This 1971 Karmann Ghia is a matching numbers mostly unmolested survivor. It has spent its life in southern California and Arizona and except for a minor amount of light surface rust in out of the way places is rust-free. It will likely appeal to a variety of owners as the car is excellent mechanically with 45. 00 documented original miles. 1971 and 1972 were the only years for an upgraded 1600cc 55 hp engine for Karmann Ghia’s. It also has a full set of new matching tires. fresh brake work. recent tune-up and valve adjustment. All lights and accessories are working as they should. This car is a reliable daily driver with no issues. For the hobbyist. this is a unique vehicle seldom seen at local or regional car shows or rallies. This car is also a worthy candidate for a complete restoration and upgrade. As evidenced by the pictures the body has had some previous body and paint work as the result of minor damage. but there is no sign of structural damage or significant rust. The critical body areas of the nose and headlights. rocker panels and rear fender bumper attachment points are in good condition. I would be more than happy to answer any questions or discuss the car with you.
