Hello to all eBayers!I have been with eBay for several years and I want to keep my reputation here 100% positive. I am a private collector, who has endless passion for classic cars and trucks. 90% of the vehicles have been rented out to movies commercials or high-class parties. Right now, I’m liquidating my collection since I’m selling my warehouse. Are you an old vehicles connoisseur looking for classic/vintage vehicles without having to pay luxury prices? You are in the...right place! I know that magic feeling when the right quality meets the right price, so I sell my vehicles worldwide at the most reasonable prices.This vehicle has a clear IDAHO Title. If you need to get a CA title for this vehicle, I can help you with that for an additional fee.1966 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA PATINA SURF SHOP RAT ROD Very unique 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia with great patina and vintage hand painted Ron Jon Surf Shop logos. Lots of thumbs up when driving around town and always people asking questions or just looking whenever I stop for gas. One of a kind and super fun to drive. This car has achieved great character from the elements of mother nature the past 52 years.MechanicalThe engine was updated a couple years ago and built to a 1915cc with EMPI D 40mm Deluxe dual carb kit. It has amazing torque and runs great. Starts right up, has great oil pressure, and doesn't smoke. The clutch was done at the same time and still has great pressure. The shifting is smooth and accurate in the transmission with the recently updated shift linkage cage and bushings. Brake shoes, rear wheel cylinders, wheel bearings, and shocks were done about a year ago. Fresh battery couple months ago. It is still running drum brakes on all four and stops just like a classic Volkswagen. Has wide 5 lug pattern with 15x7 rear wheels and 15x5 fronts. Ball joint front end with lowered drop spindles. The steering box is tight and it tracks nicely down the road. Yes it is lowered and while I think it still rides great for being this low.Exterior This is not a restored car. It has bumps, bruises, scuffs, scratches, and scrapes. But that is what makes this Karmann Ghia very unique. This VW Ghia that has all the cosmetic imperfections from the past 52 years but it’s mechanically sound and you can enjoy it driving around town or shows. I believe at some point in its life someone had replaced the front fender hence the non-functional welded up gas door on passenger front fender. Yes it has some body rust here and there but the pan is solid!InteriorThe interior seats and door panels were done about 12 years ago and have some sun fading to the gray and black velour material but are still very presentable and functional. The carpet was removed to expose metal floor boards. Its missing the sun visors and the original headliner has some tears in it and has seen better days. The original VW glass is in great shape with no cracks. Both driver and passenger door side windows are functional and roll up and down easily. The rear quarter windows are pop out style and also work as they should. The heater boxes are functional and work it has sub-par defrost capabilities like almost all classic Volkswagen vehicles do.
