Driver Condition Upgraded Ghia Convertible VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: VEHICLE HISTORY: The current owner has enjoyed this Ghia convertible for almost 10 years. He drove it regularly during the summer months and stored it during the winters. It was restored and upgraded prior to his purchase. The engine is upgraded with a Weber 32/36 DFA 2BBL carburetor, a Bosch 009 centrifugal advance distributor and a performance oil pump with a spin-on oil filter. The suspension is upgraded with Bilstein gas shocks and a rear sway bar. The interior is upgraded with a wood steering wheel and a custom additional 4-gauge panel below the dash (engine temp, volt meter, cylinder head temp, oil pressure). It drives, performs, and handles very nicely. His business is requiring more of his time in the summers, and he does not have the time to enjoy it like he did. So, it is time for a new owner to enjoy the summertime top-down driving fun. This is a very nice red convertible to be enjoyed and driven. It is mechanically sound, and with a new set of rubber, it would be good to go. With the recent service, it’s the perfect red convertible to cruise in this summer! MARQUE HISTORY: The Volkswagen
Karmann Ghia (Type 14) was produced from 1956 through 1974. Its voluptuous
body was penned by design powerhouse Ghia in Total convertible production for all years was 80,899 with only 5,567 produced for the 1971 model year. The 1971 models were the last to have the smaller, more attractive bumpers. Go to this link for more

Volkswagen adding R-Line trim to Touareg, Tiguan for 2014
Fri, 11 Jan 2013Volkswagen introduced its aggressive R-Line appearance package on the CC and Beetle last year, but later this year, this treatment will also be applied to VW's crossovers, the Tiguan and Touareg. Both sporty-looking utility vehicles will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Tiguan R-Line comes standard with bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, and the package adds 19-inch wheels, grey fender extensions, body-color side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. Inside, the R-Line adds a flat-bottom sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, a black headliner and numerous metallic trim accents such as the stainless scuff plates, the aluminum pedals and metallic finish on the instrument and door panels. The Tiguan R-Line will be offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
As for the 2014 Touareg R-Line (shown above), this model gets an ever more distinctive look with an aggressive front fascia, 20-inch wheels and dual oval-shaped exhaust outlets in addition to the painted side skirts and LED taillights. Similar metallic interior trim pieces found inside the Tiguan R-Line will also make their way into the Touareg as well as gloss black accents on the instrument panel and center stack.
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.
