Los Angeles, California, United States
|
Again, this is a 1970 Midnight blue Karmann Ghia purchase new from Cotton Goff VW in Buena Park CA in May 1970 by a relative so its been in the same family for over 44 years - its always been garaged and maintained. The body is in excellent shape no dents or accidents that I know of - minor scratches and some paint flaws - one small rust spot by front passenger side front window and I have included a photo - new cream interior with grey carpeting, carburetor was just rebuilt about 4 months ago - the car starts right up on the first try. The Good - all electronics works - clock, speedometer, windshield wipers, lights, emergency flashers, stock AM radio, horn, heater, turn signals, dome light, gas tank cover release works etc, newer black headliner possibly from about 1985 no tears or rips or saging its black in color. stock rims, tires have good tread life on them. The not so good - minor paint flaws, rear light reflector on drivers side fell off - the part is about $35 so I will try and replace that asap, the windshield washer water tank etc doesn't work but it all there, rear engine compartment doesn't lock any longer but closes fine, drivers window is a bit hard to roll down but it does go up and down not sure why? the hood release works from inside the glove box but has came loose from the box I just got back from driving the Ghia from Los Angeles all the way to San Francisco via Hwy 1 - it ran flawless and drove back the 5fwy at about 70 miles an hour on the way home - got about 30 miles to the gallon Always a CA car - serviced by Auto Meister in Manhattan Beach, CA Engine was rebuilt along with transmission about 75k miles ago - the car has roughly 178,000 miles on it but I cant be certain - Runs Great! |

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?
Wed, 01 May 2013Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.
Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.
