Meet the 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia-VW's lithe, coach-built coupe
that mixed German bones with Italian suit. Hand-finished by Karmann
and penned by Ghia, the Ghia was always scarcer than its Beetle
sibling and bowed out after 1974, making this '73 a sought-after
late-production example with that timeless low-slung profile and
crisp character lines.
Pop the rear deck and you'll find the classic flat-four reimagined:
the original 1600cc has been rebuilt and punched out to 1835cc,
breathing stronger and revving happier. It's paired to a 4-speed
manual and an EMPI shifter that snicks through the gates with
purpose-light, mechanical, and exactly what you want in a driver's
Ghia. The car's stance and soundtrack are pure air-cooled attitude
without losing daily usability.
Finished in bold Red over a clean Black cabin, this coupe nails the
details. The turn signals are integrated into the headlights for a
sleek, de-cluttered nose, and the bumper delete sharpens the
silhouette so the bodywork does the talking-long hood, tight
overhangs, and that signature rear haunch.
Inside, it's classic VW with smart upgrades where they count. A
RetroSound aftermarket radio brings modern tunes without spoiling
the period vibe, while a center console with cupholders adds
real-world comfort for coffee runs and weekend cruises.
If you know the story, you know why these cars are special: fewer
built, crafted by hand, and the penultimate model year of an icon.
This Karmann Ghia serves up vintage style and lively 1835cc
punch-ready to turn a quick errand into the best 15 minutes of your
day.
