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.
Exterior and Interior
A curvaceous design done right was mostly reserved for Porsche, that is, until the Karmann Ghia came into the picture. This 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia sports a British racing green exterior and is a machine that deserves a look back every time you park it. If you do decide to take a closer look, you would find that the exterior is in excellent shape, its chrome shines, and subtle features like color-matched components make this machine a delight to witness up close. For wheels, you will find a set of aftermarket wheels finished in gold. Forget large LED screens and the modern-day perception of “driver engagement”, this 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia features a gray interior cabin that is nothing short of old-school practicality and luxury. Step into the reupholstered gray tweed seats and subtle upgrades like the EMPI aftermarket steering wheel and an aftermarket Sony sound system come into view.
Engine
When you think of performance-derived rear-engined air-cooled performance, one automatically thinks of a Porsche; the Karmann Ghia brings most of what a Porsche of the time could, minus the tax of owning one. Make your way to the rear of this 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, and what you will find is an air cooled 1600cc 4 Cylinder Engine thumping away, ready for its next adventure. The current owner reports front disc brakes for better braking performance and independent suspension with front torsion bars and rear swing axles providing a refined drive feel. This German classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission.
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia has long been admired for blending dependable German engineering with elegant Italian styling.

Finished in Cherry Red over a Black interior, this classic is equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and even features a period General Electric CB radio, making it a nostalgic cruiser that’s equally enjoyable at local cars & coffee events or weekend drives.

Volkswagens of today are true feats of engineering; they are the golden standard across multiple segments of buyers.

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.
