My new little toy

63 Ghia I stoled....

Very nice ride, Kevin! Will that be your daily driver?

More that 50 years since it first hit the market and that is STILL a good looking car. Nice ride Kevin.

Schweet!

i have a 74 ghia that needs restoring underneath my deck, belongs to my girlfriends father, dont know if it is for sale but id sure to get rid of it.

Nice score Kevin. We were just talking about you last weekend after Cars & Coffee. Hope to see you and the sweet Ghia soon.

I miss my 58 lowlight conver...

Kewl Ghia!! I've got a 1972 that my son and I are restoring,got it for $250 complete but not running and kinda beat. I think we might do the early beetle headlight conversion, kinda makes it "Porschey" looking like a Glockler.

Sweet! Only thing I find missing are the side mouldings; I suggest you put them back on for a fully finished look and a totally killer car!!

Sweet Ghia!!!!

Hey Speed Bucket, I got'ta say.

Speedster windshield, frame, post and mirror along with shaving the door handles

Just BEAUTIFUL ! ! ! ! ! ! !


Speedy, do the Type I headlight conversion, made even my shit box look good. I did the tail lights as well.

Oh, and a roof rack with a little luggage is classic . . .

a "little" luggage for sure!!!! love it. What is the paint color TC?

Iron oxide textured finish with morning dew clearcoat

That car is HUGE!!!! those suitcases look tiny sitting on the roof like that.

The hood scoop is wicked-cool too.

Hey guys,
I was reading this thread and it dawned on me some of you might think the Ghia pictured in my post was mine. I wish! Its a pic off the web showing the Porsche style headlights like Team Evil's.
The link to it is here,

Our beater 1972 Ghia is a work in progress.

It will never be the sweet classic Kevin's "new toy"is!

Speedy,

If you need parts, I may have some. Lemme know and they're your for shipping, OK?

I cut mine up and threw it away last year or so.

Check out the front beam that was in it 'til the end, the front tires are a testimony to what a good speed balancing can do, car tracked beautifully for years.
