1966 Convertable Volkswager Karmann Ghia 1600cc on 2040-cars
Mission Hills, California, United States
|
This is an Original and Classic 1966 Convertible VW Karmann Ghia with a 1600cc engine. If you are looking for a classic convertible Karmann Ghia you will be challenged to find a nicer car than this one. The car looks, runs, and drives great. When on the road this Jet Black Ghia is a real head turner. The vehicle itself is solid and has never been in any kind of car accident. The body has all of its original metal and the nose area which is susceptible to experiencing damage is intact, a virgin car. Although this beautiful car was made in Germany its true home has been Southern California for the past 48 years. Maybe not born in SoCal, but certainly raised here. In truth the car has spent about the previous 10 years covered up in a garage until the restoration was started. The exterior as well as interior restoration was completed about five years ago, but the car went right back into the garage where it sat and only exercised once a month to keep all of the moving parts functioning correctly. The vehicle itself is fully converted to a 12 volt system. It has a super strong 1600cc engine with a single dual port carb that is ready to go and go fast. Basically what you see in the photographs is what you will receive. Unfortunately the photographs cannot capture the full beauty of the car, but I guarantee that if you like the pictures than you will love the car. Facts and issues that must be addressed; As I previously mentioned the car is in
wonderful working condition and I am confident that you will love your
purchase, but in all fairness to the buyer I must mention all defects that I have
found. Although the pan is in great shape it does have a small hole about the
size of a .50cent piece behind the driver’s seat. The fix is very simple but I
must disclose this fact. As with most VW engines there is a small oil leak around
the oil pan area. The car has very minor scratches that are not visible under
normal inspection, but if you look hard enough you will find them (about 3).
The front header wooden bow of the convertible top was replaced due to damage. Unfortunately I decided to use graphite (more
resistant to water damage) and not wood, which I regret. I believe that the
wooden bow would have given me a better fit. Although the head lights, break
lights, and signals operate normally the wire harness should be updated. |

Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
