Owning a classic VW (especially this stylish Karmann Ghia) is a great feeling! You'll get thumbs-up every where you go, and you'll soon realize these cars have a personality all their own. If you've ever considered buying a Ghia, or if you've had a classic VW in the past and want to rekindle that joyous, nostalgic feeling that can only come from a classic VW, then you'll enjoy the dickens out'a this cute little racer.

I owned this Ghia myself from 2001-2004 and put thousands of miles on it. I drove from Minneapolis to Sioux Falls, SD for the first annual Bug Blessing in 2001. The car won best of show (out of approx. 25 cars). I also drove the car to Grand Forks, ND and the car drove great. A Gentleman bought the car from me in 2004 as a surprise for his wife. The couple now have a family and this little car isn't getting used, so here it is again up for sale. I know the car well so call me up and I should be able to answer your questions. Thanks for your interest in this Little Red Racer! There are some photos from when I sold this Ghia the first time at the bottom of page two of our Sunset Classics Cars Sold Page.

The car looks great but it's far from perfect. I got the car straight out of California but there are now a few areas of rust. These areas are detailed in the close-up gallery below. The floor pans, trunk and most of the car is really solid but there is some through rust in the rockers. The paint looks great but there are some large scratches on the hood and roof of the car. You'll have things you will want to fix up over time but this is a nice, affordable car for you to start growing your love for the Karmann Ghia.
