Here is a great example of the rare Volkswagen Karmann Ghia! You don't see these cruising around very often. This 1973 model is perfect for the VW enthusiast who has been searching for a good specimen, or somebody who just wants a car that you don't see everyday. Maybe you need the perfect vehicle to cruise the boulevard with you and your friends, or you might be looking for something that is good on gas, but is not a boring, dime-a-dozen econo-box. This is the car for you!
This Ghia is powered by a 1914cc air-cooled boxer four motor that gets great gas mileage while still providing ample power to get you down the highway at brisk speeds. The engine is fed by dual Delardo carbs, and starts up to a smooth idle. The Ghia is a rear-wheel drive vehicle that is controlled by an Empi shifter that goes smoothly into all 4 gears. The car sounds great with the Bugpack exhaust installed on it.
This VW turns a lot of heads! Not just because of the unique styling of the Ghia, but also because of the nice paint job. It is a deep, fire engine red that really stands out. The imperfections on the paint and body are a fraction of what you would expect of a car that is 40 years old. The black VW wheels compliment the look of the Ghia, and the tires are in great shape. Rust is a minor issue on this vehicle due to it being a California car. All of the chrome is in good shape, and it does retain all of its emblems. The exterior is a 9 out of 10.
Inside, this VW is pretty much stock except for the CD player that provides your cruising tunes. The front seats provide plenty of support while also being very comfortable, but do have some minor wear as seen in the pictures. The carpet, door paneling, dash, and gauges all look good, but would require some attention if you wanted to completely restore it. The odometer shows 33,633 but has probably flipped since it is only 5 digits. All the glass is good, but the headliner is original and does show wear. Overall, I would rate the interior a 7.5 out of 10.
So don't let your chance to drive a truly rare car at a low price pass you by! Be confident that this car is as described. But please remember, even though this VW is in good shape both mechanically and cosmetically, it is 40 years old and is not perfect. The new owner will be happy with his or her new car. I will answer all questions as quickly as possible. The car is currently registered here in California. Thanks for your consideration!

Lamando is Chinese for VW Jetta CC [w/video]
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volkswagen is not messing around when it characterizes its new MQB architecture as modular. It's already underpinning the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia, and will soon form the basis for many more. And here is the latest.
Unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in China this weekend is the new Volkswagen Lamando, a four-door coupe similar in size to a Jetta but with the svelter roofline of the larger Passat-based CC to go after the Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's essentially the production version of the New Midsize Coupe concept that previewed its arrival at the Beijing Motor Show this past April, and will be built locally for local consumption by VW's joint venture with SAIC.
Power comes from either a 1.4- or 2.0-liter turbo four mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an equivalent price tag below $30,000. Whether this or any similar vehicle ever arrives in North American showrooms remains to be seen, but we'll be watching to find out. In the meantime you can scope it out in the trippy video below and the photos in the gallery above.
World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
