1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible! In the mid-50s Volkswagen was looking to make a statement with a new car. Initially called the Type 14 it would take the chassis and mechanicals from the Type 1 Beetle and the body would be styled by Carrozzeria Ghia and built by Karmann. Over the course of nearly 20 years production would pump out nearly half a million Ghias in Germany. Here we have a '73 model and wow she is sharp! This car has an incredible build, more on that shortly. The green paint looks very sharp. Its not bright or dark, more of a teal green. The tan colored soft top goes well with the color, looks in good shape, and operates manually with ease. Inside you will find a tan vinyl interior to match the top and is in great shape. Powering this car is stated to be a 2180cc GEX 4-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with a reverse lockout shifter. The engine is stated to be complete new, <3,000 miles on it. Here is the build list in no particular order: motor mounts, alternator, electric fuel pump, stater, and battery cables. Inside you can see Carrera seats and seatbelts, new carpet and door panels, window handle cranks, dash pad, sun visors, fuel cap, fuel tank door release cable, fuel sending unit, clutch, brakes, & accelerator pedal pads, hood/cluth/accelerator cables, Pioneer radio w/Bluetooth, Pioneer speakers and antenna, head liner, insulation pad, & convertible top. On the exterior she received new disc brake pads, chrome wheels w/radial tires, head lights, marker/tail lights assembly, mirrors, and body emblems & body trim.
