Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible, Upgraded Engine/suspension, Great Driver on 2040-cars

Driver Condition 

Upgraded Ghia Convertible

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 

VEHICLE HISTORY:   The current owner has enjoyed this Ghia convertible for almost 10 years.  He drove it regularly during the summer months and stored it during the winters.  It was restored and upgraded prior to his purchase.  The engine is upgraded with a Weber 32/36 DFA 2BBL carburetor, a Bosch 009 centrifugal advance distributor and a performance oil pump with a spin-on oil filter.  The suspension is upgraded with Bilstein gas shocks and a rear sway bar. The interior is upgraded with a wood steering wheel and a custom additional 4-gauge panel below the dash (engine temp, volt meter, cylinder head temp, oil pressure).  It drives, performs, and handles very nicely.  His business is requiring more of his time in the summers, and he does not have the time to enjoy it like he did.  So, it is time for a new owner to enjoy the summertime top-down driving fun.  

This is a very nice red convertible to be enjoyed and driven.  It is mechanically sound, and with a new set of rubber, it would be good to go.  With the recent service, it’s the perfect red convertible to cruise in this summer!  

MARQUE HISTORY:  The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (Type 14) was produced from 1956 through 1974.  Its voluptuous body was penned by design powerhouse Ghia in Turin, Italy, and the coachwork was hand built by renowned German firm Karmann. The end result was a low-slung 2+2 coupe with a curvaceous rear fender and proportionate front and rear ends.  

Total convertible production for all years was 80,899 with only 5,567 produced for the 1971 model year.  The 1971 models were the last to have the smaller, more attractive bumpers.
