Ready to roll...Hop in and start driving and having fun right away at a very affordable price...This is the perfect car for a father son project, or someone who's always wanted a Ghia, but didn't want to spend the big bucks on a fully restored one. This is a very solid, mostly rust free Ghia, that runs and drives like a champ. The lucky new owner, can start driving and enjoying it right away just the way it is. At some point, restoring it to their individual taste and style, knowing what they're working with from the very beginning. The person I purchased this Ghia from had owned it for the last 14 years. During that time he slowly worked on the mechanics of the car and collected tons of extra parts to use as he went along. It was always garage kept and well maintained. Here's a partial list of the things he did, in his words: Original fuel tank etched and lined New fuel filler hose New polyurethane steering bushing KYB shocks Original Hella headlight rings Grant 14' steering wheel Empi T-Handle shifter New pedal cluster with roller pedal accelerator New facet solid state electronic fuel pump New urethane transaxle mounts front and rear All parts have basically zero miles on them... Since I've owned the car, I did a major tune-up on the 1600 Dual Port engine including Plugs, Points, Condenser. Along with adjusting the valves and changing the oil...I also adjusted the clutch cable and brakes with the idea of making it a road worthy, drivable car. Now it's up to the next person to take it to what ever level they desire... If you have any more questions feel free to call me anytime @720-270-5637. You can also learn more about my world by clicking the "Me" link next to my feedback and going to my homemade Website. I am willing to negotiate on my "Buy It Now price" but will only do it through E-Bay, in person, or over the phone.(not through e-mails) These Ghias are getting harder harder to find as they get more and more expensive. Yes, this needs some cosmetic love and attention, but mechanically is in excellent condition. I'm including all the spare parts that you see in the pictures, along with the bumpers. Thank-you for checking out my auction and good luck bidding... Peace, Love, and Old VW's...Joey |

Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
