5 years. It has been garage kept most of its life. I bought it to
have as a nice fun second car, but the wife says I need something with four doors. With a little work this car could be a nice show car, but for now it
is a great driver. If someone wanted to
restore it and make it a nice show vehicle this would be a perfect candidate. If you have any
questions please do not hesitate to let me know, And I will get back with you
to the best of my knowledge of the vehicle I have over 15 pictures
of the interior and exterior,
and I can send pictures and a short video of any area of the car for serious
bidders. It is much easier to send videos and pictures for me via phone or text message if you need them just FYI. This vehicle is sold
AS-IS no warranty is written or expressed. 500 dollar deposit is
due at end of auction with remaining cost due upon pick up of vehicle. shipping/transportation
of vehicle is the responsibility of the buyer. Thanks you for your
interest, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. |

eBay Find of the Day: Unrestored Herbie Love Bug movie car
Wed, Dec 10 2014Well before Cars ever hit the screens, The Love Bug series of Disney films – starring Herbie the VW Beetle with a mind of its own – was an early introduction to cars and racing for many budding auto fans. Not the modern remake starring Lindsay Lohan mind you, but the originals from the '60s and '70s. Now, a seller in Texas claims to be offering a chance to own one of the Bugs from the films on eBay Motors. According to the auction, this Beetle didn't appear in the original film but was built for the sequel Herbie Rides Again in 1972 and also appeared in the third installment Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. This VW was prepared as the blind-drive car for the movies that attached a low-mounted chair in the back and extended controls to let Herbie look like he was driving himself. Although, some of the photos here show the Bug with regular seats fitted, too. This Herbie was reportedly found in a Florida warehouse a few years ago. It was then made operable, while trying to keep it as original as possible. The exterior underwent a slight restoration with input from former Disney special effects staff, according to the seller. The changes added new graphics and rebuilt the blind drive setup. Judging by these pictures, the rest of the interior was left mostly untouched, though. Of course, anyone interested in buying a movie car is going to want proof of its authenticity. The seller claims to have the original California title showing the buyer as Disney in 1972. The Bug also reportedly has a unique rear decklid that mixes early and later parts to help identify it in the film. As of this writing, bidding for Herbie sits at $55,100 with 82 bids and a reserve not yet met. The sale closes on Saturday, December 13.
Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
VW clubs pay it forward to fix elderly woman's vandalized '69 Bus
Sun, Jan 11 2015Not long after Thanksgiving, surveillance cameras caught four boys in Arizona throwing rocks through the windows of a 1969 Volkswagen bus belonging to an elderly woman called Ann. A few nights later they returned to the scene of the first crime and repeated it, smashing windows they missed before. Ann had no other car and no way to make a living, but when Jesus Aguilera – a member of the Arizona Bus Club – came across the incident on a Facebook page, he got to work. When he was finished, the AZ Bus Club and the Tucson Mob Squad had donated thousands of dollars to pay for new glass and get it installed, and now Ann has a magic bus she can drive again. Now, the vandals just need to be caught... Check out the video above for the story. News Source: AZ FamilyTip: Jav Volkswagen Minivan/Van Classics Videos crime vw bus
