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.
Engine
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.
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.
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 Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most recognizable automobiles ever produced, with a legacy spanning decades and millions of units sold worldwide.

The classic air-cooled driving experience remains intact, while the refreshed cabin adds a custom touch that enhances both comfort and presentation.

The Volkswagen Type 2 is one of the most recognizable vehicles ever produced, symbolizing freedom, adventure, and a carefree lifestyle for generations of enthusiasts. By 1977, the Bay Window Transporter had evolved into a more refined and capable vehicle while retaining the unmistakable character that made it a cultural icon. Showing 149,097 miles, this 1977 Volkswagen Transporter stands out with its attractive Marino Yellow and Pastel White two-tone exterior, restored interior, and tasteful upgrades.

There are custom builds, and then there are machines like this. This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod shows just 710 miles and represents a complete reimagination of one of the most recognizable economy cars ever built. Far removed from its humble air-cooled origins, this Beetle has been transformed into a full custom hot rod powered by a Chevrolet LT1 V8, riding on a tubular chassis, and engineered with hardware more commonly found in purpose-built performance cars. From its chopped roofline and wide rear stance to its remote-controlled suicide doors and bespoke interior, this is a build created to command attention wherever it goes. The title carries a rebuilt designation noted in title history, which should be fully disclosed, but this vehicle’s appeal lies in its craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and sheer uniqueness rather than originality.
