Karmann Ghia VW Convertible: a Fun Car to Drive that is Also Very Collectible The Karmann Ghias are great classic vehicles and fun cars to drive, and our 1971 is no exception.

Paint and Chrome The black re-paint is in good condition with straight and well-aligned body panels. The chrome and stainless are all nice.

Interior The tan vinyl seat upholstery is in good condition as is the rest of the interior including the dash pad. The headliner is nice as well. The black convertible top was recently replaced and nicely compliments the body color. The top has a glass rear window that conveniently drops out of the way for additional ventilation if the top is up. The manually-operated top (they all were) is a one-person operation to lower or raise. Engine/Transaxle The replacement engine together with the transaxle appear to be in good condition.
