1959 VW KARMANN GHIA LOW-LIGHT COUPE.

VW BIRTH CERTIFICATE CONFIRMS THAT THIS IS AN ORIGINAL #'S MATCHING FRAME/PAN, BODY, AND ENGINE AS WELL AS THE ORIGIANL L-354 CARDINAL RED COLOR.

THIS GHIA UNDER WENT A FULL BODY, PAINT, INTERIOR AND MECHANICAL RESTORATION APPROX. 2 YEARS AGO BY A VW RESTORATION SPECIALIST IN MICHIGAN. ALTHOUGH NOT A 100 POINT PERFECT CONCOURS RESTORATION, THE FINISHED OVERALL PRODUCT RESULTED TO BE EXCELLENT. EVERYTHING FROM BODY/PAINT, CHROME, TRIM, WHEELS/ TIRES, INTERIOR SEATS, CARPET, HEADLINER, ENGINE, SHOCKS, GAS TANK, AND MUCH MORE WAS RESTORED BACK TO AS CLOSE TO ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS AS POSSIBLE USING THE BEST PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS AVAILABLE TO THE MARKET PLACE.

SOME ADDITIONAL SPECIAL DETAILS ABOUT THIS GHIA INCLUDE:

* ORIGINAL FLOOR PANS IN AMAZING SOLID/ PRESERVED CONDITION.

* ORIGINAL BLAUPUNKT RADIO.

* ORIGINAL GLOVE BOX DOOR WITH FUEL AND TIRE PSI SPECS LABEL.

* ORIGINAL FRONT BODY NOSE WITH NO SIGNS OF PREVIOUS ACCIDENT.

* ORIGINAL 6 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

* ORIGINAL SEKURIT GLASS (EXCEPT THE WINDSHIELD).

* LATER 1959 PRODUCTION (JUNE).

* ALL ORIGINAL NUMBERS MATCHING BODY, PAN, AND ENGINE.

* ORIGINAL L-354 CARDINAL RED COLOR PAINT.

* ORIGINAL BODY VIN PLATE AND ORIGINAL VIN STAMPING ON FRAME.

THIS GHIA HAS BEEN DRIVEN ONLY ABOUT 50 MILES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS SINCE THE RESTORATION WAS COMPLETED. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT IN A PRIVATE COLLECTION. A NEW BATTERY AND FRESH GASOLINE WERE JUST ADDED TODAY WITH THE ENGINE FIRING RIGHT UP AND RUNNING FLAWLESSLY! A FULL UPDATED MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY CHECK SHOULD BE PERFORMED BEFORE DRIVING REGULARLY DUE TO THE AGE AND AMOUNT OF SITTING TIME OF THIS VEHICLE. ALSO NOTICED TODAY BY OUR DETAILER WAS THAT THERE ARE A FEW AREA'S WHERE THE NEW PAINT HAS DEVELOPED WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN AIR POCKET UNDER THE PAINT FINISH; HOWEVER, THE PAINT BASE AND CLEAR COAT LOOK NORMAL WITH GREAT SHINE.

WITH A SIMILAR LOW-LIGHT KARMANN GHIA COUPE HAVING JUST SOLD THIS PAST SUMMER AT AUCTION FOR CLOSE TO $45K, IT'S CLEAR THAT THESE RARE VW'S ARE ON A UP HILL CLIMB OF DESIRABILITY AND APPRECIATATION. THIS CAR'S UN- MOLESTED HISTORY AND ORIGINALITY MAKE IT A SMART INVESTMENT WITH LOT'S OF SMILES AND FUN TO COME :-) !!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT PAULO AT (301) 370-6866 WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR TO SCHEDULE A VISIT WHICH IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED WITH CLASSIC RESTORED CARS. OF COURSE DUE TO IT'S AGE, THE ODOMETER READING ISN'T GUARANTEED TO BE ACCURATE. THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AS-IS/ WHERE-IS WITH NO WRITTEN NOR EXPRESSED WARRANTY.

VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The 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.

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
