I bought this '73 Karmann Ghia from a seller in California about 3 years ago. The body has around 60,000 miles but the engine was rebuilt in 2005 and has only clocked around 6k since. The body is in okay shape, the rear right of the car has a large dent, there are visible spots were paint has chipped and cracked. In front most of the paint on the nose chipped off and was mended poorly with bondo and spray paint. The interior may need to be cleaned somewhat. Inside are a Carpet kit, EMPI short shifter, VDO oil pressure, oil temp, vac/boost and a volt meter. Has all the original gauges that work with the exception of the clock. It has a faux wood overlay on the dash, new crash pad and real wood Grant steering wheel. It has a 10k RPM tach with shift light. The faux wood dash is cracked in several places. The car also has a dvd/cd player with a cracked screen, but I've never gotten it to work. Two speakers are found behind the rear seats, while one is located near the passenger foot rest (this will have to be remounted). The car is lowered in the front and in the rear, has brand new tires in the front with about 200miles on them. The car has a 1835 motor with dual Weber IDF 44's. It has the Hot Street C35 Scat cam set. Hi volume oil pump, EMPI intake manifolds, all black tin with heater deleted doghouse and race fan. Electric fuel pump with EMPI block off plate. Remote oil filter and dual relief case. All oil lines are AN line as are the oil breather lines from each valve cover. They go to a EMPI breather tower. Newer generator just replaced and brand new voltage regulator. Battery is located under the rear passenger seat. Pertronix electronic ignition, 009 dizzy and Bosch blue coil. Custom set of Accell 8mm wire set, with new NGK spark plugs. Some problems not mentioned above include: engine is quite loud, driver's side window does not roll all the way up, driver's side door does not lock, the rear seat panel routinely falls down when driving. Also the wire attaching the gas petal to the spring was broken, it was mended reasonably well with duck tape, nevertheless a new wire will need to be purchased or fabricated. Lastly the car may require front and rear bumpers.
