About this car
1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible listed on Cars & Bids in Coventry, Connecticut. Bid to $13,877 — reserve not met, auction ended January 29, 2026.
What the photos show
- Silver paint is glossy and even all round on this lowered, customised car, with body-colour painted bumpers — judge it as a custom build, not a stock Ghia.
- Big polished five-spoke wheels fill the arches and the low-profile tires look fresh with deep tread — no tire spend from these photos.
- Black soft top is up in one side view and looks taut and smooth; in the other shots it is down, and the rear window can't be judged clearly — budget a close top check.
- Custom two-tone patterned seats look clean and untorn, carpets tidy and the dash is complete with its period radio — no interior budget from these photos.
- One dash close-up shows a thin vertical crack in the dash vinyl below the radio — budget a small dash repair if you want it perfect.
- No engine bay photo in the sample — can't judge it, hold back money for that inspection.
- No underside photo in the sample — can't judge floors or the lowered suspension work, hold back money for a lift inspection.
Money: the glossy custom paint, wheels and clean interior support the $13,877 ask; engine bay, underside and the top's rear window are the must-see items.

Vehicle Original VIN : 1442080530 The Karmann Ghia began as a secret project. Karmann, the German coachbuilder, approached the Italian design firm Ghia in the early 1950s and together they built a prototype on a Beetle chassis without telling Volkswagen. When they unveiled it, the VW executives were so taken with it that they committed to production immediately. The car went on sale in 1955, ran for 20 years with almost no changes to the body, an
