This is no reserve auction for 1968 Karmannghia originally sold in California on October, 7th, 1968 and is titled as a ’68 and the chassis number reflects 1969. Original owner's manual with dealer documented “Viz.” date 10.7.1968 and original owner maintenance notes through 1985. 1493cc "Boxer" flat four-cylinder, Chassis Number 149042755 and engine number H5461682. Matching numbers car. The odometer shows 58,793 and it appears to be original mileage but Ohio title shows not original. Automatic transmission: VW introduced the clutch-free Auto Stick transmission in 1968. The Auto Stick transmission shifts through all of the gears. The car runs and drive but its not a road worthy car due to sitting long time.Typical Oil Leaks in the engine. The last owner purchased this vehicle in October 2016 from a gentleman in Mansfield, Ohio. He purchased the car 12 years earlier from the previous owner who moved from California to Columbus, OH. The vehicle was properly stored and the underbody is nearly rust free, including the rear suspension torsion bar tubes. The floor pans from the interior show only surface rust. He planned to fully restore the Karmann Ghia but health issues have prevented him from moving forward. The VW starts and runs and drive but has been stored/not driven for 15 years. Original Sunset paint (code L31K) and matching numbers engine. The paint is extremely sun-faded and it appears there was some minor body work on the rear decklid and the driver side front quarter panel. I went over every inch with a magnet and only found evidence of body filler on the driver side quarter panel. An excellent original candidate for restoration. Comes with clean and clear title.

We keep the right to cancel the auction anytime because the car is advertised many places beside eBay.
