1966 VW Karmann Ghia Coupe For Sale

SOLD!!



This stunning black Ghia Coupe is a body off restoration "resto mod" street machine that
is packed to the gills with extras and upgrades.
It is located in New Jersey in the hands of its reported third owner.


The Ghia body is just stunning on black and remains in excellent condition thanks to careful ownership
and proper storage. The restoration was completed in 2003 yet still looks quite fresh.


The body colored bumpers gives the car a very clean and modern look
that is helped also by the lack of factory trim on the body and windows.


Rear deck lide is kicked up just slightly at the leading edge for added air flow.


The tinted windows adds to the look as well...so smooth, so sexy.
That Karmann Ghia body design is truly one of the most beautiful in the automotive world.




Wow!


Out back is further black magic in the form of a 2332cc engine with all the top tricks.
This was rebuilt in 2013 and has minimal miles on it since.
