Comments from the seller

1964 Karmann Ghia – Body‑Off Restoration – 2330cc (with A/C)-34,000Km since resto. Offered for sale is an exceptional 1964 Karmann Ghia. Conceived as a forever car, this Ghia blends period‑correct elegance with discreet, high‑quality performance upgrades, all executed by respected specialists. The result is a classic that delivers the charm of the original design with modern reliability, drivability, and genuine fun. This is far more than a cosmetic restoration. Every component has been rebuilt, upgraded, or replaced with longevity and engineering in mind. Although the restoration is older, the car has been used lightly as a weekend driver and has been continually maintained and refined. Anyone who understands what it takes to build a car like this will recognise the dollars represented here. We are shopping for an offroad caravan, so it's time to sell. Serious buyers only. Test drives available after inspection, proof of funds and deposit.
