VIN 2343106

gazelle beige 1957 ghia

Full Description: This car was originally delivered in South Dakota, possibly to Donovan Thorpe. It was then moved from South Dakota to Garden Grove, CA in the mid-1970s. It kept its South Dakota licence plates the whole time it was in CA, with the last known registration being 1985. It was rarely driven, just around the block occasionally to keep it alive. Sometime in the late 70s or early 80s, it was stashed in a garage.
Donovan Thorpe, and he taught auto repair shop. The car may or may not have been worked on by his students. He may have restored the car in the mid to late 70s. He left the car to his daughter, who sold it to Thomas Illick in 2022 in Brea, CA. It is now unrestored but mechanically refurbished, driving around Santa Cruz, CA most weekends.

Th fourth generation karmann Ghia Lowlight

VIN 1-09886xx golfcar

Full Description: In September of 2007, 988604 came to light in northern California, another late October 1955 car. It, however, had been subjected to the disgrace of being converted at some point in its checkered past into a golf cart (!) with the nose chopped off (!!) and the rear chopped off too (!!!). There's probably no chance that it'll ever resemble a beautiful Karmann-Ghia Coupe again

Webasto-sunroofed '55-build.

Full Description: Webasto-sunroofed '55-build.

The car spent some time in the UK before it made its way to the US. The original owner was connected with the Porsche factory in some way. The black 55 has a 356 motor that was installed by the original owner back in Germany. It also has a tach where the clock should be. It also is decked out with Porsche guages, and a Webasto rag top.

The White car is a 56 with 30k miles. It has a 356 Super that was installed by the original owner. The cars were put into that storage garage in 1963. These two cars are very nice. They are not perfect but they are also not restored!. Alot of history here!

Full Description: Is Yellow now and needs restoration.

VIN 2475473 (for sale)

Full Description: One of the last Lowlight convertibles made.

Original German car that was bought into the Netherlands in the early 60th and have been in the same family since. Now the son and doughter decided to offer the car for sale.

This car have been hidden in a barn in the Netherlands for nearly 50 years and have not seen any rain during that time (also hardly any sunshine). The car is super solid and has no rust.

It still has the original setas and doorpanels and also the original rare dashpad in very good condition

The owner "upgraded" the car to his personal taste (new rearlights, bigger engine, different steering wheel and some changes on the dash).
The good thing is that original steering wheel, rear light, the nose badge and also some other parts that are not seen in the picture are present and comes with the sale.

The car needs some love to change the "upgrades" back to original and off course needs a technical check as it hasn't been driven much in the past 40 years.

More pictures and information on request.

1957 Karmann Ghia

Full Description: Mostly original condition

VIN 1775890

Full Description: For sale on thesamba in july 2022.

Up for sale is this 1958 Karmann Ghia convertible. Convertible body stamp of #150. Matching VIN/body tag and pan. Thin back front seats. This just came out of a long term ownership of 50 years. This is an original black plate car that runs and drives with a 1835 engine, 67 trans, and converted to a 12 volt system. This Ghia was painted back in 1980 and some of the usual bodywork of the era was performed. Overall it's fairly solid, complete, and should clean up nicely. Years ago it had a Porsche 356 engine installed and the decklid rack and tach still remain in the car. Some additional items include some of the carpet, rear bumper, and another hood. Clear California title and current registration included. Fun little driver that can be enjoyed right away and taken to the next level by the new owner when they are ready.
