I did list this before but needed to add some pics to help
please take another look.
Up for Auction is this 1959 Karmann Ghia that I have chased for 20 years. When the guy finally wants to sell, I'm not prepared to do this car. someone please come love this car. I couldn't turn it down and had to buy it.
The guy who had this was a Vo-tech teacher and when I tried to buy this the first time it was unmolested. he decided to take it into school and let the students do the work on the car. (stop rolling your eyes). lol they replaced lower quarters and did some body work and painted it this color. its original color is a turquoise, like, blue. I sifted through all the parts and it looks like almost everything is here. there are some things missing I sure, like the bottom of the back seat. the parts are not in good shape. some of the trim pieces look like they have screw holes at each end. the glass is in good shape. steering wheel, seats, door panels, bumpers, are there but rough. the body has its typical area problems. the floors are there but thin and filled with small holes, (finger size not fist size), you can stand on them without falling through. It came with 2 single port engines that im not sure turn over. one looks like it is out of this car the other has the Bug type air cleaner. you can see in the photo of the parts that it has the jack and trim rings, they are in real nice condition. the hub caps are not. the grill pieces and tail lights are here and in good shape. fuel tank looks good. it came with some new rubber and a new head liner. the original head liner is here with the rods. speedo, clock, ashtray are all here. I took as many pics as I could. I did not see the radio but it could be in there somewhere. This car is in pieces and I may have missed something so if your looking or hoping something is here, you should ask and ill check.
This is a car in need of a lot of love but I have restored worse. I will answer any questions that I can but am very busy and will apologizes if I don't get back to you right away. this is why I have no time for the car.

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
