We are perfectly aware that these cars aren’t much loved by most people but a small bunch of passionate fans but, because we are part of these, it was obligatory for us to publish this very early KG. Very early as 1955 was the first production year for the Karmann Ghia and in that year… Read More Low gravity, Lower chassis: 1955 Karmann Ghia Coupè
This Karmann Ghia is one of the few equipped with the vacuum-operated clutch system, called “Autostick”. Unfortunately this car needs much more than a clutch rebuild to run again. The seller says that it’s not a driveable car (you don’t need much imagination capabilities to understand that) and that it’s a California car so the exterior… Read More Autostick car: 1968 Karmann Ghia Convertible
We are pretty sure that the Karmann Ghia, particularly the early series, has been rated by the market as the new Porsche 356. Indeed we’ve seen the quotations of these cars to increase substantially over the years: now a (almost) perfect car like this one is for sale regularly with an asking price higher than… Read More The new Porsche: 1959 Karmann Ghia “lowlights”
Here it is another Karmann Ghia brought back to a new life after 45 years in storage (at least the seller says so). The seller says also that this car has done just 300 miles from the end of a restoration lasted a couple of years: these are not complicated cars to restore so we… Read More Just refreshed: 1965 Karmann Ghia Convertible
Someone would say that this ad is pure marketing: at least, even if you don’t like the car, you must watch the photos to see that bunch of black and white puppies. The car is 1963 Convertible which looks a bit tired but it has the right basis to be a nice candidate for… Read More Puppies not included: 1963 VW Karmann Ghia Convertible
This lowlight Karmann Ghia is said to be a one family car since new, and indeed it looks like an untouched specimen, including the period tires, the black CA plate and the original dealer plate frame. The seller has provided a very detailed description, partitioned in chapters for every area of the car. It comes… Read More One family car: 1958 Karmann Ghia Coupé
The more the time passes, the more the feeling that these early Karmann are the new Porsche 356 grows. Indeed we already saw some perfectly restored specimen for sale at a very high price. No later than three years ago a car in this condition would have been worth no more than $2,000 (tops), today it’s a… Read More How low can you go? 1959 Karmann Ghia Coupè “Lowlight”
This 1964 Karmann Ghia was originally painted in Pacific Blue: probably the paint should have been redone so the solution found was to brush it lightly so the primer could emerge and mix with the blue shade. The result is a very particular effect wich reminds the shark skin pattern. Apart from such odd expedient,… Read More Shark skinned: 1964 Karmann Ghia Cabriolet
This 1968 Porsche 912 wears the vin #12800001, so it’s the first body made by Karmann coachworks and, according to Porsche Certificate of Authenticity asked by the owner, it was produced on 07/27/1967. The seller says only that the engine is correct (so it’s not original) and that it has a rare 5-speed option. The… Read More Number one: 1968 Porsche 912 by Karmann
This 1963 Typ 34 is said to be an unrestored car which had two owners from 1988.

However Ghia, through the pencil of its designer Sergio Sartorelli, made a very nice… Read More Palindrome car: 1963 VW Karmann-Ghia Typ 34 Coupé
