1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible


Here is an amazing 1969 Karman Ghia convertible. mostly restored. I became ill and wasn't able to finish it the way I wanted to. It has to go. but I built it to drive and it grieves me to just see it standing in my garage. I have only driven it around the block It's pretty neat with the top down…. a real head turner.

Because of an oil leak I only have a few hours on the motor. I replaced the oil cooler with the bigger cooler. and the new bigger fan for cooling. Also changed over from generator to alternator. I believe it is the oil cooler gasket that is leaking. but I can no longer get down and work on it anymore. It has new cylinders pistons and rings. new dual port heads and new dual crabs.


The body of the car is real nice. I cut out all rust. replaced rear quarters. rockers and welded and used body solder to fill . Painted Hot Rod Red. I replaced the front end with new ball joints. torsion bars and steering gear. steering damper and tie rod ends. It has four new tires and wheels. I also have the original rims and cap. The car also comes with a lot of new parts. such as body seals that I haven't been able to install. The floor pan is in good shape. I also replaced the gas tank and fuel line.

I had to move from PA. to AZ so the car has some slight road rash form the move. but still looks great. It's been three years since I painted it and no rust has popped out through the paint.

I also have a list of new and original parts that go with the car including the original radio and a new am-fm cassette. In place of the clock. I have installed a tachometer. but also have the original clock if you wish to put it back. I also have the front and rear bumpers and overrides for rechrome if you wish. I also installed a third brake light in the rear deck to help make the care more visible to the blind. After all this work I didn't want anyone to run into it. But I kept the original license plate light and holder if you want to put it back.

The speedo shows 23143. but the car has hardly been driven since rebuilt. Only a few hours.

I have over $15. 00 in the car and I'm only asking $10. 00 or best offer! Serious buyers only. no low ball offers will be considered.
