The 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible is a blend of classic
European style and thoughtful American muscle under its sleek
Firethorn Red paint. This particular Ghia sports a Flat Six engine
borrowed from a Chevy Corvair, delivering an unmistakable rumble
that sets it apart from the crowd. Its past is enriched by an
overhaul completed in 2010 with a recent 2024 upgrade to Holley
Sniper electronic fuel injection, making this convertible a unique
driver's classic. If you crave a distinctive open-air cruiser with
a spirited heartbeat, this Karmann Ghia demands your attention.
Step inside and you're greeted by a cabin that mixes vintage charm
with subtle upgrades. The white vinyl bucket seats offer a
comfortable embrace, complemented by an aftermarket steering wheel
that feels just right in your hands. The dash, while showing minor
character, keeps classic gauges clear and functional. All glass and
seals are in good condition, and the manual convertible top adds a
tactile connection to the open road, wrapped in quality black
canvas that holds its shape beautifully.
This Karmann Ghia's heart is a 164ci Flat Six engine from a Chevy
Corvair. The Holley Sniper EFI system ensures reliable fuel
delivery while the custom exhaust with stainless steel Flowmaster
mufflers and headers delivers a deep, throaty note that any
enthusiast will appreciate. Power flows through a smooth 4-speed
manual transmission paired with a Kennedy Stage 2 clutch, giving
you control and confidence. The manual steering and disc brakes at
all four wheels provide a connected, responsive driving experience
that honors the car's sporty roots.
