Regarded by many as one of Volkswagen's most aesthetically pleasing offerings, the Karmann Ghia stood as a distinct departure from the Beetle's appearance while sharing more commonalities beneath the surface than differences. This harmonious creation emerged from the collaborative endeavors of three notable entities, each contributing to the vehicle's name. Volkswagen, the driving force behind the project, entrusted the esteemed Italian design firm Carrozzeria Ghia with shaping the car's form. In turn, coachbuilding company Ghia took on the responsibility of constructing this automobile, further cementing its reputation as a prominent player of that era. Today, we present the opportunity to acquire a 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, a vehicle that embodies this intriguing history. The current owner attests to a comprehensive refinishing process, encompassing both its exterior and interior, resulting in a renewed visual allure. Imposing an even more irresistible proposition, the odometer indicates a mere 17,000 miles of travel, a testament to its remarkably low usage over the years.
The 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, a car of such historical prominence, finds its perfect visual counterpart in a vibrant shade of red. This choice of color seamlessly encapsulates the vehicle's distinctive character. As indicated by the owner, the car now boasts new lights, imparting a remarkably crisp and pristine appearance to the lenses. Mounted on the vehicle are a set of aftermarket aluminum sport wheels, adorned with generously profiled tires that not only enhance its aesthetics but also imbue it with a robust and commanding stance that complements its iconic cab-forward design. Accentuating the rear are four exhaust pipes, a visual cue that anticipates the pleasant hum of the Volkswagen air-cooled flat-four engine. Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by an inviting cabin adorned in matching red upholstery. The interior accommodates two low-back bucket seats for the driver and front passenger, alongside a rear bench seat. While modest by contemporary standards, the cabin design was thoughtfully conceived for its era. Instrumentation comprises a 120mph speedometer, a clock, and additional gauges. Practicality is well accounted for with a net-style parcel shelf supplementing the glovebox, while front seat occupants benefit from the presence of seat belts for enhanced safety. Positioned in the front compartment, commonly referred to as the "frunk," lies a small storage space along with the spare wheel, further emphasizing the Karmann Ghia's clever utilization of space.
Under the rear hood of the 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia resides a 1.6L air-cooled flat-four engine, a mechanical heart closely related to the Beetle of its time. Notably, this engine has undergone an extensive rebuilding and tuning process, ensuring its performance and reliability are at their optimal levels. A significant improvement is the inclusion of a Dual Vacuum Advanced Distributor, a modification aimed at eradicating any flat spots in the acceleration curve, thus enhancing the driving experience. This rejuvenated power source propels the car's rear wheels via a meticulously calibrated four-speed manual transmission. Moreover, it's worth noting that the vehicle's electrical system has been meticulously overhauled to adhere to the precise specifications of the factory harness wiring, an endeavor that underlines the dedication to preserving the authenticity and functionality of this classic automobile.
The '60s was a time for peace and love. What's the perfect machine to replicate this feeling? Volkswagen and its line of air-cooled machines. Built to evoke the sense of traveling further and freely, being behind the wheel of a '60s Volkswagen is an experience to treasure, especially if it's this 1963 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe we have today.

Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
From the ’30s to the ’50s, MG was undoubtedly excelled in the sports car arena. Their simple yet engaging T-Type models offered motorsports-winning pedigree to a broad audience and were distinct in their style. The MG TD was the fourth iteration of the T-Type chassis, which started with the TD. While the car’s lineage was still unmistakable, the Midget adopted a more sophisticated approach to the drivetrain. This includes the hypoid-geared rear axle of the MG Y-Type and independent front suspension. Our featured car is a 1952 MG TD Roadster Replica, which has been painstakingly recreated to offer an idea of what the original car would have looked like. Being a relatively modern reincarnation, this replica has reportedly run just 20,000 miles.
