This 1965 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a 2+2 coupe that was acquired by the seller in 2006, reportedly from its original owner. The car is finished in white over a tan interior and powered by a 1.2-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes color-matched steel wheels, chrome bumpers and wheel covers, a luggage rack, a dual-outlet exhaust system, and three-point seatbelts. Work since 2020 has included an engine rebuild.
The car is finished in white and features a roof-mounted luggage rack, a dual-exit exhaust system, and bright-finished elements that include a driver-side mirror, front grilles, bumpers, and trim.
Color-matched 15″ steel wheels wear staggered-width Nankang tires and feature chrome wheel covers, one of which shows orange peel in the finish. The front ride height is said to been lowered using drop spindles.
The cabin features tan vinyl upholstery on the front bucket and folding rear bench seats as well as matching trim on the door panels and square-weave carpets. Additional appointments include a black dash pad, a heater, chrome door trim, and three-point seatbelts for the front seats.
An ivory-colored steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation that includes a 90-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a fuel level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 43k miles.
The air-cooled 1.2L flat-four was rebuilt by Tom’s Foreign Autohouse of Temecula, California in July 2020. Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
An owner’s manual along with dealership sales literature and 1965 sales documentation are included in the sale.
