1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

For twenty years, Volkswagen built and marketed the Karmann Ghia sports car with joint collaboration with Italian Ghia for styling and coachbuiler Karmann for assembly. The Karmann Ghia would be just the second passenger vehicle ever to be produced by Volkswagen after the Beetle which was a over twenty years prior. There would be two types of Karmann Ghias, the type 14 and 34 and would be different styling depending on which corner of the world you are in. There was a total of about 450,000 units sold worldwide with only about 80,000 total convertible or cabriolets. This particular stunning example is finished in a not so common color of black over black with a nice newer top. The engine and transmission have been built and the car has been lowered. The paint still shines nicely, the interior is clean, a very tidy engine and frunk complartment. The VW starts easy, idles instantly, does not leak or smoke and goes down the road very nice and smooth. Guages and lights work and would make someone a really cool cruiser or local car show favorite. We welcome any questions or inspections here in our Traverse City location.
