Purchased new at Glenlake VW in Chicago in late ’72, the new owner of this Karmann Ghia quickly drove it home and parked it in his garage and only pulled it out Sunday drives and a few road trips. The Ghia stayed with this first owner for most of its life and was later sold to another local resident and complete Karmann Ghia nut!! The second owner shared the same passion for keeping the car in mint condition and did his best to do so. Over the course of the next 20 years the car was driven less and less until the owner could no longer drive the car.
Luckily the car was cleaned regularly so the car is rust free from top to bottom, and only has a few minor dings and chips to be massaged out. Panel gaps are all factory and all of the doors open and close crisply. The paint has just been polished and shows very well as the video shows. Inside the car the seats all look barely used and the dash and door panels show nicely with minimal crack along the black plastic. All of the features work on this car too, right down to the world’s most annoying door buzzer!! The rear seats fold down, the seat belts retract and the stereo plays all The Moody Blues you can handle! Recently tuned up, the original 1,600 engine runs beautifully and the trans shifts crisply as well. New tires and polished chrome wheels help the Ghia get down the road in style, but help the car ride smoothly too.
Recently acquired along with other parts cars and several engines that are being used for ongoing projects, this car has proven to be much nicer than originally thought and doesn’t fit in line with the owners needs. This car is at the point where the next owner can dial in the car to their liking or just drive the car as is! Either way the next owner is going to get ONE HELL OF A NICE CAR!! Please let us know what questions you may have or let us know when you can come see and inspect the car!!
