This 1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was acquired by the seller 29 years ago and is powered by a replacement dual-port 1,600cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. The car is finished in orange over black vinyl and features a Sony cassette stereo, a wood-trimmed dashboard, bumpers with overriders, and bodyside moldings. An oil change and tire rotation were performed in May 2021.
The car was refinished in its original shade of orange in 2005, and prior body repairs above the left rear wheel well were reportedly addressed at that time.
Steel 15″ wheels wear polished factory hubcaps and are wrapped in 165HR15 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires that were mounted in 2010 and rotated in May 2021.
The interior was refreshed during current ownership and is upholstered in black vinyl with matching door panels and salt-and-pepper carpets. Replacement wood trim lines the dashboard, and a Sony cassette stereo has been added.
A two-spoke steering wheel with a Wolfsburg crest horn button frames a 90-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer has rolled over at least once and indicates 3,500 miles. Approximately 50k miles have been added by the seller, though true mileage is unknown.
The replacement 1,600cc dual-port flat-four was reportedly sourced from a 1973 Super Beetle and installed under previous ownership. The battery was replaced in February 2020 and an oil change was performed in May 2021.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle.
Spare parts accompany the car along with service records, a tool kit, and factory literature.
