Body Positivity: 1969 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia Type 14
I’m not one of those people who actually likes to see rust on a car and raves about the patina…but there is something cool about an unrestored classic – flaws and all. Like this 1969 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia offered for $6,200 in Billings, MT via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
The Volkswagen Type 14 Karmann Ghia was built as a 2+2 coupe and
convertible from 1955 to 1974. The mechanical components were borrowed
from the Type 1 Beetle with styling by Luigi Segre of carrozzeria Ghia
and coach-built bodywork from Karmann. Today’s example was given a small mechanical restoration in 2002, and continues to be daily driven.

I love it but I could not resist a slight front lowering and Empi wheels.
Pull the bumpers off a classic Karman Ghia, and something magical happens…
