This 1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia has been modified in the Baja style more commonly seen on Beetles, and the result is actually pretty cool looking. The seller details a recent, professional heavy duty transaxle build, adding that the car starts easily and runs well–furthermore, it also sounds to be ready for the upcoming duning season. Find it here on Craigslist near Los Angeles, California for $5k or trade for listed vehicles. Special thanks to BaT reader Eric B. for this submission.

The lack of a cage and harnesses will need to be tended to prior to taking this one out in the sand, so it’d be best for the next owner to budget these items into the total costs. These are the only two photos provided, but condition looks to be decent and we dig the paint scheme–emphasizing the rear fenders only exaggerates the car’s already cartoonishly pumped-up looks, with clearanced fenders providing space for 31″ mud tires.

Of course some smoothies up front and paddles in back would be more ideal for the sand, but there’s probably enough clearance already dialed-in. We’d love to hear some details about the engine, but the seller instead focuses on the new, professionally built and strengthened transaxle. All lights are said to work, and the car is road registered and legal.
