this VW was listed for sale as a 1973 Karmann Ghia from brazil.

aparently the brasilians had a different shape karmann ghia from 1970 onwards known as the Karmann ghia TC (touring coupe)

i have never seen or heard of these ghias before and found it quite interesting.. i wonder if there are any of these in australia


it kinda looks like a notchback mated with a 911

Nice....always wanted one. Would be good to cross with a 411

wicked a TC. I want that so much

yeah the only improvement i could see them making on the karmann ghia
make it look like type 3 fastback style i may be a smidge bias

I personally prefer the SP2, although I think it deserves a large Type IV rather than a 1.7

volksworld magazine have just run a feature on sp2 and the puma
good reading quote brazilians refer to the sp name as sem potenca which translates to without power
but indeed a very pretty car

heres a few photos of a ghia tc I found a while back.







I think it would make an awesome looking car once finished.
