The Ghia that was left for dead! I purchased the car from a private seller near Daytona. This Ghia has been through full body off restoration with new body rubber, floor pans and parts. (I have pictures of the restoration upon request)The interior is generally stock with the addition of Sunfire bucket seats up front and a back seat. During the restoration the body was fully stripped to bare metal to weld in new sheet metal in certain locations. The body now has zero rust. The body was then sealed, primed and painted Maroon metallic. I then replaced the convertible top about 6months ago and shows very little signs of wear. New glass and rubber were added to the windshield and back glass. It has 15” Empi 7 spoke wheels with new tires. I also lowered the front end 2" and replaced the stock shocks with lowered KYBs. I have done too much to the car to list Engine: Stock 1600cc dual port, less than 8kon rebuild, runs strong and burns no oil! This is a great running; head turning, classic Ghia, great for daily driving or weekend top down beach runs. I have used this car off and on as a daily driver with zero problems. It gets great gas mileage and is a blast to drive. I also have many extra parts for the car available for purchase. Thanks for your interest and happy bidding. I am willing to ship or drive car within 250 miles. We will discuss shipping options once purchase is final. Please feel free to contact me with any Questions Cell# 407-797-4566 or email: 50wayfarer@embarqmail.com

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.
