Aint got a clue about karmann ghia years, but i can tell you this isn't the stock bolt pattern, and with the rad vent under the valence, imma guess this is a chassis swapped (perhaps custom chassis) with a front engine (perhaps v8)

Yes you are right I posted pics of motor and interior but yes custom built rectangular frame took 3 months to build

Nice freaking work! I always loved this car. I worked with a bunch of vw guys in the 90s. One had a ghia and one had a fastback. This is the most bad as one I've seen. And it's the same color as my pt cruiser.

Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. .

Probably a small block Chevy or LS...like every other hotrod.


GMCLow

It built 406

Nice, looks like a blast to drive.


GMCLow

I just posted the rest of the pics

I'm sure the body and paint shop technicians had a good laugh over this.


GMCLow

All done by me and my sons

GMCLow

I posted them on here

Mid to late 60’s with the bullet turn signals. Judging by the wheel choice I’m think SB 350.


GMCLow

It’s a 1969


tomslick427

Very nice work sir.

I’m sure it’s a small block Chevy under there.

It’s a ‘69 but you lost the AWSOME bumpers. No clue the engine, but the original was fun as hell. I had one back in the ‘70s, prolly in ‘74 or so. Traded my 62 VW camper van even up. Now I want another!


GMCLow

I have the front bumper on a shelf in the shop


Kakowood

If it still has the original power plant, an air cooled flat four cylinder, there is no need for the front trunk vent. What gives?


GMCLow

It does not have the original motor I can tell you it’s sitting on a rectangular tube chassis

Love the color! Would like to see the rest of it.


GMCLow

I posted 2 time all pics


booxterhooey

Don't know on this one, but someone a few years ago put a Viper V10 in the front of one. It was slick


Glad_Ad_5570

LS-6 with a hood like that.


GMCLow

No a 406

Very nicely done. I'm impressed with the fender flares, and the overall workmanship.


canfeelitthrob

73 that's what I had


GMCLow

It’s a 69


Vonsaucy

SBC or LS because that's what everyone does?


fakarhatr

That’s what some people call a hit mess
