Between my new job and moving to a new city, she's waited about a year
for her floor pans to be finished. Currently her body is up on blocks
while she waits for her front and rear suspension, brakes, and other parts
to be replaced and/or reassembled. After that the body work begins
to take care of the usual lower rot. Her engine has been hanging from
the ceiling of her temporary garage since last fall when we were threatened
with a flood.

This car will jump in value in about 2 weeks. I am having 4 floor
pan quarters welded in, as well as all undercarriage rust removed and replaced
with new metal. The paint that is on it is only one year old, but the
individual I bought it from had a family member paint it, and let's just
say he isn't a professional (door jambs are still original color!).
Everything on this car is original, and all chrome and interior are in perfect
condition (even the chrome on both sides of the doors). The top is
in mint condition, as is the headliner, both of which are original.
The engine is the original engine with 103,000 miles, and runs like a dream
(oil leak from somewhere, though). The interior only needs carpet
on the driver's side, with no tears in the vinyl. Dashpad is perfect,
glass is perfect, body is perfect, and bumpers are perfect. In the
process of replacing all body rubber and adding a few miscellaneous interior
cosmetic that are either broken (back seat catches) or mi!
ssing (passenger side mirror). Was told by an appraiser (the one
that gave me the $5500 value above) that new pans and new paint would boost
the value close to $11,000!! That's pretty good, considering the paint
and pan work will only cost me around $5000.

She's been dependable while other cars come and go. We live in Arizona
,so it's too hot for us in the heat to drive her. The motor
runs like a champ, but she's been very neglected cosmetically. One
tail light needs to be replaced,windshield is pitted,but no cracks.
We have the windshield wipers and motor but not installed. We have
the orginal hubs.We recently had new shocks and alignment. The clutch
needs adjusted/4th gear pops out sometimes. What we would like to
do, is find someone who loves Ghias, to sell her to. She would be easily
cherried for someone who could spend the time and money needed...we're just
sorry we can't.

be Porsche Zenith Blue. Am hoping to get it on road summer 2000. That would

1970 Ghia Cabrio. Appears to have been well restored by a previous owner.
Last owner was not very mechanical, but had the car maintained frequently
and always parked indoors. Everything seems to be stock, except some of trim
has been removed. Also has an aftermarket steering wheel. Car is black, but
this is not the original color. No rust! Hooray!Desperately needs a new roof
top and headliner, but top frame seems pretty good. I will probably repaint
at the same time (just saving up the cash). I also need to do some electrical
work & redo the seats.

black and red (painted by me!) i am still not finished, i want to strip
the inside and put in a roll cage and bigger engine. every thing in side
and out looks to be original, no rust, but one smashed in rear driver side
fender, but was bent out by previous owner. don't know what number owner
i am but would like to find out. plus i would like to find out more about

Originally Pampas Yellow - Now a high gloss black, my Ghia was built in
July of 1970. I purchased the car on July 19th, 2000 for 1500.00 from a gal
who had
owned the car for the last 16 years. My Ghia
spent the majority of its life in California and I believe I am the third
owner. The car has a couple of small rust spots along the bottom edge and
the nose has been hit. Other than the nose and a few spots here and there
the cars in really pretty good shape. I've done a lot of work to her over
the last few
months and plan too do much more. I bought the car as a restoration project
and will do body work, interior and such as time and money will allow. I
use her as my
daily driver and the rebuilt 1600cc, single port engine runs great.

Purchased in Wasilla, Alaska on the street corner. Body is
in bad shape. Floor pans are totaly rusted out. Driver seat is
about two inches from road. Rust up front in the spare tire wheel well,
rust in the back. Missing back bumper. Windshield is cracked.
The doors close. I was able to drive it home. Purchased over $1,600.00
in parts last week in Seattle including floor pans. I plan to take
the body off and work on the frame first. I have never taken the body
off a Ghia. (Any ideas or tricks?) This will be at least a two winter restoration.
The last restoration was a 73, SuperBeetle.(Two winter restoration)
It came out great and just put 3,000 miles on it this summer. My wife wants
the Ghia when I'm finished. She does the seats, and is great at rebuilding
the carburetors. She is a CPA and likes to work with a lot of details
as well as numbers. If anyone has done a complet off body restoration
I can use some suggestions on any pitfalls and things to watch out
for.

