Seller's Notes

This Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34 is a distinctively styled classic German coupe, which has been enhanced with a Porsche 2.7-litre flat-six engine. Under the rear engine lid now sits a Porsche 911-sourced 2.7-litre naturally aspirated air-cooled flat-six, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This original Australian-market example was first registered in 1965. This Karmann Ghia Type 34 is understood to be one of just 253 right-hand drive examples left worldwide, of which only 48 are believed to be 1964 model-year examples. The odometer indicates 12,417 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1964 This Karmann Ghia Type 34 is finished in the stylish hue of Anthracite, over a black leatherette-trimmed interior, featuring contrasting white door card sections, a wood veneer dashboard inlay, and chrome trim highlights. It rides on an aftermarket set of 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels finished in satin-black with anodised ‘petal’ spokes and lips, fitted with Supercat tyres. Equipment includes push-out front and quarter light windows, elasticated door card storage pockets, a locking glove compartment, and heater and ventilation controls. This example has been enhanced with a Porsche 911-sourced 2.7-litre flat-six engine, a wood-rimmed Moto Lita steering wheel, a carbon-fibre gear knob, a JVC CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, glow-in-the-dark VDO gauges, aftermarket Procar front seats, aftermarket rear cabin speakers, a Fireball Performance ignition system, Weber downdraft carburettors, custom air filter housings with ‘Maleficent’ artwork, and a Proflow oil breather tank. The car comes with two keys, a history of the engine conversion completed in the 1980s, and a copy of Flat 4 magazine featuring the car in the 1990s. The seller also notes that the car has full engineering documentation and has been fully registered in Tasmania, Victoria, WA and NSW. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the inner and outer sills were replaced and repainted in 2017, a small area of rust repair was carried out on the front-end around the passenger-side headlight in 2025, there are a few blemishes around the car, Procar seats were fitted, and there is some plastic trim missing from the driver’s seat base. The seller notes that the car has extra fog lights. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted in May 2025, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass. The seller states that significant maintenance has been performed in the last 12 months, including resealing of the windscreen, rust proof in areas, new Porsche Fuchs spare wheel, a full service, H4 Headlights and all running lights, full Dynamat soundproofing, new interior carpets and underlay, engine/gearbox strip-down for oil leaks, suspension upgrades, re-balance carbies and timing chain, new fuel pump. Invoices detailing work undertaken are viisble in the photo gallery. This Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34 is a rare and characterful classic German coupe, which has been enhanced with a Porsche 2.7-litre flat-six engine. Presented with a stylish colour scheme, distinctive styling, and boasting a number of other discerning upgrades, it would make a stylish and engaging companion for weekend sprints and classic car show visits alike.
