Summary
This 1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible was converted to an electric vehicle in 1998, featuring a 144-volt Advanced DC motor and a four-speed manual transaxle. The car, which has spent most of its life in California, was repainted red about a decade ago and has a recently replaced black soft top. While the odometer shows approximately 48k miles, the true mileage is unknown, and the current batteries are noted to need replacement.
