Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1957 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia "Lowlight" coupe was refurbished in Trout Blue with a new blue leatherette interior. It features a 1.2L flat-four engine, four-speed manual transaxle, and period-correct details like driving lights and chrome bumpers.
While appearing solid after refurbishment, the listing mentions panel fitment issues with the doors and decklid, and a known inaccuracy with the odometer reading, suggesting some minor reconditioning may still be needed.
Condition
7
The car underwent refurbishment including body repairs and a repaint. While the interior upholstery and carpeting are new, and many components were reconditioned, the listing notes that the doors and decklid sit proud of the body, and there are flaws in the rearview mirror backing. The odometer reading is also stated as inaccurate.
