I notice fender vents just behind the front wheels ..... does this Karmann Ghia retain its VW drive train or has it been converted to a front engine configuration?

pro time. I think that it´s not fender vents, but the reflex of the windows in the background. BTW, rear engined

A study by Senor Piancastelli, whose team also created the Brasilia. This Karmann-Ghia had Mercedes-Benz headlamps and Porsche wheels.

Seen below together with a stock Karmann-Ghia:
