My history is a little sketchy. I was purchased in 1994 from a gentlemen who gave me up for his new wife who wanted garage space. Can you believe that? I came to live with my current owner and have been garaged since. I guess some would say my condition is average for my age. I was fortunate to have a new engine from the block up with a 1600 cc big valve engine with Engle 110 cam with lightened lifters, a 2 barrel Weber progessive linkage carburetor, a one and five eights inch dual quiet pack header system and a chrome distributor. Windshield wipers work. New owner should buy new tires. My owner has a lot of hobbies and has driven me less than 500 miles with this new engine. I have a black Mercedes convertible top and the exterior of the top is in great condition. The rear window in the top is heated glass. When my owner put my top down today, it did not drop into the stored postion. I have been garaged and tuned up and my gas has been drained and new fuel in tank. Just need to be driven. Lets talk interior. I have a custom interior tucked and rolled seats done by an upholsterer who has done work for a local car museum. Originial heater knobs and emergency brake. Windows are manual and work and the glove compartment is in good shape. Notice I am leaving my exterior to the last. My painters unfortunately misrepresented their skills. Paint is blistering on rocker panels and paint boils in multiple locations. Pictures to follow. Karmann Ghia insignia is missing from the trunk and a small piece from the front bumper is missing and there is some pitting of the bumpers. Passenger side door sticks but sometimes opens freely. I am still a head turner. My owner leaves me unlocked and she finds people sitting in me waxing nostalgic about their fond history with the Karmann Ghia. I am really 5 yard car. Stand 5 yards away from me and I look really good. I have more pictures and will be glad to send. I am going to be advertising locally. Auction may be ended early if sold locally. Title is available and clear. Car is located in Port Orchard, Washington. Owner is selling me as she has too many play toys. Question welcomed and encouraged.
