Vehicle Description
4234-PHX 1973 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA CONVERTIBLE
Handcrafted with Italian design flair, the 1973 Volkswagen Karmann
Ghia Convertible wears a vibrant red finish that highlights its
sculpted panels and graceful curves. Aftermarket 15" aluminum
wheels add a custom look to the classic profile. The tan canvas top
folds down for open-air motoring when weather permits and creates a
nice contrast against the red exterior. Each wheel gets wrapped
with 165/80R15 Nitto tires that grip the road while maintaining the
authentic VW road feel and handling characteristics.
Black vinyl covers the interior surfaces, offering both durability
and period-correct aesthetics. Four bucket seats welcome passengers
inside the cabin, with the main controls within easy reach of the
driver position. An SS steering wheel offers improved grip during
cornering maneuvers. Aftermarket tachometers mounted on the
steering column display vital engine information. Black carpet runs
throughout the interior space, completing the factory-inspired
cabin layout while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance.
A 1500 CC air-cooled flat-four (claimed to be upgraded to 1776 CC)
sits in the rear, fed by dual EMPI 2-barrel carburetors for
improved fuel delivery and performance. The 4-speed manual
transmission allows for quick gear changes with its floor-mounted
shifter. Front disc brakes improve stopping ability compared to the
original setup. The suspension employs torsion bars with shocks in
front and a swing axle with radius arms and coil springs in back -
a combination that handles corners with surprising agility for a
car of this vintage.
