1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Custom on 2040-cars

For sale is my 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia custom convertible. It was purchased as a project that never got quite finished. Unfortunately, I have to sell due to relocation. It’s had a lot of work done on it, both inside and out making it a one-of-a-kind find. There’s barely been a bolt that hasn’t been touched on this and it’s been a labor of love for a while. Body has been professionally stripped and painted in dark eggplant. The interior inside has been POR15’d but is relatively untrimmed.

1914cc racing engine professionally assembled with dual weber carbs and tuned Unilite distributor. I have installed a classic Porsche shifter and 5-speed transmission with new cvs and axles. 75w 12v alternator installed for remote door poppers, power windows and other accessories. The top was chopped, doors and exterior shaved. It sits low and handles like a speedster.

It’s currently been in storage since I stopped working on it a few years ago (new job) and has been waiting to be delivered to someone that can give it the attention it needs. However, it requires some work to get 100%. Most of the work is cosmetic or to undo the few years of inattention - I really wanted to get it to the point of being driven so before I moved it started and ran like a champ. I have tried to represent this vehicle to the best of my ability, but prospective bidders are encouraged to contact me. I have prepared a detailed spec sheet explaining the car’s condition, components and history, and can send you a copy via Email. I will be happy to answer any questions and send more pictures to interested parties. I'm not responsible for any unexpected perceptions of the car due to a buyer not asking questions about its condition.
