About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Some tiny blisters on the front bumper and a small dent in the windshield frame. Small chip on the passenger's door. Small crack on the tail. A few light scratches on the windows. Some cracks on the steering wheel rim but otherwise very good fully restored interior. Very clean restored underbody. Quite a bit of quality work was put into this car and from only a few feet away it's a showstopper. Up close, however, there are a fair number of flaws. At the end of the day, it's a very good car by Karmann-Ghia standards that also has desirable accessories and a rare hotter engine.

Market commentary

This is an extremely expensive Karmann Ghia, especially considering that it's a coupe, but given all the rare accessories, the Denzel engine and the quality of its restoration, this isn't an entirely unreasonable result.
