Regarded by many as one of Volkswagen's most aesthetically pleasing offerings, the Karmann Ghia stood as a distinct departure from the Beetle's appearance while sharing more commonalities beneath the surface than differences. This harmonious creation emerged from the collaborative endeavors of three notable entities, each contributing to the vehicle's name. Volkswagen, the driving force behind the project, entrusted the esteemed Italian design firm Carrozzeria Ghia with shaping the car's form. In turn, coachbuilding company Ghia took on the responsibility of constructing this automobile, further cementing its reputation as a prominent player of that era. Today, we present the opportunity to acquire a 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, a vehicle that embodies this intriguing history. The current owner attests to a comprehensive refinishing process, encompassing both its exterior and interior, resulting in a renewed visual allure. Imposing an even more irresistible proposition, the odometer indicates a mere 17,000 miles of travel, a testament to its remarkably low usage over the years.
The 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, a car of such historical prominence, finds its perfect visual counterpart in a vibrant shade of red. This choice of color seamlessly encapsulates the vehicle's distinctive character. As indicated by the owner, the car now boasts new lights, imparting a remarkably crisp and pristine appearance to the lenses. Mounted on the vehicle are a set of aftermarket aluminum sport wheels, adorned with generously profiled tires that not only enhance its aesthetics but also imbue it with a robust and commanding stance that complements its iconic cab-forward design. Accentuating the rear are four exhaust pipes, a visual cue that anticipates the pleasant hum of the Volkswagen air-cooled flat-four engine. Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by an inviting cabin adorned in matching red upholstery. The interior accommodates two low-back bucket seats for the driver and front passenger, alongside a rear bench seat. While modest by contemporary standards, the cabin design was thoughtfully conceived for its era. Instrumentation comprises a 120mph speedometer, a clock, and additional gauges. Practicality is well accounted for with a net-style parcel shelf supplementing the glovebox, while front seat occupants benefit from the presence of seat belts for enhanced safety. Positioned in the front compartment, commonly referred to as the "frunk," lies a small storage space along with the spare wheel, further emphasizing the Karmann Ghia's clever utilization of space.
Under the rear hood of the 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia resides a 1.6L air-cooled flat-four engine, a mechanical heart closely related to the Beetle of its time. Notably, this engine has undergone an extensive rebuilding and tuning process, ensuring its performance and reliability are at their optimal levels. A significant improvement is the inclusion of a Dual Vacuum Advanced Distributor, a modification aimed at eradicating any flat spots in the acceleration curve, thus enhancing the driving experience. This rejuvenated power source propels the car's rear wheels via a meticulously calibrated four-speed manual transmission. Moreover, it's worth noting that the vehicle's electrical system has been meticulously overhauled to adhere to the precise specifications of the factory harness wiring, an endeavor that underlines the dedication to preserving the authenticity and functionality of this classic automobile.
The '60s was a time for peace and love. What's the perfect machine to replicate this feeling? Volkswagen and its line of air-cooled machines. Built to evoke the sense of traveling further and freely, being behind the wheel of a '60s Volkswagen is an experience to treasure, especially if it's this 1963 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe we have today.

By its third generation, the Chevrolet Corvette was already a well-known icon within the landscape of American motoring. The C3, introduced in 1968, retained its sleek and muscular appearance, adding a few more curves to the design, with a bit of European flair injected into its philosophy. It was still distantly Corvette. The C3 was also the first model to introduce a Targa top to its coupe models, a feature that would remain a popular element that reappeared over the ensuing generations. The C3 was also the first Corvette to serve as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500—the first in a long tradition of Corvette pace cars that would appear for the iconic race. Our featured car is a 1975 Chevrolet Corvette with the 350ci V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission, and features a few choice performance upgrades.
When the 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe was first introduced, their commercials referred to it as a completely new look that time can not wash away. Sure enough, even after a number of decades, the Chevrolet Impala remains a car that is accepted to be beautiful from every angle. Another interesting fact about the 1965 model year is that they improved the Jet Smooth Ride with a new chassis and suspension design and made it standard equipment in every model. To this day, its ability to make you feel like you are hovering above potholes is said to surpass the comfort of contemporary city cars. This 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe, with a recently installed engine, bears only 1,000 miles on the clock.
There are few cars that can embed themselves into popular culture the way the achingly beautiful third-generation Chevrolet Impala has. The model featured many design flourishes that epitomized the ’50s and ‘60s, including the car’s long and flowing lines, low roof, lashing of chrome, wrap-around windshield, and distinctive c-pillar design. The car we offer for sale here takes the traditional Impala recipe and adds so much more. Under the hood, you’ll find a modern GM LS V8 engine, which just so happens to have a supercharger strapped to it for good measure. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS restomod has undergone an extensive restoration and features a host of new parts and upgraded tech. It could be yours, with just 2,500 miles recorded since the restoration was completed.
