Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible, refinished in red, features a 1.6L flat-four engine and a four-speed manual transaxle. Noted issues include rust, a tear in the soft top, a nonfunctional door handle, and intermittent speedometer, influencing its value.
Condition
6
The car has been refinished, which suggests some previous cosmetic work. Rust is noted on the right quarter panel and there's a tear in the soft top. The inner right-side door handle is nonfunctional, and holes and loose trim are visible on the top headliner. The speedometer works intermittently, and corrosion is present on underside components. These issues indicate moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning.
