1958 Karmann Ghia Convertible For Sale
SOLD!
This Nevada based 1958 Karmann Ghia Convertible is a true work of art.
Not only is the Ghia design at its purest and most sexy in these early models,
it shows itself spectacularly well in this color combination.
Add to that the insane level of detail to the restoration and build of this car and you have
a car that is worthy of gallery exhibition!
This car was actually bought through our website a handful of years back
and the current owner has gone through it completely to sort everything out and change it up just a bit.
The car is truly showroom condition throughout, only the best of the best was used in the build.
Gorgeous restoration. Check out the rare trip speedometer and that amazing radio
Also the cruiser pedal and logo shift knob on the vintage speed shifter
Crazy cool Blaupunkt
Header is super clean...not chipped up or marred.
Visors are superb
The car is currently Nevada located and Registered but a nice pair of era correct California plates are with it.
The car has a showroom stock appearance to it and it is truly stellar.
Underneath it in the mechanical realm though, it has been very tastefully upgraded with top level performance bits.
The deep sump and stealthy exhaust give just a hint that this is not a 36hp under the lid.
Chrome is superb
Taillights are mint
Correct large script emblem
Note the accessory trims on the engine vents as well.
Under the lid is a surgically sanitary two liter monster with dual Weber IDF carbs
and all the best internals. Note the amazing trim work around the engine as well.
Very fine details...the hinges are like jewelry
So clean
I just love the engine treatment here...so subtle, so clean
Electronic ignition
Just wow
Nose emblem
Headlight and grille detail
Hood latch
Body number
Inside of the nose is superb
Body tags all present
Wiring is all new and super clean
Impressive!
Interior is done in the proper materials and patterns...just gorgeous.
The car is kept in a climate controlled environment that is impressively clean.
Gorgeous
Paint and body are amazing on this car.
Wide whitewall radial tires and stock wheels and caps look right at home on this classic.
When first built, it had custom wheels on it and a lowered ride, but now it looks stock and proper.
Chassis is spotless as well!
Look at the reflection of the diamond plate lift tread in the chassis...its like a mirror!
Trans is a full performance unit built to handle the hp of the engine yet remain a very streetable combination.
Insane
Disc brakes up front
Absolutely over the top level of detail.
Front beam is adjustable as well.
The owner is a true VW fanatic by the way.
And he knows quality.

====The top is always down on the car, but it too is in excellent condition.

What a gem.
Seriously I think this is one of the most beautiful body designs ever.
The car impresses on every single level.
If you are someone that enjoys the best...this car is for you.
