1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

Meet the 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia—VW's lithe, coach-built coupe that mixed German bones with Italian suit. Hand-finished by Karmann and penned by Ghia, the Ghia was always scarcer than its Beetle sibling and bowed out after 1974, making this '73 a sought-after late-production example with that timeless low-slung profile and crisp character lines.

Pop the rear deck and you'll find the classic flat-four reimagined: the original 1600cc has been rebuilt and punched out to 1835cc, breathing stronger and revving happier. It's paired to a 4-speed manual and an EMPI shifter that snicks through the gates with purpose—light, mechanical, and exactly what you want in a driver's Ghia. The car's stance and soundtrack are pure air-cooled attitude without losing daily usability.

Finished in bold Red over a clean Black cabin, this coupe nails the details. The turn signals are integrated into the headlights for a sleek, de-cluttered nose, and the bumper delete sharpens the silhouette so the bodywork does the talking—long hood, tight overhangs, and that signature rear haunch.

Inside, it's classic VW with smart upgrades where they count. A RetroSound aftermarket radio brings modern tunes without spoiling the period vibe, while a center console with cupholders adds real-world comfort for coffee runs and weekend cruises.

If you know the story, you know why these cars are special: fewer built, crafted by hand, and the penultimate model year of an icon. This Karmann Ghia serves up vintage style and lively 1835cc punch—ready to turn a quick errand into the best 15 minutes of your day.
