This is a 1973 karmann Ghia Volkswagen that was traded in at a Dodge dealership here in North Alabama and whom we purchased it from.I will do my best to describe the car but by no means am I an expert on Volkswagens.The car was driven about 75 miles back after we purchased it with no problems other than it does not want to idle on its on when sitting still.This is not a show car and basically will need a FULL RESTORATION.It is missing the front door panels,headliner,rearview,rubber drivers door moulding,glove box button and door sill on drivers door.That is what we can see that is missing.The front seats are pretty much worn out and have seat covers on them,The back seat looks pretty good for its age.It has an aftermarket radio(works).The heat seems to work.The wipers work.The headlights,tail lights,dash lights work.I dont think fuel gauge is working.It looks to be missing a couple emblems on the body.All the glass is good.The motor runs but does not idle on its on,It also has oil residue on and around the engine,So basically you can probably count on an engine REBUILD also.The brakes seem to work good.The body overall seems to be pretty solid with very minimal rust,A few little bubble spots on lower panel and a couple small spots underneath(see pics).The bumpers look pretty good.The car is showing the mileage in the 20k range but have no way of knowing if it is 120k or 520k.We have the original owners manual,books and original invoice when purchased new in Texas.Also a box of what looks to be some door handle bezels and trim.The state of Alabama does not require Titles for this year model so it will come with tag receipt and a bill of sale only.So please make sure this is not a problem in your state.If you would like to come see the car(which I encouarge very highly) or have any questions please feel free ask and I will do my best to answer.The car is being Sold in AS IS condition and is located in North Alabama about 20 miles east of Huntsville. |

VW to unveil diesel-electric Twin-Up! in Tokyo
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've received multiple reports that Volkswagen will be bringing a diesel-electric concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, set to take place later this month. The car, called the Twin-Up!, is based on the Up! city car, with some sources claiming this is a thinly veiled concept that will eventually enter production.
According to Automotive News Europe, the Twin-Up! will reportedly return 214 miles per gallon on the US cycle by combining an 800-cc, two-cylinder diesel and an electric motor. It will also boast plug-in capabilities, and will be able to cover 30 miles on electric power alone.
Autocar has a more complete picture of the Twin-Up!'s powertrain, though, claiming it's a modified version of the hybrid system found in the Volkswagen XL1. The Twin-Up! will get a more potent, 47-horsepower electric motor to the XL1's 27-hp unit, but will retain that car's 47-hp turbodiesel. The battery pack will also grow, from 5.5 kilowatt hours to 8.6 kWh. Both of these increases are necessary due to the increased weight of the Twin-Up! - it's some 900 pounds heavier than an XL1.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
