ghi 1973 VW Karmann Ghia Coupe!!! Here is one of the best Karmann Ghia Coupes that I have ever come across. This car was the subject to an incredibly high quality body off restoration and is one of the nicest Karmann Ghias in the country and is truly an award winning car. This car was completed a few years and has competed at several shows winning many 1st place finishes. It is truly difficult to describe how nice this car is. This Ghia is a 3 owner car and was sold new in Georgia. The car went from the first owner to a young man who then sold it on to his father who commisioned the spectacular restoration. This Karmann Ghia is presented exactly as it left the showroom floor in 1973. This car was originally the desriable Zambesi Green with Tan interior, radio delete as well as rear seat delete (1973 model). Everything on the car has been finished to an incredibly high standard and everything on the car has been rebuilt. The engine is numbers matching as is the entire car. The body work is laser straight and the car has NEVER been in an accident. The paint is stunning and virtually flawless. At the time of restoration the car recived a gorgeous paint job on a beautiful straight rust free body, new chrome, a new interior, rebuilt engine, rebuilt transmission and a rebuilt suspension. This is one of the nicest Karmen Ghias I have seen in years. The cars underside is beautiful and in practically perfect condition. These cars are excellent cars to drive and enjoy either daily or just for fun on the weekends. They are beautiful to look at, rare to see, easy and even fun to maintain due to there simplicity. This is a beautiful collector quality car that will surely make its new owner very happy! There are over 200 pictures, so please let the ad completely load before scrolling down. Depending on your internet connection/speed it may take a bit. Click to enlarge Exterior: This great Karmen Ghia was treated to a very high quality paint job and as you can see from the photos, it looks gorgeous. The body on the car is laser straight and free of "waves." All of the doors, hood and deck lid all line up beautifully. When looking inside the trunk area and looking at the nose of the car, it appears to be accident free and finished to a very high standard!!! The chrome on the car is in excellent condition and has a beautiful shine. This car was stripped down to bare metal and was a full body off restoration. Every piece of glass, interior component, wiring harness etc was removed. This car was painted in bare shell inside and out at a very large expense. No corners were cut and it truly shows. Overall the exterior of the car is in excellent conditon! Click to enlarge Interior: The interior of Karmen Ghia is stunning!!! The interior was redone in the factory color scheme using all of the correct materials. The interior is absolutely beautiful with tan seats and matching carpet. The seats are extremely comfortable and were done correctly with new foam. This is a factory rear seat delete (all 73s were) and radio delete car and the rear compartment is upholstered as it should. The headliner is in perfect shape as well. The seats are free of rips, stains, tears and odors as they are brand new. All of the gauges and lights work. The dash is free of cracks etc... Overall, I would say that the interior is in excellent shape!!! Click to enlarge Engine: The 1600cc engine has been rebuilt and starts up and runs like a top!!! When the engine was rebuilt it was detailed to show quality standards. The engine only has a few hundred miles on it since it has been rebuilt. The transmission was also rebuilt at the same time of the engine and it shifts through all of the gears with ease. The brakes and suspension have also been gone through and the car rides, steers and stops GREAT! This really is a great driving Karmen Ghia that can be driven daily or just for fun on the weekends. These are great cars because they are very reliable and any part you might need is readily available and very inexpensive. This car however, shouldn't need anything for sometime! This car is ready to enjoy or show! Click to enlarge This is a great looking 100% Rust free Karmann Ghia hat can be purchased for tens of thousands of dollars less than what it cost to build it. This is one of the nicest Karmann Ghias I Have come across in many years and is truly ready to be shown, driven and enjoyed. This car is a true collector quality car and all the credit for this beautiful car must go to the previous owner and the restoration shop that performed an absolutely stunning restoration I can help arrange shipping anywhere in the world and international buyers are welcome to enjoy this beautiful Karmann Ghia !!!
