Introducing this late-model 1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Sport Edition Coupe, finished in eye-catching Saturn Yellow over a black interior. This color and stripe combination, yellow paint paired with black hockey stick side stripes, was part of a special early-1970s Volkswagen marketing push designed to refresh the Karmann Ghia's appeal as the model approached the end of its production run.
Highlights:
- Saturn Yellow Exterior Color
- Hockey Stick Side Stripes
- 4-Speed Manual Transmission
- 1600cc Dual-Port Air-Cooled Flat-Four Engine
- Single-Barrel Carburetor
- Front Wheel Disc Brakes
- Classic VDO Instrumentation
- Three-Spoke Sport Steering Wheel
- Wrap-Around Turn Signals
- Chrome Bumpers with Overriders
- Lemmerz GT Sport Style Wheels
The Sport Edition look is defined by its contrasting black side stripes along the beltline and lower rockers, giving the elegant Ghia shape a more athletic presence. While some Sport Editions featured blacked-out trim, this example retains its classic chrome bumpers with overriders, a combination many enthusiasts prefer for its timeless appearance.
Power comes from a 1600cc dual-port air-cooled flat-four, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the engaging driving experience that made Volkswagens of this era so beloved. Front disc brakes provide improved stopping power, while the classic VDO gauges and floor-mounted shifter keep the cockpit true to its period roots. The car rides on 15-inch Lemmerz GT Sport-style wheels wrapped in Michelin tires.
Inside, the cabin features front bucket seats, manual crank windows, pop-out rear quarter windows, map pockets, and a glove box for added practicality. A vintage Sapphire XV radio with a fender-mounted antenna adds period-correct charm, while the driver-side mirror and clean layout reflect the simplicity that defines classic Volkswagens.
The Karmann Ghia's body was designed by Italian coachbuilder Ghia and hand-assembled by Karmann in Germany, making it one of the few Volkswagens of the era that blended Italian styling with German engineering, an uncommon combination in its class.
If you're looking for an air-cooled icon that's enjoyable to drive, full of character, and true to its roots, this "Sports Ghia" is a standout example that is mechanically sound.
