FOR SALE
Karmann Ghia Coupe 1962
Bought as Project car, 38 years ago.
Project now 95 to 98% complete.
Unable to finish, due to ill health which now prevents my dream happening.
Completely rust free, with much money spent on the process, including new rocker door sills (where they all rust out).
Recent receipts supplied for $35,000AUD.
Major item purchased was brand new 240 HP engine from CB Performance (USA), pictured, matched to Rancho (USA) transaxle, billet Aluminium side plates, built specially for this engine.
This motor won a competition in the States for the most powerful non-turbo, non-fuel injected VW boxer engine. Naturally aspirated via 48mm IDA Weber carbs, bored to 51.5mm. (Never known done before).
MSD Ignition, with launch control, completely re-wired, under-fender oil cooling, pictured, with laptop connection for fuel tuning.
Front end lowered (adjustable), rear end with racing side plates and Porsche Torsion Bars.
Wheels are very rare (and expensive) Porsche Gasburner 914/6, full magnesium (not mag-alloy). These are collectors items in USA, being about half the weight of normal mags.
Every nut & bolt on this car is replaced with stainless & "every component" is upgraded to maximum specification, except steering box, which is also new.
Seats are Recaro Sport, supplied newly re-covered in black leather.
New windscreen & all interior is sound-deaded with Duromat. Bodywork is two-pack epoxy, which needs final polish via rub-back (or lacquer spray if preferred).
The 'on road' performance of this beast is frightening, believe me.
Price $45,800 ono

1960 Karmann Ghia Coupe
Imported from South Africa. I was advised by the original Australian owners that they converted the drum brakes to disc brakes, the electrical system from six volts to twelve volts and the original engine was replaced with a 1600cc engine. The original South African registration plates are available if required. To my knowledge there have only been two previous owners but I cannot verify that. I have a workshop manual and details of previous work on the car since we purchased it.
The car has been repainted and the interior has been re-carpeted, the head lining replaced and the seats have been re-trimmed. The car is fully registered, drives well and is admired whenever I go for a drive. We will retain the current registration plates and replace them with standard registration plates before a sale. I purchased these personalised plates for my wife when she obtained her PhD degree. The car now has two new rear tyres.
Odometer shows 92,358 kilometres. We are selling the car because we now live in a unit and only have one car park otherwise we would keep it as a second car.
