1956 VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA CUSTOM COUPE

Details

This 1956 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a 'Lowlight' example powered by a 1835cc flat-4 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transaxle and fitted with a replacement 1967 chassis. Subsequent work consisted of overhauling the braking system, repainting the body in Metallic Blue and retrimming the interior in red vinyl upholstery. This example includes an adjustable front beam and rear spring plates, front disc brakes, dual exhaust outlets and a front sway bar. The exterior features chrome-finished

bumpers and a roof rack. The chrome has been replated and the seals, door glass and quarter-windows have been replaced as well. In addition to these modifications, it also had a fresh Competition Engineering tuneup performed. This example rides on 15-inch steel wheels wrapped in Coker Classic whitewall tires. The cabin features seats reupholstered in red vinyl and color-coordinated door panels sourced from West Coast Classic Interiors. Contrasting beige square-weave carpets are fitted, and additional equipment includes a roller-style accelerator pedal, a glove compartment, front lap belts and door pockets. An ivory-colored steering wheel wears an aftermarket center cap and frames a replacement VDO instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer and a fuel-level gauge, all next to a Philips radio. This example is said to have been imported from the U.S. to Canada in 1988. **TITLED AS 1956 VOLK SPECON** **SOLD ON BONDED TITLE**
