This 1967 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe is a stylish and collectible example of VW’s beloved air-cooled lineup. Designed by Italian styling house Ghia and hand-built by German coachbuilder Karmann, the Ghia blended Beetle reliability with sleek European flair.
This particular car features a clean blue exterior with a contrasting silver roof and rides on period-correct 15-inch wheels. Inside, the black interior is tidy and functional, showing off the simplicity and charm of classic VW craftsmanship.
Originally fitted with a 1500cc engine, this Ghia has been upgraded to a 1600cc twinport air-cooled motor for a bit more zip. It also benefits from disc brakes, which came standard for the ’67 model year.
This car is said to come with a history file of invoices and spare keys—always a plus for any classic buyer. With Karmann Ghias becoming increasingly scarce in South Africa, this example presents a great opportunity to own a fun and eye-catching slice of vintage Volkswagen history.
