The 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible is a blend of classic European style and thoughtful American muscle under its sleek Firethorn Red paint. This particular Ghia sports a Flat Six engine borrowed from a Chevy Corvair, delivering an unmistakable rumble that sets it apart from the crowd. Its past is enriched by an overhaul completed in 2010 with a recent 2024 upgrade to Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, making this convertible a unique driver's classic. If you crave a distinctive open-air cruiser with a spirited heartbeat, this Karmann Ghia demands your attention.
Step inside and you're greeted by a cabin that mixes vintage charm with subtle upgrades. The white vinyl bucket seats offer a comfortable embrace, complemented by an aftermarket steering wheel that feels just right in your hands. The dash, while showing minor character, keeps classic gauges clear and functional. All glass and seals are in good condition, and the manual convertible top adds a tactile connection to the open road, wrapped in quality black canvas that holds its shape beautifully.
This Karmann Ghia's heart is a 164ci Flat Six engine from a Chevy Corvair. The Holley Sniper EFI system ensures reliable fuel delivery while the custom exhaust with stainless steel Flowmaster mufflers and headers delivers a deep, throaty note that any enthusiast will appreciate. Power flows through a smooth 4-speed manual transmission paired with a Kennedy Stage 2 clutch, giving you control and confidence. The manual steering and disc brakes at all four wheels provide a connected, responsive driving experience that honors the car's sporty roots.
