Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible boasts a 35-year ownership history and a recent body-off refurbishment, featuring a 2.0L Type IV engine swap, upgraded brakes, and lowered suspension. Despite a refreshed interior and attractive red exterior, minor issues like split seams on the soft top and noted fluid leaks prevent it from being in pristine condition.
Condition
7
The car has undergone a body-off refurbishment and engine swap, suggesting good mechanical condition. However, there are noted cosmetic issues such as split seams on the soft top, play in the left wheel bearings, dry-rotting of a fuel hose, and leaks from CV axles and the sump plate, which indicate it's not in near-perfect or excellent condition but still a solid vehicle with some wear.
