Summary/Condition - This is great opportunity to get a nice Karmann Ghia. These cars are becoming very rare with few coming up for sale, especially in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic. I would rate the car a 3- (almost good) on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being perfect or show, 5 being parts. The car is currently registered and on the road and can be driven as you restore or as is with the new owner going as far as they or their budget desires. I have tried to detail and represent the condition as accurately as possible without writing a "book" as the car looks good in the pictures, but it is a 38 year old project car, needs work and there's no way to detail every flaw. It should be expected some things may be missed, so inspections are welcome if your local and other bidders should consider the risks before you bid! Engine - runs well and was recently tuned up with the associated parts, plugs, wires, filters, etc. drives, shifts, stops etc. It has a brand new exhaust, muffler, shocks, carb, fuel pump, fuel lines. Brake system has just been serviced and inspected with new lines, master cylinder.. Interior - The interior is complete, but needs new headliner, rubber seals, etc. The horn and windshield wipers don't work, and probably need to be checked and hooked up etc. The PO also installed a set of VDO gauges, but they need to be hooked up. (I have the originals) It also has I'm told is an original SCAT shifter from the 70's, this is not a reproduction. Body - Nose appears clean and accident free (rare). Floors are solid with POR -15 and as expected for a 38 year old used car have had fill repairs along with the rockers, wheel edges, trunk bottom edge etc. It has few surface rust spots, dings and one or two minor dents but all is presentable and repairable if you want to go that far. Tires/Wheels - Goodyear 185/65/15 wider (pretty much NEW!) on Riviera rims. Why Selling - I decided to move to a new daily driver and simply don't have the time or room, so it's time to pass it to a new owner to enjoy. Update: I've been getting several questions about driving the car home, daily driver etc. So to make it easy I'll add although the car runs pretty good and does drive etc. since working on the car over the last few years, I've only driven locally around town etc Since the car is nearly 40 years old and still a project I would suggest towing it or shipping it for practical safety reasons unless the new owner is local. As for daily driving as I mentioned it can be used and made to get there, but I personally wouldn't prior to addressing at least some of the items in the description. *Other hard to find misc. parts and trim available. I'm looking to move the car and have researched the market having it priced very reasonably. I will answer all emails that are realistic inquiries. **In respect for both our time...