This 1970 Bahia Red coupe is all original with 54,000 original miles.
Completely stock, no rust, an excellent car. Other than routine maintenace,
the only thing I've done to it is add a Sapphire AM/FM radio. The antenna
lays in the trunk. I didn't want to drill a hole in the fender to mount
it. Recently I replaced the Continental bias ply tires with custom-made
radials that "look" like the original Continental white wall tires.
The paint on this car is incredible. Most people think it has been
re-painted. It hasn't. Garage kept all it's life, I do the same
and drive it about once a month. But, since I have the new tires I
may take her on a road trip soon. The car always receives nice comments
when I have it out and about town.
This is my third Ghia. The first two were purchased new in 1967 and
1972.

My car is mostly original. Here's the good: Nice back seat, straight body,
good nose, nice chrome, good bumpers, original dash with no cuts, stereo
works, nice dash pad, very complete, strong new engine with about 40 miles
on it. It's a 1641cc dual port with 2 Kadron (Solex 34 PICT) carbs on it,
Bugpack header and muffler, new distributor, new clutch, bigger doghouse
fan, new oil cooler, fast valve train. It's got quite a bite. Now, with every
good, there's a bad. The bad: torn top on both sides, duck and vinyl taped
(very classy), torn headliner, torn vinyl on the front seats, horn ring is
cut (ie, no ring), carpet is kinda gross, pan is rusty, battery tray is rusty,
some bondo work, some rust on some chrome, couple of small dents, original
(faded, primered in places) paint. From far away, it looks pretty good.
up close, it's not as great. But, I plan on completing the restoration of
this car sooner or later, and when it's done, it'll be sweet.

This is a very nice 1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe. It is bright yellow
with a black interior. It has a 4 cyl, 40 horsepower engine with a
4 speed transmission.
This car runs and drives wonderfully, good brakes and all systems work
well. It would make a great daily driver. The interior is very nice too.
The engine compartment is clean, no oil leaks. The front storage compartment
is very clean.. The paint is fairly new and looks great and it has
new tires. It is ready to go. Mechanically this car is in great shape
and has always been properly serviced. It looks great too......from a distance.
There has been extensive body damage repair. There is considerable
bondo in the fenders and doors. It was damaged in both the front and the
rear and some of the repair work was not done very well. The passenger
door needs some adjustment and the doors and the trunk need some realignment.
It is owned by an elderly couple and I thinksomeone charged them alot of
money for bad work. This car has always been garaged and properly maintained.
It is a cute little car and would make someone a nice daily driver. And it
does look nice unless you inspect it closely.

THIS IS A 1970 KARMANN GHIA CONVERT. BODY IS BASICALLY STRAIGHT, BUT NEEDS
THE USUAL RUST REPAIRS. THE FLOORS SEEM PRETTY SOLID, BUT I DON T THINK
THEY WERE REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL TYPE FLOOR PANS. SUPPOSEDLY THE CAR WAS
A FLORIDA CAR??? AND WAS RESTORED BY A WOMAN DOWN THERE. SOLD TO A COLLEGE
STUDENT AND EVENTUALLY DRIVEN UP TO NEW YORK, WHERE IT WAS STORED IN A BARN
FOR MANY YEARS.....I BOUGHT IT TO RESTORE...TOO MANY OTHER PROJECTS!!!! THE
CAR IS A TOTAL PROJECT AND NEEDS A TOTAL RESTORATION. AS I SAID THE BODY
IS BASICALLY STRAIGHT, WITH PLENTY OF RUST. THE CONVERT TOP SEEMS IN GOOD
CONDITION (FRAME AND VINYL). BUT FOR A GOOD RESTORATION IT TOO SHOULD BE
TOTALLY DONE. ENGINE IS SEEZED--I WAS TOLD THAT IT RAN WHEN IT WAS PARKED
IN THE BARN????? CAR IS PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE, BUT IM SURE IT WILL NEED MANY
ODDS AND ENDS. TOTAL PROJECT!!!

