Volkswagen released the handsome Karmann Ghia model in 1955 as a sporty alternative to the practical and frugal Beetle. Nevertheless, the Karmann Ghia wasn't intended to be an expensive, fussy, and high-strung sports car. Instead, it offered the same level of dependable motoring as the Beetle. Unsurprisingly, over 500,000 were made; the bulk of which was built in Germany, but a small percentage saw birth in Brazil. This 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Cabriolet has reportedly been restored and bears 90,000 miles on its odometer. If you want an analog, no-frills, drop-top sports car that will fill your heart with joy without denting your wallet at the pumps, this is the way to go about it.
Exterior and Interior
Penned by famed Italian design house Carrozzeria Ghia, it's no surprise that this 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Cabriolet looks absolutely stunning in its dark green paintwork. It has a contrasting tan convertible top, period correct wheels, and reportedly sports new tires. All badging appears in place, including the stylized 'Karmann Ghia' script on the engine cover. Venturing into the car, you're greeted by a tan interior with two low-back seats in tan leather and Karmann Ghia embossed carpets in a darker hue. We also observe what appear to be aftermarket pedal covers, as well as an enhanced sound system with new speakers in the front footwells. The current owner reports that the head unit is Bluetooth capable, so you aren't totally cut off from the 21st century. Don't expect anything else, like air conditioning, power adjustable seats or electric windows; everything else is old-school. There's some space behind the seats for your luggage, as well as a front trunk or frunk.
Engine
Pop the rear engine cover and you'll find a 1,584cc Beetle engine merrily humming away. Volkswagen's air-cooled flat-four is one of the simplest and easiest to maintain, replete with its characterful engine note. You can tell a Volkswagen (usually a Beetle) is coming along just on sound alone. On this 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible, its modest 60hp of power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The current owner reports the presence of two 500-amp boosters, and that the engine has received a recent tune-up.
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia has long been admired for blending dependable German engineering with elegant Italian styling. Penned by Carrozzeria Ghia and hand-assembled by Karmann, it offered sports car looks while retaining the reliability and simplicity of the legendary Beetle. This 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe carries on that legacy, showing 155,708 miles and delivering the unmistakable charm that has made air-cooled Volkswagens favorites among collectors for decades. Finished in Cherry Red over a Black interior, this classic is equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and even features a period General Electric CB radio, making it a nostalgic cruiser that’s equally enjoyable at local cars & coffee events or weekend drives.
The 70s were all about peace, love, and good times. One manufacturer who perfectly captured the times through mechanical symphony was none other than Volkswagen. A quick trip down memory lane and the range of machines leaving factory floors, which included the legendary Beetle and Karmann ghia gave its custodians the chance to explore peace and love with every drive out. Present today is the latter, and a great example of it as well. Hailing from Casper, Wyoming, this 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a machine far from the expensive classic-car life portrayed; it is simple motoring that provides smiles per gallon and looks great doing so.
Volkswagens of today are true feats of engineering; they are the golden standard across multiple segments of buyers. This superior feat is nothing short of amazing and places itself as a serious contender, be it a hot hatch eating up sports cars or even high-end hypercars flying underneath another banner. Turn back the clock, and this seriousness was not apparent. Back in the 60s and 70s, Volkswagen was a brand that was the golden standard of its time, plus being an automaker that had soul and color. This may be a statement many don't agree with, but this 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia we have today might make you think about it. This classic German beauty has a reported over 75,000 miles on its clock and stems from a time when Volkswagen was all about peace, love, and good drives.
This 1974 Volkswagen Beetle takes the familiar simplicity of the classic Type 1 and adds a thoroughly personalized performance and refresh story.

Its documented refresh work from 2006 through 2009 included media blasting, suspension-related work, interior refurbishment, and sound-deadening material, giving this Beetle a much more developed presentation than a basic cosmetic makeover.
The 1977 Volkswagen Type 2 Riviera Camper captures the appeal of vintage Volkswagen travel culture with a practical camper conversion built around the iconic Bay Window platform.

Its camper configuration includes a rear sleeping area, patterned cloth rear bench upholstery, wood interior paneling, insulated rear quarters, and an auxiliary electrical setup, giving it the character of a true period-style adventure vehicle rather than a standard passenger van.
