1973 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA CONVERTIBLE A TRUE SURVIVOR...ALMOST ALL ORIGINAL ENGINE: THE MOTOR RUNS VERY STRONG AND HAS NO MECHANICAL ISSUES. IT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND STARTS EVERY TIME. THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE WAS PROFESSIONALLY COMPLETED APPROX 7 YEARS AGO: FUEL TANK REMOVED AND CLEANED FUEL HOSE AND FILTER REPLACED CARBURETOR CLEANED AND ADJUSTED VALVES AND TIMING ADJUSTED REPLACED MUFFLER HEATER HOSES REPLACED ALL 4 BALL JOINTS REPLACED 2 UPPER TORSION SPRINGS REPLACED FRONT SHOCKS REPLACED RESERVOIR HOSE ON BRAKE MASTER CYL FLUSHED BRAKE FLUID CLEAN AND ADJUSTED REAR BRAKES CHANGED OIL FILTER ALONG WITH SOME OTHER MINOR ITEMS. BODY: STILL REMAINS ITS ORIGINAL COLOR AND HAD A REPAINT APPROX 9 YEARS AGO. IT IS REALLY A BEAUTIFUL COLOR COMBO COMPLIMENTED WITH BLACK INTERIOR. THE BODY IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. PLEASE CHECK OUT ALL THE PICTURES TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. THE BODY AND BODY LINES ARE EXTREMELY STRAIGHT. I CAN'T FIND ANY REPAIRS ON THE BODY. THE CHROME BUMPERS ARE VERY SHINY AND STRAIGHT. ALL THE GLASS, CHROME TRIM, HANDLES, KARMANN GHIA SCRIPTS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. CHASSIS/UNDERCARRIAGE: SUPER SUPER SOLID. FLOOR PANS, HEATER CHANNELS, ROCKERS AND THE REST OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR IS IN GREAT IF NOT EXCELLENT SHAPE - CHECK OUT THE PICTURES. ODOMETER: THE ODOMETER SHOWS APPROX 9530 K MILES....I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS ORIGINAL...BUT I ASSUME NOT... INTERIOR: NEWER CARPET THROUGHOUT ENTIRE CAR WITH INSULATION UNDER IT. UPGRADED DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS ARE FIRM AND ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION...THEY ARE EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. THE DASH BOARD AND DOOR PANELS SHOW AGE. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL AND STILL HAS THE THICK INSULATED HEADLINER. THIS TOP IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF THE CAR. BOTH THE TOP AND HEADLINER ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THERE IS A SMALL TEAR (APPROX 1 INCH) IN THE TOP ON THE LOWER REAR PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE STITCHING. I HAVE A NEW SEAL THAT GOES BETWEEN THE TOP AND THE WINDSHIELD (COMES WITH CAR). WHEN CLOSING THE TOP THERE IS ONE ROD THAT NEEDS TO BE SLIGHTLY PUSHED FORWARD/BACKWARD. THE HEAT WORKS GREAT ON THE CAR...NO ISSUES WITH THIS ONE. NEW TRUNK LINER KIT WITH KARMANN GHIA NAME PLATE. THIS CAR GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.....BEAUTIFUL COLOR COMBO. THIS CAR IS SUPER SUPER SOLID...VERY WELL MAINTAINED. MY CAR IS A GREAT DAILY DRIVER OR COULD BE RESTORED TO A SHOW CAR. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE......

Please remember to contact me with any questions or if you want any other pictures. The reserve is extremely low for this car and is very close to being met. I will also be selling a 1972 VW Fiberglass body buggy in the very near future.....you can see it in the pictures...... Thank you
