Fuzzy Dice Autos Has up for auction an extremely desirable 1974 Karmann Ghia Convertible in all around great condition. This as you know is the very last production year of the Ghia. With only 1558 convertibles assembled, this makes our car considerably rare and highly collectable. Now some information about the car; Owned by the same local family since 1976. Always garaged and maintained and driven fairly often with 125,211 miles recorded on the working odometer. She was professionally repainted in its original Willow Green color in the mid 90’s and still shines like new. The convertible top and glass rear window are excellent. The same can be said for the all around glass, chrome, wheels, tires and rubber molding. The original convertible top boot is also in great shape. The underside is as nice as the rest of the car. No rust nor damage anywhere. The car has absolutely no body filler and is as solid as it was in 1974. Photos of the under carriage upon request. The original interior is complete and very acceptable. There is a minor tear on the backrest of the driver’s seat and a sun crack on the dash. The gauge package is intact and are all in working order. An aftermarket radio was installed back in the 90’s. The original 1584 cc, 50 HP, single barrel carb motor runs smooth, quiet, smoke free with no fluid leaks of any kind. Just done was a complete service check.
