VW Karman Ghia Coupe 1960
This 1960 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia coupe was refinished in black under previous ownership approximately 23 years ago. The car was then placed in storage until 2016, when the seller commissioned a rebuild of the air-cooled 1,192cc flat-four, reupholstered the interior, refreshed the brake and suspension systems, refinished the floor pan with rust inhibitor paint, flushed the fuel system, and replaced the clutch, windshield, seals, and trim.
Further details include a split-case four-speed manual transaxle, an adjustable front axle beam, bullet-style turn signals, pop-our rear quarter windows, and an Abarth-style exhaust.
The car has been fitted with an adjustable front axle beam, and stopping power is provided by drum brakes at all four corners. Interior elements include a fuel reserve flap, hand-crank windows, and a foot-operated high/low-beam switch. The two-spoke steering wheel features a Wolfsburg crest center cap and frames a 90-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a fuel-level gauge. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 32k miles.
The air-cooled 1,192cc 36hp flat-four was reportedly overhauled in 2016 and features a single downdraft carburetor, an oil bath air cleaner, a generator charging system, and a four-tip Abarth-style exhaust.
