About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Restoration completed in 2022. Paint is well done, but with one tiny bubble on the hood. Interior is excellent, with finely fit upholstery and carpeting. Panel gaps are inconsistent. Fresh and gorgeous for a Karmann Ghia.

Market commentary

Step back a day. Gooding sold Lot # 19 yesterday, a 1974 Karmann Ghia 1600 46hp Convertible for $56,000. This '59 K-G brought Porsche money. For a 36hp VW. This is beginning to resemble 190SL mania: a slow, boring car bought for serious money, but it's what history supports.
