RobC=> pardon my ignorance but is the T34 => the ghia? The Karmann Ghias that most VW people know are the Type 14s, which are built on Type 1 mechanicals. The Type 34 is a different Karmann Ghia, built on Type 3 chassis as the top of the VW line for the '60s. It's completely different from the 14. Your question seems to refer to Type 34 convertibles specifically, as others have pointed out. According to the last numbers I read Karmann made 11 of these as prototypes or production models for shows. Like the Notchback convertible, the 341 fell to cost-cutting at the very last minute before full production. However, something on the order of 45,000 coupes were built over eight years, with and without electric sunroofs and with left- and right-hand drive. The largest-ever US gathering of Type 34s happened at the recent Classic in Irvine CA. There were 29, I believe. As someone else said, all known convertibles in the US are modified coupes. Gods of the VW world? Hardly. At VW shows 34s are generally treated as an oddity at best. Because they were never sold in the States other than grey market, few VW enthusiasts even know they exist. Most folks on the street think it's a Volvo, a BMW, or most often a Corvair -- I had one guy at a show calling me a liar and insisting it was a modified Corvair. So rather than having the top-line status it deserves (imho), the Type 34 is more often a forgotten ghost. But if you get a chance to drive one, take it.
