1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Engine Start
First time starting up the 2333 cc engine (91x84mm) that I installed in my wife's freshly restored 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible. Yes, I know my coil is installed upside-down. The after-market wire harness was installed with too little slack to reach a downward-pointing coil. This is temporary.
Starting The Phantom Ghia prostock VW
First fire up after engine assembly. The Phantom Ghia is a 9 second 1/4 mile, 1958 VW Karmann Ghia door slammer. Built by Robert Cook or Cooker's V-Dubs in Clear Spring, Maryland and owned and driven by Rob Schultz. ****UPDATE**** this car now resides in France under new ownership.
1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia STK # 1027
Volkswagen made this sweet 1969 Karmann Ghia for fun road trips. The 1.6L flat 4 cylinder motor powering it was rebuilt back to stock specs 17,000 miles ago. Less than 500 miles ago the 4 speed manual transmission was rebuilt with new clutch and axles being put back in. Inside is a custom tan interior with a combination of leather and tweed making it gorgeous. The AM/FM/CD radio lets the tunes play while you cruise down the road. Custom wheels and radial tires give this Karmann Ghia exactly what it needs. We can be reached at 704-598-2130 or e-mail us at sales@streetsideclassics.com
