Vehicle Description
More than 445,000 Karmann Ghias were produced from 1955-1974 in
German. This does not include Brazilian built cars that totaled
near 50,000. The Ghia had strong design influence from Carrozzeria
Ghia from Italy but were all hand built by coahbuiler Karmann. The
VW Karmann Ghia is listed as one of the worlds most beautifully
designed automobiles by industrial designer Walter Teague. They
were essentially a fancy body put on the chassis of the VW Beetle.
Nonetheless they have quite the following. This particular 74 Model
is the last year and with that it was offered only as a two-seater
both in the convertible and coupe, this would be the only and last
year as the rest were all 4-seat cars. This car is in great running
and driving condition with an old re-spray. The interior is
original and has the wear and tear you would expect as does the top
but functioning. Everything works including the radio and lights,
the car starts and goes down the road nicely. This is an excellent
driver and I would consider this car a 10-footer. Paint is
manageable but not a show car. Car has had regular service and good
winter storage. There is rust in the floors and battery tray but
again, manageable and drivable as is.
