Family-owned since new, this 1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia displays
vibrant red paint across its distinctive curved bodywork. The
unique profile shows off the Italian-influenced German styling that
made these vehicles special among their contemporaries. Chrome
wheels with substantial dog dish hubcaps add a period-correct
appearance while maintaining the stock ride height. The 165/80R15
Nexen tires wrap around the wheels for a balanced look. The front
end features a clean look with round headlights flanking the small
grille, while the back shows off the subtle taillight design unique
to the Karmann Ghia.
Black vinyl covers the interior surfaces throughout this Karmann
Ghia, creating a stark yet appropriate contrast with the exterior
color. The bucket seats offer good support during cornering without
sacrificing comfort on longer drives. An Empi floor shifter puts
the 4-speed manual's gear selection right where you want it. The
dash maintains its original clean design with no added clutter. A
Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit sits in place of the factory radio,
although it currently doesn't seem to have power. The
straightforward layout demonstrates the German approach to
automotive interiors of the era.
Mechanical aspects of this Karmann Ghia include the air-cooled
1600cc flat-four engine connected to a manual 4-speed transmission.
The combination works well on both city streets and open highways.
A new carburetor and aftermarket breather give this boxer engine
added responsiveness. The independent suspension on all four
corners gives good road holding, while the front disc brakes
provide strong stopping power. The dual-to-single-to-dual exhaust
system produces the signature sound expected from an air-cooled
Volkswagen engine.
