Karman Ghia Convertible 1974. 98% original. 35,700 documented miles. A good investment (increased 15% in last year according to Hagerty’s) that comes with more fun than should be allowed. This car has been driven less than a 1000 miles a years in it’s 40 years. I am the second owner. Always garaged and rarely driven in rain. Maintenance for the first 24,000 miles was religiously performed by the Volkswagen dealer that sold the car new. See picture of maintenance stamps in the original owner’s manual. This Ghia is as pure a version of an original condition unmolested convertibles as you are likely to find. The 1584 cc engine, seats, carpet, dash, drop top, head liner, transmission, and trunk are all original, untouched and show no signs of wear. The exterior was repainted the original zambezi green color over all rust free panels about 12 years ago. The tires have been replaced save for the spare that is original to the car. The rocker panels and chassis pans are solid as new. The VIN, date plate, and bulkhead numbers all match as recorded in the original owner’s manual. This car performs as new with a strong running engine with no drips that starts every time, smooth shifting, excellent braking and a tight and smooth suspension. Items that you may want to attend to: -1 1/4 in. star chip in windshield. -2 1/2 in. scratches in drives side window. -Front drivers side bumper bracket boot is torn. -Front passenger side lower wheel well has a 2” rust through. -Carpet throughout is soiled but no stains. -Paint surrounding the passenger side Karman badge has (2) 1/4 in. chips. Just to primer, no rust. -One wheel cover has small rust area.
Not even a meticulously restored Karman Ghia can replicate the character, patina, and scent that this original vehicle shows.

Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
