Introducing this 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible, a classic air-cooled Volkswagen that has recently come out of storage in California. This iconic model offers a great opportunity to own one of the most stylish Volkswagens ever built, combining elegant Italian-inspired design with Volkswagens well-known German engineering and simplicity.
Highlights: - California Car - 4-Speed Manual Transmission - 1600cc Dual-Port Air-Cooled Flat-Four Engine - Single-Barrel Carburetor - Front Wheel Disc Brakes - Convertible Soft Top - Classic VDO Instrumentation - Wrap-Around Front Turn Signals - Chrome Bumpers with Overriders - Volkswagen-Branded Hub Caps
Equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission paired to a carbureted 1600cc dual-port air-cooled flat-four engine, front disc brakes, dual exhaust outlets, chrome bumpers with overriders, VDO gauges, a classic 2-spoke steering wheel, and a floor-mounted shifter. Riding on 15-inch steel wheels with Volkswagen chrome hubcaps, it also includes a full-size spare tire. The interior features front bucket seats, dual side mirrors, map pockets, an AM/FM radio with a fender-mounted antenna, and a glove box for added convenience and period-correct charm.
The Karmann Ghia was hand-assembled by coachbuilder Karmann in Germany and styled by Italys Carrozzeria Ghia, making it one of the few Volkswagens with true coachbuilt roots. Despite its elegant looks, it shares much of its mechanical DNA with the Beetle, which means parts availability remains excellent today. Convertibles are especially desirable, as they were produced in far lower numbers than coupes and are increasingly hard to find in restorable condition.
This is a non-running project car with a lot of potential, ideal for full restoration, and represents a great chance to bring a timeless, design-driven Volkswagen back to life at an accessible price point. For $9,750
