A truly innovative and proud vehicle manufacturer is Germany's Volkswagen. Founded in 1937, Volkswagen went on to create one of the best-selling vehicles of all time, the Volkswagen Beetle. After World War II, Volkswagen tapped into the booming luxury/sports market and thus introduced their magnificent Volkswagen Karmann Ghia in 1955. The model went on to sell more than 445000 examples in its production lifespan of 19 years. The Karmann Ghia is a 2+2 sports car produced in coupe and convertible forms. Up for grabs is a 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible restomod car with many new parts and zero mileage on the new engine.
Bahia Red is what this 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible restomod is finished in. The front features a distinctive design where between the two headlights rests the dual grilles in chrome. The turn lights wrap around the sides of the car. The deletion of the front energy-absorbing bumper makes this Karmann Ghia look different. The sides feature a contoured body with the Karmann badge on the bottom of the front side quarter panel. Moving on to the rear, we see that rear bumper deletion is also applied, with the Volkswagen and Karmann Ghia badges present in chrome, plus twin chrome exhaust tailpipe tips. It sits on a set of eight-spoke black and chrome painted wheels with the “Spirit of America” center caps. The convertible top is finished in tan. The bulk of the restomod treatment is for the interior and the mechanicals. The interior is redone in tan and features custom rosewood inserts. The door cards are new and are host to new window cranks in chrome. The seats have been reupholstered, while a new dashboard and a new front window are in place. Other new parts include new carpets, plus soundproofing is reported too.
The seller reports that a new 1,776cc engine has been installed on this 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible restomod along with a new racing 4-speed manual transmission. Mechanical restorations include new brakes and front suspension, new spindles, bearings, tie rod ends, starter, alternator, belts, and tensioners, plus new dual 40mm Kardon carburetors. The brakes and the clutch have been reportedly rebuilt, while a recent alignment is said to have been performed.
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.
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.

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 Volkswagen Beetle is one of those machines whose production numbers are not in the thousands but in the 6-digit range. While it has a long production run across multiple formats, finding a clean example has become more challenging. With clean examples tucked away in collections and most falling prey to age and the aftermarket scene, finding a clean, factory example is a dream for many who want to explore the world of classic Volkswagen charm. Present today is now considered a rare bird and looks like this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle. This clean example is reported to have just 135,000 miles on it over its 50+ year life. Better yet, this machine is also reported to have been garaged or under a carport its entire life to maintain its clean looks. The fun doesn't stop there for those seeking originality; the machines' maintenance is also reported to preserve their original specifications. Included in the sale are a tow bar and lights connector in excellent condition, along with the original owner's manual.
Considered by many to be the best classic car for anyone looking to get into classic cars, the Volkswagen Beetle is a symbol of mobility across the world. Between 1938 and 2003, this happy-faced, bug-eyed machine with its friendly purring air-cooled engine helped countless families get about their daily errands with ease. Over 21 million Beetles were made in total, and when the original finally bowed out of production, many tears were shed. Today, why not celebrate that glorious legacy with this 1968 Volkswagen Beetle from Trinity, Florida? The vehicle has 30,606 miles recorded on the odometer, and looks just as good as it left the showroom floor in 1968.

Made from 1938 until 2003 in multiple countries, over 21 million examples left factories during that time.
