1973 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia

THIS 1973 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA CONVERTIBLE IS LOCATED IN: RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA 91739 The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a sports car marketed in 2+2 coupe (1955 1974) and 2+2 convertible (1957 1974) body styles by Volkswagen. Internally designated the Type 14, the Karmann Ghia combined the chassis and mechanicals of the Type 1 (Beetle) with styling by Italys Carrozzeria Ghia and hand-built bodywork by German coachbuilding house Karmann. For its final model year, the vestigial rear seat was discontinued for North American models, as it lacked provisions for seat belts; all Karmann Ghias for 1974 were marketed strictly as two-seaters. During 1962-1969, Volkswagen marketed the Type 34, based on the Type 3 platform, featuring angular bodywork and mechanicals from said platform. More than 445,000 Karmann Ghias were produced in Germany over the cars production life, not including the Type 34 variant. Volkswagen do Brasil (Volkswagen Brasil) produced 41,600 Type 34s in Brazil for South America between 1962 and 1975. Long noted for its exterior styling, the Karmann Ghia was designed with input from numerous individuals at Carrozzeria Ghia and was strongly influenced by Virgil Exners work, though all of its designers passed without a definitive individual styling attribution. American industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague included the Type 14 Karmann Ghia in his list of the worlds most beautifully designed products. 1973 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA CONVERTIBLE CLEAN CA TITLE IN HAND 2 PREVIOUS OWNERS WHITE EXTERIOR WITH BLACK INTERIOR 83,295 LOW MILES 4 CYL.
