I wanted a convertible sports car and choose the Karmen Ghia because if needed, repairs could be done at a very modest price compared to other foreign sports cars, plus the classic styling of the car is one of the all time best. I also found interiors could easily be changed out if desired, plus with a standard engine, insurance was very inexpensive. When we found it was 99.9 rust free and i still is to this day and there are a couple a paint scratches here in there so check the pics out. The entire body was painted to a Polar White, which basically is the same color as the hair on a polar bear, showing a hint of yellow/cream. The only rust was under the battery which I guess is quite common for the Karman Ghia's, he didn't cut it out and replace the metal, he ground it out, primed it and painted over it. Other than the wood sports car steering wheel, dash cover and carpet kit, the interior remained original from purchase which I believe is from the factory and the door panels, seats and headliner are in great shape for their age as this little gem spent most of it's like garaged. We also had a new convertible top made for it and installed a quiet but low and throaty muffler system and the top still looks new and goes up and down with ease and latches right up and there is also a custom 1000 watt stereo that plays cassettes, CD's and as you can see from the pic has been carefully wired with a great amplfier and crossover networks so you aren't wasting power by sending high or low frequencies where they don't belong. Here's what it needs:Plastic rear window is splitMechanic says the car needs head work but the low end is good so as of now car is not running4 paint chip's and they are smaller than a dime, don't know where that came from, garage living I guess. A rebuilt engine long block is about $1,400 and a rebuilt long block with new parts for about $1,700. This Ghia is in very nice shape for it age and is the more desirable model from the 60's as the 70-74 have the funky large lights and just don't have that same look. Look no further for a very nice Ghia that just needs a few more items done to be top notch .....It's been in storage for many years and I just dropped $1.200.00 (pics of receipt shown) into it a month ago to get rear brakes, carburetor rebuilt and a general overall maintenance check to make sure it's ready to drive without and problems once the new owner decided on the heads being swapped out for about $1,400 or just wants a fresh long block put in for $2,300 and both those prices are with labor. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this at anytime before it's scheduled end and as usual with a 46 year old car there is no warranty. A $500.00 deposit is due within 24 hours of the purchase and the balance via bank transfer or cashiers check within 7 days.