Cal look Ghia project, All glass and seals removed for cheap Blue paint
job, all glass and new seals included but not installed. Fully polished riviera
alloys with chrome 3 bar knockoffs and new 165R/15 tires with 0 miles. Solid
body, no signs of damage to the nose or rear end. Front wrap around turn
signals filled and brand new clear bullet assemblies are included. I bought
the car as a project and haven't had the time to put it together. Includes
tons of expensive parts, seals, glass, light lenses, door rubber, wheels
and tires, rebuilt trans, includes a complete uninstalled dual port engine
with ghia header system and quiet packs, lots of extra cooling tin and fan
shrouds. Condition of engine is unknown. New uninstalled carpet kit and headliner.
Too much to list. Just the wheels and new rubber seals are probably worth
the reserve. Ghia specific stuff isn't cheap.
Very clean, solid body. I've owned quite a few Ghia's and this is probably
the best starting point I've seen in a while. The paint is recent but sprayed
by a previous owner. I was going to repaint it so I never reinstalled the
glass or rubber seals. No damage to nose or engine compartment. One very
small rust hole in middle of front passenger floorboard. Pans are otherwise
solid. None of the normal Ghia rust problems. No front seats or bumpers, will
include chrome "T" bars if buyer wants.

Body-wise, it's very straight but has rust in the usual New England
areas, the quarter and rocker panels will need repair, as will the floor
sections. The frame backbone is very sound, this Ghia is indeed restorable...
I restore and have restored VWs so I can speak with authority on what is restorable
or not. This Ghia has a Bug front axle assembly under it at the moment, it
has drum brakes on the front, not the Ghia disc brake setup. There is no
engine or transmission in it at the moment, I will provide the winning bidder
with a transmission in good condition and a single-port engine complete with
tin in rebuildable condition. Bumpers are not included

oil cooler in the doghouse. I
am not sure but can say it is very clean and strong. All brakes
are new including front calipers,rotors,pads and rear wheel cylinders,shoes
and adjusters, and
brake fluid flush. One new tierod and tight steering.Like
new spun aluminum wheels and tires. Body has very little rust. Includes
many new parts.Runs, drives
and stops very well. Now the bad news.....
several small rust holes in front pans (am told they can be
easily sealed with fiberglass, needs rear pans. Needs carpet,rubber trim,stainless
trim. Needs a rear
bumper (but includes new front and rear chrome bumper mounts.also
includes new short shifter kit,parking brake cables and several other misc.

Plastic media blast inside and out. Replace right and left rear 1/4
floor pans, complete new nose, new headlight bucket, all fender rust cut
and replaced with panels. All engine tin removed, blasted, and powder
coated matte black. New wiring harness. New ignition switch, wiper
switch, regulator, starter, battery, etc. Clock and Speedometer rebuilt.
New hidden stereo cd player installed. New dash pad, knee pad recovered.
New carpet. Seats completely rebuilt and custom covers sewn (to look
like orginal). New canvas top.
Have all receipts. I would be happy to discuss the pitfalls/rewards
of restoring your Ghia. Also, would be happy to share my complete cost
list, parts suppliers and service shop recommendations. tmckinn@hotmail.com
This Ghia was professionally appraised at $17,000 (spent well over that
amount on the restoration). However, market value (the amount the next
person is willing to pay) is probably around $10,000. Contact
me to get a better sense of the TRUE cost to retore this type of vehicle.
Don't buy one (because it only costs $1,000, etc.) and don't start a restoration
until you have really honestly researched how much time and money it may
take and what you're really willing to put up with. I can't express
this enough: IT IS FAR CHEAPER (and smarter investment) TO PURCHASE
ONE THAT HAS BEEN RESTORED (preferrably by a retentative person that has
all receipts) than to do your own restoration. Check out www.thesamba.com
for a great selection of better quality restorations.
