Sorry guys I don't know much about Karmann, just starting to pick up some info since I bought my Crossfire. I thought this was kool, I know (Mike?) should be able to tell us something about it.

James I bought a 3 spd Javelin in 1977, lime green, with those overly large fenders over each tire. My Dad was against it, I thought it was just fine. Drove it forever, it was a good car just large/long and I guess funny looking

 

I'm not exactly sure of what if anything Karmann designed. I believe they simply got the cars in disassembled form, and reassembled them for sale in Europe. Much the same way AMI did for AMC distribution in Australia.

Remember this was back during a time when American Motors was on a roll, and had visions of World Domination on their minds. In a "Mouse that Roared" capacity.
