This 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia coupe is finished in orange over brown vinyl upholstery and is powered by an air-cooled 1.6L flat-four paired with a three-speed semi-automatic transaxle. Equipment includes 15″ steel wheels, BF Goodrich thin whitewall tires, front disc brakes, a cigarette lighter, a Bluetooth-capable Alpine CD stereo, pop-out rear quarter windows, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The car was acquired in 2018, by the seller who added 2k of its 33k miles shown. This Karmann Ghia coupe is now offered with a transferrable New York State registration in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Blood Orange (L21E), per the seller, and features a left-side mirror, rear quarter pop-out windows, polished trim, a Karmann badge on the right front fender, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The car shows evidence of accident damage sustained to the left front, and the paint was detailed by Ian’s Speed Shop of Scranton, Pennsylvania in October 2023.
Silver-finished 15″ steel wheels wear chrome VW-stamped hubcaps and are mounted with 165-series BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial thin whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. The front brake pads were replaced in October 2023.
The front bucket seats and folding rear bench are trimmed in brown vinyl upholstery and are joined by color-coordinated door panels and carpeting. Faux wood trim lines the dashboard, and additional interior elements include a lockable glove compartment, a cigarette lighter, and an Alpine CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring with a Wolfsburg crest center cap and frames a 90-mph VDO speedometer and fuel level gauge as well as a Kienzle analog clock. The five-digit odometer shows 33k miles, approximately 2k of which have been added under current ownership. The clock is inoperative and the gas gauge reads incorrectly.
The air-cooled 1.6L (AE) flat-four received a replacement carburetor, fuel pump, filter, spark plugs, and ignition wires in October 2018 and a replacement battery in May 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through an “Automatic Stickshift” three-speed semi-automatic transaxle.
The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a state that does not issue titles for a vehicle of its age. It is being sold on its registration.
