1974 base karmann ghia, this car had a complete rebuild and paint from original orange to metalic green im 2001. the pan was removed and epoxy paint was sprayed in all the sections that posably might rust in the future, in 2009 the car had a small engine fire which was put out quickly with only small damage to paint and some wiring. only problem was water went into motor and nobody did anything about it for a years and it sat in a garage till 2010.
the motor was pulled, all new cylinders, heads, alternator, carb , fuel lines, fuel pump, exaust , clutch , distributor and painted with new gaskets as needed.
the car has ss brake lines, new master cylinder, all hydrolics has been replaced as needed . fuel system has new gas tank, sending unit, lines .
complete suspension overhaul with neoprene heavy duty sway bars front and back . all window and sealing gaskets are in new condition , interior better than fair considering age of car . chrome rims with new tires balanced with some sighs of whare on rims but shine up nicely.
body is 99 % void of rust, nose is perfect not a bondo bucket !
steering has all new parts , kyb gas schocks and drive/ handles beautifully.
have original paperwork for car, owners manual ect (what ever comes in glove box when you buy it )
we have been driving car and enjoying it , but cant see it sitting outside or cooking in my trailer...
this cars restoration was over 8k and rebuild to correct damage was around 3500$ not to include the tires that were installed just last week and oil change.
you wont find a more solid vw ghia , its has its small flaws for a 12 year old paint job, cosmetically still very nice daily driver or weekend collector classic .
i am selling for a friend but know the car well so i should be able to answer without any problems, simply enough she lost her job , home and has no place to keep her baby.

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.
VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
