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.
Exterior and Interior
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.

The brakes and the clutch have been reportedly rebuilt, while a recent alignment is said to have been performed.
