This left-hand drive 1964 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a neatly restored and honest example of the stylish classic coupe. It is powered by a rear-mounted air-cooled 1500cc flat-four, sending power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The five-digit odometer currently displays 24,562 miles, however this is not warranted. This Karmann Ghia was restored in Miami, Florida, before being purchased by the previous owner and imported to Melbourne, Australia. The car was then acquired by the seller approximately six years ago. Introduced as Volkswagen’s desirable flagship model in the mid-1950s, the Karmann Ghia is based on the running gear and chassis of the Type 1 Beetle. It saw the marque work with Italian styling house Carrozzeria Ghia and German coachbuilders Karmann. This car has been restored, with the paintwork redone and cabin retrimmed. This example has been refinished in a vibrant red hue over a retrimmed white vinyl-clad interior, complemented by a wood-rimmed steering wheel and polished metal accents. It rides on a set of black-painted 15-inch steel wheels, featuring body-colour centres, polished hubcaps, and white wall-effect Atlas trims. A modern Sony stereo has been fitted in the cabin, which is linked to a pair of Sony Xplod speakers. Other non-standard additions include an EMPI gear shifter and a sports exhaust. The car will be accompanied by a spare wheel and all available service history from the seller’s ownership. The seller notes that the red paintwork has been resprayed and it is described as being in good overall condition. There are some light scratches, stone chips, and general swirl marks around the car, as well as a crack on the driver’s door above the rear-view mirror. The bumpers and polished trim pieces show signs of pitting and general wear, which is in keeping with the car’s age. Inside, the cabin presents very well. The retrimmed seats presents well, with some general discolouration but no substantial wear. Elsewhere, there are marks and scuffs on the driver’s door trim, and some chips in the finish around the glovebox door. The seller notes that there is a loose wire in the stereo, but there are no known mechanical issues. It starts up well. This Karmann Ghia was most recently serviced by Unanderra Mechanical Repairs at an indicated 24,562 miles. Work included a minor service and registration inspection, which it passed without issue or advisory. The seller notes regular servicing during their six years of ownership. Described by the seller as offering a truly analogue driving experience, this 1964 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a particularly smart example of the stylish classic coupe. Previously restored and recently serviced, it would be right at home as part of a larger collection, but would perhaps be best enjoyed on the open road, where it will no doubt turn heads at every opportunity.
