The car is super solid and the floor pans are original and look amazing still. Only 75,919 Original miles and less then 5000 on a New 2332 CC long block engine that put's the car into another level for a karman ghia.
The Color is Bright red and the paint is 5 years old and looks amazing still The car was painted by House of color a very high quality paint shop.The paint show's Only a few minor touch ups here and there but nothing major to mention. The body is super straight and not a Bondo bucket by far. The front nose is very nice and all the bright work is new as well as all the rubber gaskets from front to back.
The black interior is pristine. The seats are new and better then the originals. They recline and also move back so plenty of room for a tall person. The carpet is new and the headliner is no torn or ripped at all. Dash is in excellent condition . It has a Am/fm Alpine radio with speakers that works well.

The previous owner had too much money and time to make this car truly a one of a kind. He wanted this car to perform like a sports car and the end result its screams power through all 4 gears.The engine was built by Power haus in California they are known for building quality race engines . The engine is a new 2332 Cc long block and only the best parts went into building this engine. Forged Crankshaf, H beam connecting rods, New high pressure valve spring, High performance cam with Aluminum gear. 30 mm Heavy duty oil pum, forged light fly whee, 94 mm piston with bore ki, chrome molly head stud, 40x35 cylinder heads with stainless steel valve, Aluminum valve cover, and so much more. I have a binder showing all the receipts for the engine build and what the parts are. Over $ 8000 alone was spent on motor and Stainless Steel exhaust and headers. This car sounds incredible and is faster then any karman ghia on the street today . It feels and pulls harder then a Porsche 356 speedster. . I just recently did some tuning to the car and it now runs even better. Turn the key and it fire's right up. It had 2 Empi style carbs that were massive and hard to keep in tune so I went to a single style carb and it runs much smoother. I have all the parts I took off and they come with the car as they are practically brand new still. I had the steering box completely redone so the car drives and handles amazing. Its super tight and very easy to steer. The suspension on the car is all new . New Bushing, front and rear along with new shock, tie rods, etc. It has New front Disc brakes which makes this car stop amazing. The rears are drum and also new. The tires are brand new and sit on Custom 15" wheels. They look incredible on the car.
