Description
This 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia coupe spent time in North Carolina before its 2023 acquisition by the current owner. Powered by an air-cooled 1.6L flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, the car is finished in red over black leatherette upholstery. It also has adjustable pushrod tubes, a vented decklid, a driver-side mirror, pop-out rear quarter windows, aftermarket LED headlights, front disc brakes, 15″ aftermarket wheels, and a wooden shift knob. Work since 2024 has included adjusting the valve clearances, retrofitting an alternator, repairing various wiring, and replacing the carburetor, oil sump gasket, fuel sending unit, battery cables, and intake and valve cover gaskets. Previously offered on BaT in August 2026 , this Karmann Ghia coupe is offered again at no reserve by K2 Motorcars, a BaT Local Partner , on consignment with service records and a Florida title in the owner’s name. The car is finished in red, and the selling dealer notes evidence of paintwork under previous ownership. Exterior details include a vented decklid, pop-out rear quarter windows, aftermarket LED headlights, bright bumpers with overriders, and a driver-side mirror. The right-rear brake light wiring was repaired in February 2024, and the reverse lights do not work.
