|
Again, this is a 1970 Midnight blue Karmann Ghia purchase new from Cotton Goff VW in Buena Park CA in May 1970 by a relative so its been in the same family for over 44 years - its always been garaged and maintained. The body is in excellent shape no dents or accidents that I know of - minor scratches and some paint flaws - one small rust spot by front passenger side front window and I have included a photo - new cream interior with grey carpeting, carburetor was just rebuilt about 4 months ago - the car starts right up on the first try. The Good - all electronics works - clock, speedometer, windshield wipers, lights, emergency flashers, stock AM radio, horn, heater, turn signals, dome light, gas tank cover release works etc, newer black headliner possibly from about 1985 no tears or rips or saging its black in color. stock rims, tires have good tread life on them. The not so good - minor paint flaws, rear light reflector on drivers side fell off - the part is about $35 so I will try and replace that asap, the windshield washer water tank etc doesn't work but it all there, rear engine compartment doesn't lock any longer but closes fine, drivers window is a bit hard to roll down but it does go up and down not sure why? the hood release works from inside the glove box but has came loose from the box I just got back from driving the Ghia from Los Angeles all the way to San Francisco via Hwy 1 - it ran flawless and drove back the 5fwy at about 70 miles an hour on the way home - got about 30 miles to the gallon Always a CA car - serviced by Auto Meister in Manhattan Beach, CA Engine was rebuilt along with transmission about 75k miles ago - the car has roughly 178,000 miles on it but I cant be certain - Runs Great! |

Volkswagen rules out more potent Polo R
Wed, Dec 10 2014Volkswagen may be planning ever more powerful versions of its Golf, but don't expect that lust for power to trickle down to the smaller Polo anytime soon as the German automaker has reportedly ruled out the prospect of making a Polo R. This according to Autovisie, the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, in speaking to VW representatives at the launch of the new Polo GTI. Where the previous Polo GTI offered 177 horsepower, the new one packs 189 and is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The company briefly offered a Polo WRC Street with 220 horsepower, but that was only for a limited edition that Autovisie says will not be repeated for mainstream production. Which may just be for the best, as far as we're concerned, as no versions of the Polo are offered in the US, and we don't need yet another piece of forbidden fruit we can't get our hands on. The decision may seem at odds with the Polo R WRC rally machine with which Volkswagen has been dominating the World Rally Championship for the past two seasons, but was likely made in order to keep the Polo from infringing on Golf territory. VW currently offers the Golf GTI with 210 horsepower and the Golf R with 292, and showcased an even more powerful version with nearly 400 hp.
Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
