Immaculately preserved and under the devoted care of a single owner since 1983, this Ghia is a testament to Volkswagen’s iconic design and precision engineering.
Crafted in Osnabruck, West Germany in March 1970, this Karmann Ghia stands apart with its distinctive manufacturing process. Unlike the Beetle’s machine-welded body, the Ghia’s panels were meticulously butt-welded, hand-shaped, and smoothed with English pewter – a process befitting higher-end manufacturers. The result is a higher-priced marvel that continues to captivate enthusiasts.
Cloaked in Bahia Red (code L30E), the paint and trim exhibit an overall excellence. Straight and solid bodywork, coupled with well-preserved chrome bumpers, highlights the timeless elegance of the Ghia. The cargo area and engine bay reflect meticulous care, emphasizing the Ghia’s enduring appeal.
Rolling on older white stripe, bias-ply tires, size 6.00-15L, mounted on steel wheels crowned with full factory wheel covers, this Ghia exudes a classic charm. The 1.6L flat, air-cooled four-cylinder engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission, promises an engaging driving experience. Noteworthy features include factory air-conditioning and front disc brakes, enhancing both comfort and performance.
Inside, the black vinyl interior seamlessly complements the exterior, creating an ambiance of timeless sophistication. Well-maintained front buckets, a rear bench, matching carpet, and a neutral-shaded headliner contribute to the Ghia’s overall excellence. The two-spoke steering wheel, original VDO gauges on the dash, and a floor-mounted shifter embody a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics.
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, designated the Type 14, stands as a harmonious fusion of the Beetle’s mechanical prowess and Carrozzeria Ghia’s distinctive styling. In 1970, the Ghia’s larger taillights and wrap-around turn signals further accentuated its timeless design.
As a contemporary to iconic competitors, the Ghia held its ground with grace and style. This Ghia invites you to revel in its legacy, where each detail tells a story of enduring elegance and timeless appeal that has transcended decades.
