Vehicle Description
The stoutness of a Beetle mixed with the flair of an Italian design means this 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is the kind of vehicle that has always been appealing. And this has some standout features like the awesome upholstery, distinct exterior, front disc brakes, and a great-looking powerhouse. So as these further mature into valued classics, finding a quality and affordable one like this is a fleeting proposition.
The Karmann Ghia looks like a million bucks. VW even promoted it as the Italian sports car for the common man. The graceful lines, the muscular curved rear fenders, and the slender pillars that make the roof almost look like it's floating - it's all masterstrokes of '60s design. This one has been freshened as needed, including a later respray. The light olive green retains a good gloss to show off the unique curves, and the shade is the right kind of pastel for a 1960s machine. But despite the delicate color, these cars were built with the same Germanic tightness as the Beetle, so the sheet metal remains strong today. So there are details that add flair, like the nerf bar bumpers and full polish wheels. But what will really attract you is a quality look in the fundamentals, right down to the unique side trim and good weather-stripping.
The interior is one of the most stunning parts of this car. It looks like there has been a large recent investment here to keep the classic style but give you a far fresher feeling. There's a beautiful saddle tan on the seats and doors with a tasteful cream piping. And even the carpets and floor mats are done in similar tones. You'll even love all the original '60s touches, like the Wolfsburg crest dual-spoke steering wheel and gearshift are familiar to classic VW owners. But the Karmann Ghia has a sportier dash setup that includes a wider array of VDO gauges. Even the correct/classic AM radio is still cranking out tunes!
The flat-four motor has the clean look of a well-respected classic. This 1500cc motor has all the correct-looking main components, but you can see a clean/fresher look that suggests the proper maintenance. A hardy powerhouse makes for a good cruiser. And this is one you'll want to drive thanks to features like control of a four-speed manual transmission and the upgraded front end with disc brakes.
For many, these coupes are the most elegant expression of the Karmann Ghia line. So when you can find one that has a great look and a value price. well then, you also know this is a deal that will be going fast. Call today!
