1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Custom on 2040-cars
Eureka Springs, Arkansas, United States
|
For sale is my 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia custom
convertible. It was purchased as a project that never got quite finished.
Unfortunately, I have to sell due to relocation. It’s had a lot of work done on
it, both inside and out making it a one-of-a-kind find. There’s barely been a
bolt that hasn’t been touched on this and it’s been a labor of love for a
while. Body has been professionally stripped and painted in dark eggplant. The
interior inside has been POR15’d but is relatively untrimmed. 1914cc racing engine professionally assembled with dual weber
carbs and tuned Unilite distributor. I have installed a classic Porsche shifter
and 5-speed transmission with new cvs and axles. 75w 12v alternator installed
for remote door poppers, power windows and other accessories. The top was
chopped, doors and exterior shaved. It sits low and handles like a speedster. It’s currently been in storage since I stopped working on it
a few years ago (new job) and has been waiting to be delivered to someone that
can give it the attention it needs. However, it requires some work to get 100%.
Most of the work is cosmetic or to undo the few years of inattention - I really
wanted to get it to the point of being driven so before I moved it started and
ran like a champ. I have tried to represent this vehicle to the best of my
ability, but prospective bidders are encouraged to contact me. I have prepared
a detailed spec sheet explaining the car’s condition, components and history, and
can send you a copy via Email. I will be happy to answer any questions and send
more pictures to interested parties. I'm not responsible for any unexpected perceptions of the car due to a buyer not asking questions about its condition.
The winning bidder should contact me within 24 hours after
the close of the auction to finalize the details of the transaction. A
$1,000 non-refundable Paypal deposit is required within 48 hours of the
auction's close. This deposit reserves the vehicle and removes it from
the market. If winning bidder does not contact me and submit deposit, vehicle
may be made available to the next highest bidder. Full payment to be arranged
within 7 days after auction via bank wire, certified cashier's check, or cash
in person. The car can be picked up in Eureka Springs AR. Details of pickup
should be finalized within 7 days from auction end. This includes a guaranteed date of pickup if using a
shipping company. Failure to pickup from this date will result in a daily
holding fee of $20/day. Buyer is responsible for taxes and shipping expenses
resulting from the sale. |

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
