VW Kombi Van Seeing Resurgence in Popularity

The Volkswagen Kombi van reached iconic status, with even a school lunch box fashioned in its image. During those early years, the Volkswagen Microbus morphed into various forms. From a cargo carrier with no windows behind the driver's seat to a windowed passenger van with three rows of seats, the possibilities seemed endless.

Classic Car Overview

Brief history of the Karmann GhiaOf all the variants and models of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, the type 14 is the most well-known. First introduced in Europe in 1955 and in the US as a coupe in 1956 (convertibles arrived in 1958), the Type 14 Karmann Ghia featured sleek body lines and the familiar rear-mounted, air-cooled flat four engines found in Beetles. Roughly 450,000 cars were produced over its production life with only 80,000 convertibles. Styling choices were made in Italy at the famous Ghia Studios, which at the time was known for working on exotic Italian sports cars. The design choices for both the interior and exterior went mostly unchanged throughout the years, with some changes being caused by new transportation regulations in the 60s & 70s. Taillights, turn signals, hazard lights and parking lights are among the most noticeable cosmetic differences between the model years. The Ghia was created out of the desire to produce a sport bodied car upon a reliable and tested chassis, which Volkswagen already had in the Beetle. Although the suspension was virtually the same as the Beetle, the sleek, low body gave the car a good ride and slightly better performance, but it was never advertised as an all-out sports car.Specifications1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible125,646 miles shown, TMUFour-cylinder 1600cc engineFour-speed manual transmission165R15 tires in good conditionWhite paint looks excellent with no major chips or blemishesBody panels are straight and in good conditionChrome bumpers go well with new trimNew top works greatFloors and sills are excellent originalsGlass is clearNew seat coversNew carpetsHeadliner is very nice and originalDoor panels and kick panels are in good conditionNew dash cover and consoleNew wood grain dashDoors shut niceClean trunk space that just looks beautifulInspected and serviced by CCCOu
