1967 VW Karmann Ghia Convertible For Sale
My job of creating listings for these old VWs is a fun one but it can be a bit tedious at times
to work with a marginal car or poor quality photos and to try to show the car in its best light.
When something like this comes across my desk, it is always a joy.
A spectacular car, fantastic photos that truly speak for themselves
and really all I need to do is share them all with the world so they can drool on their keyboards.
This drool inspiring Ghia comes to us from Oregon and it is absolutely up at the
top of the list when it comes to the best 67 Ghia Convertible we have ever posted.
A stunning restoration of an exceptional original car, done by a restorer that
is extremely knowledgeable and focuses only on Ghias, the best year, best colors and the best of everything done to it.
The car started out pre-restoration as a very unmolested original car and the restorer kept as many of the original parts and details
as they could to pay tribute to its past as well as make it as nice as possible to last well into the future.
The car has never had a radio installed and the woodgrain on the dash is the original stuff...even the dealer applied instruction stickers remain.
Underneath the car is extremely straight and solid.
Not restored to trailer queen level under here as the originality and solid structure
did not need restoration or replacement.
This is a low mileage original car, with approximately 67000 original miles since new.
The engine and trans are the original numbers matching units and have been serviced and tuned.
An excellent driver.
Mega solid and straight underneath!
Wow!
New door seals, rock solid doors, original door panels
New top quality canvas top with the correct original trim in place
German square weave carpets
Great original accessory shift knob.
The seats are factory original material, not restored with new vinyl.
Dash is very clean
Proper ashtray
Original glove box and wood dash trim
All the latches and locks are super clean, no overspray or nasty deterioration
Headliner is excellent
Now the biggest flaw I see on the car is the glove box plastic trim.
It has cracked and probably should be replaced, but the issue is that the reproduction
woodgrain does not match up well with the original...
Personally I think I would attempt to carefully glue this in place and just leave it.
Amazing that those door panels are original.
The armrests are 1967 only items from what I have been told.
Instruments are all original, the key is the original VW logo key
So clean in the deep corners.
67 only window cranks
Even the rubber strap is in place to hold the back seat up
Excellent fit and finish to the interior.
Matching top boot stowed behind the seat
Correct 67 "claw" seatbelts
These are insanely hard to find !
Original upholstery...wow!
Locking hood release
I dont think I have ever seen these intact in a Ghia before!
Great attention to detail in all the deep corners.
That is the original tar board insulation in the engine compartment by the way.
You can NOT find the exact texture material anywhere like this!
First year for 12 volt electrics
Numbers matching original 1500cc engine
Super clean and correct.
Spare wheel is even spotless
The nose is superb!
So straight and solid. Nice to see the original jack as well.
Even the pressure sticker is in the washer bottle still.
Chrome on the handles and bumpers is excellent
All window rubber and trim is in fantastic shape
California plate hints to its history as a California car
Very clean!!
Proper 67 only wheel trim rings and excellent bias ply whitewalls
Original glass all the way around
Door gaps are the best I have seen on a Ghia
Clean Oregon title and registration
Superb paint and bodywork
This car is freakin gorgeous...what else can I say?
Wow
Can you imagine yourself behind the wheel of this one?
Stellar car with a known history and professionally handled restoration.
This is as good as they get when it comes to a blend of preservation and restoration.
The best of both worlds.
