This 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a true rarity - a one-owner vehicle purchased new in Germany and imported to Arizona in 1974. The Lotus White exterior showcases the Ghia's iconic curves and sleek design. Chrome bumpers and hubcaps accent the classic lines, while 15-inch wheels wrapped in 165/80R15 tires provide a solid stance. The front and rear deck lids exemplify the precision German craftsmanship that made these cars legendary. A subtle touch of modernity comes from the tinted windows, .....
enhancing both aesthetics and comfort in the Arizona heat.
Open the door to discover an interior that blends vintage style with custom touches. A unique brown and white cloth pattern adorns the front bucket seats and rear bench, adding character to the cabin. Tan vinyl door cards complement the seating, with the driver's side featuring a convenient map pocket. The floor showcases a two-tone carpet design - black in front transitioning to burgundy in the rear. A factory-style radio head unit pairs with Blaupunkt speakers for an authentic audio experience. The dash houses original gauges for fuel, speed, and time, protected by a cloth mat. Overhead, a white perforated vinyl headliner completes the period-correct ambiance.
The rear-mounted 1600cc flat-four engine, a VW replacement case, delivers reliable performance through a single two-barrel carburetor. Power flows to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle, offering direct control over the driving experience. The classic VW independent suspension with swing arm setup ensures a comfortable ride. Stopping power comes from drum brakes at all four corners. A single muffler with dual exhaust tips provides a subtle sporty note. For dependable starts, a new Optima Red Top battery was recently installed.
