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.
