1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Custom Roadster now available with
Gulf Coast Exotic Auto. The body was removed and sandblasted down
to bare metal on this 1966 Karmann Ghia custom roadster. The body
was sent to John Holloway (Holloway Cars) for a two-and-a-half-year
body and paint restoration and was finished in Porsche Miami Blue.
A 1962 Corvette fiberglass cover was modified and adapted with its
original hinges to fit the rear seat area, giving it a Porsche
speedster look. The engine was built by JRC Enterprises in
Paradise, CA, and is upgraded to 2286cc and rated at 140hp. The
transmission was built by Joe Chiro Performance VW and has a taller
second and third gear with a Freeway Flyer fourth gear. Joe Chiro
also did an engine-out modification to the front seal and added an
EMPI sway bar to the rear of the car. Fuel induction is by way of a
pair of Italian Weber 40mm carburetors. It has custom-made exhaust
headers with new mufflers and tailpipes. The chassis with new pans
installed were powder-coated and new drop front spindles were
installed, along with front and rear disc brakes and a set of KYB
shock absorbers. Equipped with adapters to install five-lug factory
Porsche 15-inch Fuchs or 356 chrome wheels, this Ghia also received
all-new cabling, wire loom, a new front windshield and a
retro-looking Bluetooth and USB port stereo. All lights are LED,
and new LED gauges by Speedhut were installed. The interior
features a Race Mark steering wheel re-covered and stitched in
black leather, a rear seat delete metal pan to create a spacious
luggage compartment, German square-weave Charcoal Gray carpet with
custom-made Coco Mats, and a pair of 1968 911 factory seats were
completely rebuilt and installed. The car is capped off with a
silver powder-coated custom roll bar and matching vinyl stripes to
break up the blue paint. Has 750 miles since restoration. For More
