1967 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Sportomatic
Seller's description
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was a 2+2 seat sports coupe with technology tried and tested in the VW Beetle. It was built by Karmann in Osnabrück, where a total of 443,466 units rolled off the belt between 1955 and 1974. The Karmann was offered both as coupe and convertible, up until today it is a very popular car. The success, especially in the U.S.A., is not least owed to the Sportomatic semiautomatic transmission, which was available from a later point on.
The car offered here is a coupe from 1967 made for the American market, as, among others, the Sportomatic and the front disc brakes indicate. It has been part of a collection since 2000. According to the owner, it has been entirely overhauled and is in good condition, both as far as look and technology are concerned.
