Background Story of this 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

Overview of 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was mostly offered in vibrant colors to match its joyful personality. Our subject car also wears an alluring orange paint job, which is reported to be new. Its low-slung shape and long, flowing curves define the Karmann Ghia’s external design. Compared to similar vehicles at the time, it had a more aerodynamic form, giving it a sportier appearance and an advantage in gliding through the air. With its independent rear suspension, the Karmann Ghia was a rather innovative vehicle for its day. This car wears period-correct wheels with VW-stamped hubcaps and new white wall tires to add to its classic demeanor. Inside, passengers find a straightforward but practical cabin with high-quality materials that elegantly represent the car's fundamental design heritage. Thanks to this newly restored interior, the users get to enjoy an updated Bluetooth stereo system and speakers. It features black cloth bucket seats accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels.

Engine

Underneath its stylish exterior, the 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe is modestly powered. The air-cooled 1.6L flat-four engine of our subject car is said to be tuned. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a new four-speed manual transaxle, allowing you to control the power at your will. The owner also reports a new gas tank and suspension ensuring smooth performance and handling.

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.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE

In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
