We probably dont have to tell you theres something special about this 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. The bold paintand#44; extra wide fendersand#44; and racing wheels give it an aggressive attitude thats backed up by an enlarged performance-built VW motor. Best of alland#44; theres only about 3and#44;000 miles on this exceptional value of a custom build. This is a cool take on graceful European stylingand#44; with added bold American flair. The dark metallic blue is the perfect way to introduce this Karmann Ghia to the world. The color is just a shade before midnightand#44; which helps with the sinister attitude. It has the luster of a modern clearcoatand#44; so its the perfect gateway to custom body pieces such as the push bumpersand#44; painted grilleand#44; and the fully integrated widebody kit. That last piece really upps the aggression. Starting in the front with a lower air dam that flows into the flared front fenders and onto the doorlineand#44; the body gets wider to help integrate the enlarged rear end that hold tires large enough to be a drag racer. And speaking of competitionand#44; the Centerline wheels really tell the world this VW means business. The custom gray interior provides comfortable cloth bucket seats for two. The original basic gauges are goneand#44; replaced by a full VDO package that gives you a much more comprehensive look at the mechanicals than the factory stuff. The center of the steering wheel has VWs Wolfsburg crestand#44; but the upgraded sports wheel helps telegraph the front suspensions activities directly into your fingertips. Theres even a Hurst shifter with line-lock for the best in performance. So while this one has a AM/FM/CD stereoand#44; you really know the best soundtrack is coming from the protruding exhaust. While this coupe has been very unique so farand#44; the best standout feature is in the engine bay. The owner claims thats the original VW blockand#44; but as you can seeand#44; plenty has been invested in giving it a show-stopping shineand#44; and very importantlyand#44; a ton more power. Its not just the dual carbs and other performance components that makes this one the hottest VW you can gets your hands on. We all know theres no replacement for displacementand#44; so the four-cylinder has been bored out to 2110cc. The full package makes around an unbelievable 150 hpand#44; which gives the lightweight coupe some serious performance. Add that to chrome headers and a bold exhaustand#44; the result is the look and sound of an outlaw. But this custom KG is far from the unruly experience that its skull and crossbones VW logo may suggest. It has new inner and outer bushingsand#44; upper and lower ball jointsand#44; and new bearingsand#44; which make for a very solid feel on the road. Add in front disc brakes and the grip of Goodyear Eagle tires all aroundand#44; and this is one outlaw that you can easily keep in-line. Beautifully builtand#44; this car is about impossible to duplicate for the price. If youre a VW fan looking for something a little outside of the ordinaryand#44; this Karmann Ghia is one hot ticket.
