This 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a red-over-black convertible that was acquired in 2021 and subsequently repainted. Power is provided by a 1.5-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and additional equipment includes a black soft top, a luggage rack, chrome bumpers, 15″ wheels with chrome hubcaps, and a factory push-button AM/FM radio. Work under prior ownership included an engine rebuild, and following my acquisition the front brake calipers, carburetor, and ignition components were replaced. This Karmann Ghia is offered with manufacturer’s literature, a tool roll, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name. The car was repainted in its current shade of red in 2022. Features include a black soft top with a glass rear window, chrome bumpers with overriders, bright trim, dual exhaust outlets, and a rear luggage rack.Gray 15″ steel wheels wear VW-branded chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 165-width Reliant Metric Radial tires. The car was factory-equipped with independent rear suspension and front disc brakes. The interior features front bucket seats and a folding rear bench upholstered in black vinyl and joined by a color-coordinated dashboard pad, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes a heater and defroster, manually operated windows, and a factory Sapphire XII push-button AM/FM radio. A two-spoke steering wheel with a Wolfsburg crest horn button frames a 90-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and an analog clock.The 1.5-liter flat-four was refurbished approximately 15k miles ago in 2015, and recent service includes an oil change along with replacing the carburetor, oil sump and screen, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, intake hose, air filter, fuel pump, and battery. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
