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 '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.

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.
The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
The golden era of muscle cars is widely thought to have peaked around the late ’60s and early ’70s. It was the time before stricter emissions and economic regulations came into play that put an end to the ever-swelling engine capacities and power outputs that manufacturers used to lure customers into their showrooms. The 1969 Pontiac GTO Coupe defined this golden era. With its stunning and aggressive design and scarcely believable engine configurations under the hood, the GTO is a true muscle car in every sense of the word. Our featured vehicle celebrates this era of design and power. It comes with the iconic 400 ci engine that has been freshly rebuilt, along with a host of new parts and accessories, enabling you to taste the best of the original muscle car era.
