68,498 Original Miles * Sierra Yellow Survivor * Factory Air Conditioning * Original Documentation * Exceptionally Original
Offered for sale is this beautiful 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe, an exceptionally well-preserved survivor finished in its original Sierra Yellow (Paint Code L11H) with a black interior. Aside from one professional repaint in its original factory color, this Ghia remains remarkably original and retains the charm and character that have made these elegant German coupes so collectible. Showing 68,498 actual original miles, this Karmann Ghia is a rare opportunity to own one of Volkswagen's most stylish and iconic automobiles.
With only 12,430 coupes produced for the U.S. market in 1972, these cars are becoming increasingly difficult to find in this level of originality and condition. Power comes from its dependable air-cooled flat-four engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine starts instantly, idles smoothly, and runs exceptionally well, delivering the reliable and enjoyable driving experience that has made classic Volkswagens famous around the world.
This Ghia has been meticulously maintained, and nearly every feature continues to operate as it did when new. Everything from the headlights and horn to the gauges, windshield wipers, interior lights, gas gauge, speedometer, and windows functions properly. Even the original factory AM/FM radio remains fully operational.
One of the rarest and most desirable factory options on this car is its factory air conditioning, an uncommon feature on Karmann Ghias and a welcome addition for comfortable warm-weather driving. Additional factory features include:
Factory air conditioning
4-speed manual transmission
Original AM/FM radio
Dual outside mirrors
Factory seat belts
Dealer-installed undercoating
Black bucket seat interior
Original-style steel wheels with VW hubcaps

Originally purchased on December 31, 1972, from Volkswagen of the Five Towns in Inwood, New York, the car was sold new to Anne Palma of Valley Stream, New York. The original purchase paperwork documents the transaction, including the trade-in of her 1969 Volkswagen and the addition of dealer-installed undercoating, providing an exceptional level of provenance seldom found with classic Volkswagens.
The body presents beautifully in its correct Sierra Yellow finish, while the black interior remains clean, inviting, and highly original. The car has clearly been cherished throughout its life and is ready to be enjoyed by its next caretaker. Whether you're looking for a unique weekend cruiser, an award-worthy survivor, or an appreciating classic that's as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire, this 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe checks all the boxes.
Combining originality, documentation, rare factory options, and timeless Italian-designed styling by Carrozzeria Ghia, this is an exceptional example of one of Volkswagen's most beloved classics. Located in Farmingdale, NY 11735

Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Buyer's Guide
Emily Chen here. The Karmann Ghia is the car that convinced me the VW air-cooled platform was genuinely interesting, rather than just reliably dull. The Beetle underneath is the same car — flat-four air-cooled engine, torsion bar suspension, the same basic engineering that sold 21 million units — but the Ghia body transforms the experience. Not the performance, which remains modest in the extreme. The experience: the way the car looks, the way it sits, the craftsmanship visible in the panel fit, the sense that you're driving something that was made with care rather than just made.
Ghia designed the body; Karmann of Osnabrück hand-built it — hammering the complex curved panels over forms that couldn't be press-stamped at Volkswagen's production scale. The result is a car with panel surfaces that still reward close inspection 50 years later. That's a manufacturing accomplishment worth understanding.
