The Type 1 engine is the same for a Ghia and Bug with two minor differences, both related; The air cleaner is different due to the differences in body shape. The Ghia air cleaner is designed to fit off to one side with a crossover tube to connect to the carburator. On some carbs there is a slight difference in air correction jet size, to account for the differences in the air cleaners. My family owned a '62 Ghia hardtop (my dad bought the car just over a year old in '63), my first was a '59 hardtop purchased from a junk-yard car dealer in 1975, sold in 1995, my second was a '70 ghia vert, I owned it from 1980 to 1990. I am currently restoring another 70 vert doing a frame off, hope this helps aggieme81@gmail.com

Are beetle bumpers the same as Karmann Ghia bumpers?
Not at all Ghia bumpers are unique to the Karmann Ghia. Beetle bumpers only fit the Beetle models.
Where is the fuel pump located in a 74 Karmann Ghia?
Same place as a carburetor equipped beetle, between the dizzy and gen/alternator stand.

Same as all years of production, same as beetle model year (same tank is used). A little more than 10 US gallons
Are seats from a karmann ghia 1968 and 1973 the same?
no 68 seat tracks are wider than the 69and up ghias
Where is the generator located on a 1972 karmann ghia?
Same as any type-1 base vehicle, above the engines crankshaft pulley and to the right of the carburetor. The generator has a v-belt driven pulley on one end and the cooling fan (enclosed by the shroud) on the other.
Is it possible to replace a 1970 Karmann Ghia seat with a 1970 VW Bettle seat?
yes I would not recommend doing this, as the seat frames are different, a bug seat is higher than a Ghia seat, not sure if the bug seat and ghia seat have the same frame rails, however, might be a problem with headroom. The Ghia is substantially lower than a bug, the front seat area is both wider, and a bit longer than on a bug, and seats would generally not be considered interchangeable.
Does the 1971 VW super beetle have factory disc brakes?
No....BUT... You can swap over certain years brakes/rotors from the Karman Ghia over to the Beetles. Or you can buy the "kits" that do the same thing.
What is the length and width of a Karmann Ghia?
The body width is 1620 milimeters (63.779 inches), and the length including bumpers is 4140 milimeters (162.992 inches). These are the factory specifications for the 1956 through 1959. The 1960 through 1971 models should have the same width and length, but the 1972 through 1974 will be a couple inches longer due to the larger bumpers.
What size is engine new VW beetle?
It depends on the year of the beetle. If I remember correctly 1999-2004 engines have the 1.8 Turbo. Those same years also have 2.0L Non turbo, and the 1.9L Turbo Diesel. I believe after 2005 they stop making the turbo beetle completely and give them a 2.5 L engine. The other models of the VW brand still come turbo, just not the Beetle.
Is there any type of beetle that go through the same stages as that of the meal worm beetle?

Will a windshield from a 1965 beetle fit in a 1969 beetle?
1965 to 1979 is the same.
