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.
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.
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 is music to classic car lovers' ears. The history of the Karmann Ghia involved the collaboration of three firms and many individuals. An absolute head-turner from the start, it is utterly unique in the Volkswagen lineup. With the floorpan and mechanicals of VW models, styling by Italy's Carrozzeria Ghia, and hand-built bodywork by German coachbuilding house Karmann, this little car won the hearts of many and even held the title of the fastest Volkswagen during the ‘50s. There were three designations for this model: Type 14, Type 34, and Type 145 TC. What we are focusing on here is a Type 14 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe. With a tuned engine and numerous new parts reported by the current owner, this lovely car is available for sale in California.
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.
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.
