1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible
Longing for the days when driving was simple and engaging? This 1974 Karmann Ghia convertible delivers exactly that—along with a generous dose of pure, analog fun.
A collaboration between Volkswagen, Karmann, and Italian design house Ghia, this car embodies mid-century motoring elegance in compact form. The Karmann Ghia’s timeless shape, penned by Italian designer Ghia and hand-assembled by the craftsmen at Karmann, still turns heads after fifty years. Its clean, sculpted lines and hand-finished details remind us that simplicity can be beautiful.
This charming VW offers everything you need and nothing you don’t. Slip behind the wheel and you’ll find only the essentials: a handful of gauges, a crisp manual gearbox, and an eager air-cooled flat-four engine waiting to come alive. Drop the manual top, turn the key, and experience the kind of unfiltered connection between car and driver that modern vehicles have long since forgotten.
Karmann Ghia convertibles have become increasingly scarce. In over two decades of offering classic cars and trucks, this is only the second convertible Ghia we’ve had the pleasure to present. With seating for four, straightforward maintenance, readily available VW parts, and timeless styling, the Karmann Ghia remains one of the most accessible and enjoyable entries into the world of vintage motoring.
