Here is a great example of the rare Volkswagen Karmann Ghia! You don't see these cruising around very often. This 1973 model is perfect for the VW enthusiast who has been searching for a good specimen, or somebody who just wants a car that you don't see everyday. Maybe you need the perfect vehicle to cruise the boulevard with you and your friends, or you might be looking for something that is good on gas, but is not a boring, dime-a-dozen econo-box. This is the car for you!
This Ghia is powered by a 1914cc air-cooled boxer four motor that gets great gas mileage while still providing ample power to get you down the highway at brisk speeds. The engine is fed by dual Delardo carbs, and starts up to a smooth idle. The Ghia is a rear-wheel drive vehicle that is controlled by an Empi shifter that goes smoothly into all 4 gears. The car sounds great with the Bugpack exhaust installed on it.
This VW turns a lot of heads! Not just because of the unique styling of the Ghia, but also because of the nice paint job. It is a deep, fire engine red that really stands out. The imperfections on the paint and body are a fraction of what you would expect of a car that is 40 years old. The black VW wheels compliment the look of the Ghia, and the tires are in great shape. Rust is a minor issue on this vehicle due to it being a California car. All of the chrome is in good shape, and it does retain all of its emblems. The exterior is a 9 out of 10.
Inside, this VW is pretty much stock except for the CD player that provides your cruising tunes. The front seats provide plenty of support while also being very comfortable, but do have some minor wear as seen in the pictures. The carpet, door paneling, dash, and gauges all look good, but would require some attention if you wanted to completely restore it. The odometer shows 33,633 but has probably flipped since it is only 5 digits. All the glass is good, but the headliner is original and does show wear. Overall, I would rate the interior a 7.5 out of 10.
So don't let your chance to drive a truly rare car at a low price pass you by! Be confident that this car is as described. But please remember, even though this VW is in good shape both mechanically and cosmetically, it is 40 years old and is not perfect. The new owner will be happy with his or her new car. I will answer all questions as quickly as possible. The car is currently registered here in California. Thanks for your consideration!

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
