Description for Volkswagen Karmann Ghia 1969

Selling a rare 1969 1/2 VW Convertible Karmann Ghia that was made between design changes. It was the first year of the independent rear suspension (IRS) and the real glass rear window, nd these came only in ate 1969s. It was also the last year for the 1960s tail light design, ngine and bumpers. Bought from estate a few years ago, riole Yellow.
Good: original paint/engine/interior/roof/glass. Revamped brake system, ew front/rear disc brakes/new steel and rubber lines. New front (adjustable) beam, pindles, teering dampener, eplaced battery, ires, hocks, leaned out and cored gas tank. Have spare rear glass with defroster lines...as well as original that has no defrost lines but is clear glass (possibly earliest version of the 69.5). Garaged in Brooklyn NY, ill coordinate with your shipper. Original brown interior. No sag in floors. Engine tuned on a dime..starts immediately even after months idle.
Clear title (transferable registration for NYS). Will coordinate with your shipper.
Bad (depending?): original paint/engine/interior/roof/glass. Needs new top (frame intact), nterior panels in rear seat area, ash. Rust in usual spaces..over headlights, round outer rockers, elow taillights, some under battery. Interior needs revamp. Passenger door scraped and I'm replacing the door handle. Missing trim on both sides. Ugly and tired but lovable...has clearly been a used daily driver for major chunk of its life. Nevertheless catches the cheering eye of people wherever we go.
Will include sheet metal replacement for the rust above the headlights (see grey covers in photos), s well as the sheet metal for the rocker panels. An AS-IS sale.
For purists or collectors looking for a rare year CV in between two design changes of the Karmann Ghia, his is a great little car.
