THIS AUCTION IS FOR A WONDERFULLY RESTORED 1970 CLASSIC VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEW PAINT, NEW MOTOR, NEW INTERIOR NEW WHEELS AND TIRES AND IT RUNS AND DRIVES AWESOME. I AM SELLING THIS VEHICLE FOR A FRIEND OF MINE WHO I HAVE KNOWN FOR 25 PLUS YEARS. I OWN A COMPANY WHERE WE CUSTOMIZE AND RESTORE VEHICLES AND WE HAVE A HUGE SELECTION OF CLASSIC VOLKSWAGENS. MY FRIEND BOUGHT THIS CAR AT A HIGH END CLASSIC CAR AUCTION AND DROVE IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND ASKED ME TO HELP HIM SELL IT ON EBAY BECAUSE HE IS READY NOW FOR A VW BUS AND HE CAN'T AFFORD BOTH OR AT LEAST HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE BOTH. THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY WITH ME AND WILL STAY WITH ME UNTIL IT IS SOLD. I HAVE THE CAR STORED IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED WAREHOUSE WHERE I STORE SEVERAL OF MY PERSONAL CLASSIC CARS AND IT IS COMPLETELY SAFE UNDER LOCK AND KEY. I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF DRIVING THIS CAR SEVERAL MILES BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AND IT RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FROM MY OFFICE TO MY HOME WHICH IS OVER 20 MILES ON FREEWAY AND IT RUNS ALONG WITH TRAFFIC EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. WE ARE NOT THE COMPANY THAT DID THE RESTORATION OR REBUILD ON THIS VEHICLE BUT I AM WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THE MOTOR 110% I HAD OUR VW TECH PULL THE MOTOR AND RUN THROUGH THE MOTOR AND EVEN RUN IT ON A STAND FOR OVER 30 MINUTES SO WE COULD INSURE THAT IT WAS A ROADWORTHY MOTOR AND IT IS. THE STORY I WAS TOLD BY MY FRIEND IS THAT THE CAR WAS RESTORED BY A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP IN 2011 FOR THE CLIENT HE PURCHASED IT FROM. HE SPENT OVER 25OOO ON THE PROJECT AND ONLY KEPT IT FOR 1 YEAR BEFORE SELLING IT AT AUCTION TO MY FRIEND. THE EXTERIOR PAINT SHINES VERY NICE AND HAS A CUSTOM 2 TONE ORANGE BODY WITH GLOSS BLACK ROOF. THEY DID A NICE JOB OF TAKING THE CAR APART WHEN PAINTING TO ENSURE COLOR IN ENGINE BAY UNDER FRONT HOOD AND IN DOOR JAMBS. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF ANY RUST WHATSOEVER. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH ALL OF THE RUBBER TRIM AND SEALS WERE REPLACED AND MUCH OF THE ALUMINUM AND STAINLESS TRIM ALSO LOOKS TO BE NEW OR RESTORED. THE BUMPERS ARE THE CLASSIC OVER RIDER STYLE BUMPERS AND THEY ARE SHOW QUALITY. THE LIGHTS ALL WORK PERFECT AND ALSO APPEAR TO BE BRAND NEW. THE DOORS SHUT NICE AND LINE UP PERFECT. THE INTERIOR IS VERY NICE AND ALSO BRAND NEW. NEW GERMAN LOOP STYLE CARPET IN A LIGHT TAN COLOR, 2 TONE TAN SEATS LOOK BRAND NEW FRONT AND REAR, THE HEADLINER IS PERFORATED BLACK VINYL AND IS ALSO NEW. THE DOOR PANELS MATCH THE SEATS PERFECT AND FIT VERY WELL. THE DASH IS OBVIOUSLY BRAND NEW AS IS THE FRONT WOODGRAIN OVERLAY AND BLACK RUBBER KNEE GUARD. I HAVE SUGGESTED HE ADDS THE BAMBOO PACKAGE TRAY UNDER THE DASH FOR A COOL VINTAGE LOOK. ( A 250.00 UPGRADE) THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE VERY TIGHT AND THE CAR STARTS INSTANTLY WITH ONE TURN OF THE KEY. THE CAR SHIFTS PERFECT THROUGH ALL GEARS CLUTCH FEELS GREAT AND BRAKES ARE PERFECT. THE CAR DOES HAVE FRONT DISC BRAKES AND THEY WORK EXCELLENT.
