This 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible is finished in blue over cream vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 1.6L air-cooled flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a black soft top, chrome bumpers and trim, 15” steel wheels with chrome VW-branded hubcaps, dual side mirrors, rubberized floor mats, and an AM/FM radio with an auxiliary input.
Styled by Carrozzeria Ghia, the car’s bodywork was hand-built by German coachbuilding house Karmann. The seller states the nose section was replaced under previous ownership, and the car was subsequently refinished in blue. Features include a black convertible top, a matching top boot, dual side mirrors, chrome bumpers and trim, Karmann Ghia badging, and polished dual exhaust outlets. The front and rear turn signals are said to have been recently replaced.
Steel 15″ wheels are fitted with chrome VW hubcaps and wear 185/65 Michelin X Tour A/S tires showing 2019 date codes. A matching spare mounted with a Continential tire is stowed in the front trunk, and stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.
The high-back bucket seats are upholstered in cream vinyl with matching door panels and are joined by a body-color dashboard and beige carpets. Equipment includes door pockets, manual-crank windows, rubberized floor mats, a dashboard-mounted windshield washer switch, and an AM/FM radio with an auxiliary input. The seller states the upper and lower dashboard pads, window scrapers, door panels, seat covers and cushions, and radio were replaced under current ownership.
A four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer and an analog clock that is said to have been rebuilt. The five-digit odometer shows 82k miles.
The 1.6L air-cooled flat-four was overhauled under prior ownership and features a single carburetor that is said to have been rebuilt. The seller states the valves were checked and an oil change was performed in preparation for sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The fuel tank, muffler, and exhaust outlets are said to have been replaced.
