Landspeed Record Holder: 1968 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

Everybody loves fast cars. Right?  And what could be faster than a land speed world record holder?  Well...in the case of this next car...just about anything you will find on your street is faster.  But to go 100 miles per hour with 36 horsepower is indeed a feat worth acknowledging.  Find this 1968 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia offered for $7900 in Dewey, AZ via craigslist.

Baja Ghia: 1966 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia

Everything Baja is cool right now -- you can find Baja 911s, Baja Mustangs, and Baja Beetles galore, but I can't say I've seen many Baja-Ghias in my time.  But I like it because it combines the basic rugged Volkswagen Beetle powertrain with a unique body that doesn't look like a pregnant ladybug. Find this 1966 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia offered for $6000 in Phoenix, AZ via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Body Positivity: 1969 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia Type 14

10k: Rarewagen: 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 14 was built in Germany and sold in the USA from 1955 to 1974, but its planned replacement, the type 34, built from 1962-1969 was never imported to the US market.  The US continued to get the old Type 14 Ghia and never got the handsome Type 34 that looks like a cross between a Chevy Corvair and a Lancia Fulvia.  Regardless, a few examples of the Type 34 have found their way onto US roads but are considered rare.  Find this 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34 for sale in Ranchos de Taos, NM currently bidding for $4,050 reserve-not-met and $10,500 buy-it-now with 3 days to go.  Tip from Andy L.

DTO: Gila Monster: 1967 Volkswagen Karmann Gia Type 14, Vette Suspension, Ford 5.0 V8


Rumor has it there is some sort of virus going around that makes people put their favorite classic car body on top of a tube frame and power the result by an 80s Ford V8.  The thrice painted BMW 2002 Cobra  featured a few weeks back finally has a competitor for the "what is hiding under that sheet metal" competition.  Find this 1967 Volkswagen Karmann Gia Type 14 with Covette Suspension & Ford 5.0 V8 for sale in Salem, OH for $26,500 via craigslist.

2.5k: Ghiapocalypse: 1974 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia Baja Coupe

The Volkswagen Beetle is regularly transformed into an off-road post-apocalypse survival vehicle and jumped over sand dunes, but the pretty-boy Karmann-Ghia version is usually kept on the street and we don't know why.    Break all the rules with this 1974 Karmann-Ghia Baja coupe for sale in Tiflon, GA (not HI as it says in the listing) for the asking price of $2500 via hemmings.com
