To capitalize on the Beetle's popularity, Volkswagen introduced the sporty Karmann Ghia at the 1953 Paris Auto Show. With a rear-mounted 4 cylinder and many of the Beetle's proven mechanicals, the car was economical and durable. The real attraction was the style of the bodywork by the Italian outfit, Ghia, and the renowned coachwork of Karmann. The unique styling turns heads today. With easy to find parts and a massive community, these vehicles are growing in popularity every day. The 1974 Karmann Ghia offered here is a lovely example that has been owned by our selling client for over 12 years. It is finished in Carmine Red over black interior and powered by its 1600cc engine, 4 speed manual transmission and rear wheel drive. It has been consistently maintained and used as a summer driver.
