The original Karmann Ghia was designed by world famous Carozzeria Ghia of Italy. The body was made by Karmann Karosseriewerke in Osnabruck Germany. Although Mr Ghia may not agree we think the customization is a vast improvement over the original design. The custom body work streamlined the appearance. Later model tail lights were used to create a smooth custom look. Safety items were added including front disk brakes and a seat harness (not just a lap belt) The engine was upgrade to like early Porsche standards. This California Custom Ghia is located in Napa California. It starts without a fuss and runs like a German Sewing Machine. This is a one of a kind vehicle and will be sold to the highest bidder with no reserve.

Engine is hot and rather quick but I was told that the German Sewing Machine Description is a push.
