|
|
| Hi, I have Karmann Ghia and the documents say its a 1975, but I know its not, I has a metal dash with the oval ash tray. I think its a 1960-61. Because I'm not sure on the model, I've been ordering parts off Samba and then they don't fit. How do I know exactly what model my car is. |

There is a language option now available. Click on the small flag icon near the top of the page to jump between German and English.
Much more convenient. |

I ordered a birth certificate on 3/2/09 using the form on the AutoMuseum's website (I translated the page with the Babelfish translation tool). It arrived on Saturday, 3/21/09, much sooner than I expected! My card was charged $45.42.
The certificate confirms that the original color of our 1962 coupe was blue, Pacific Blue (L 398) with a Blue White (L289) roof. It was painted red at some point, but was light blue when we got it. Thankfully someone else passed on it because he thought it was originally red and didn't want a Ghia that wasn't the original color. Unfortunately, we don't have the original turquoise with leatherette ice blue interior.
It states the car was built on November 23,1961 and left the factory November 28, 1961. Country of destination: USA. |

Well, I got my birth certificate. Ordered Dec. 6th, and recieved on January 14th. I used a sample letter from the first page or 2 of this thread (THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SAMPLE LETTERS, THAT HELPED OUT ALOT, AND I APPRECIATE IT).
On a seperate sheet, they confirmed that I do have the original engine.
Color: L 41 Tukan Black
Built on: Dec. 22nd, 1956
Left factory on: Dec. 27th 1956
Country of destination: Dortmund, Germany
Options: M 128 white wall tires, M 951 exterior rear view mirror
*Upholstery material Blue / Blue Grey
I hope that they continue to offer this service for a very long time. I have a birth certificate for my 59 ragtop Bug, and now for my Ghia.

Original paint, car was primered by my dad (due to a small crease on the driver's side rear fender, which needed very light body work)before I purchased the car this year, for $850 and the stock motor out of my 68 Notch. Oh yeah, The car also came with NOS Euro and American style tail light assemblies, as well as all the 36hp tin NOS, and boxes of NOS parts (he had a parts store and resto shop when I was a kid in the 80's) for that price. THANKS DAD!

I just ordered the birth certificate for my 56 Ghia...Hope it comes through so I can check for any optional equipment, and the date. I know it's a Euro (has a sticker on the winshield for California emmissions, the German plates originally issued to the car and KM speedo). My car is in original black paint, original interior, and I HOPE has the original motor. The chasis is a 138 and the motor is a 166....So I believe it to be late July or early August production.

Hi Shaggy.
VIN 138???? would be build in the last week of December 1956
1384804 was build on 27 dec 1956
1388297 was build on 29 dec 1956
Engine 166???? is likely to be original for that car.
Please show us some pictures and I also hope you will join the KG lowlight registry as well.
Regards
Patrick

When i requested my birth certificate for my 68 Vert, the version I received from the museum indicated that the original color was Blood Orange (L21E).
I emailed the museum and told them that i was fairly certain the certificate was incorrect as that particular color was not available for the 1968 model year. I received no response from the email, but a few weeks later a new birth certificate arrived with the correct color (Regatta Blue).
Anyway, they seem to be fairly responsive to questions or problems given the potential language barrier issues.
