Didn't like the color at first but it grew on me. Whatcha think?

I like it, Don't care much for the Rocket Boost Pod on the side! :wink:

I used to have a 1964 Ghia that same color. The chicks loved it. Very clean ride you have there. I bet the "rocket pod" out the passenger window freaks people out.

Yeah that swamp cooler works pretty good in the summer

Nice Ghia, I'd love to have one as clean as that. I personally don't go for the eyebrows, but that's just me.

Nice Ghia. What type of lights are those on the bumper?

Sun Dec 07, 2003 11:22 pm

I actually really like that color on it. Looks very nice! Oh and, I do like the eyebrows. 8)

The lights are KC off road lights that I got at summit. They look vintage enough and they double as REALLY high beams. Don't use them at night with on coming traffic.

Now that is a kickass Ghia. I like the color and the eyebrows. How do those coolers work? I always thought they were sweet. Something about a Ghia on Fuchs makes me want to have a giant motor to embarrass all the Boxter owners around here.

This one is a newer one, I fill it with ice water, it's electric so the fan still blows when I'm not driving although it does get colder the faster I go. The water soaks into a couple of pads insise and the air passes over them and brings the cold air into the car. I used to have an older thermador, but they really don't work worth shit unless you're doin 40+. It has an 1835 with dual 44's, but I don't think it could hang with a Boxster.

It's ok if it won't hang with a Boxter. IMO it has way more style and class than a Boxter. A Boxter is are such a bandwagon Porsche better suited to a sweater vest wearin wussie.

True..
Taking the spirit and name of a great car manufacturer and turning it into white tennis shoe wearing, soccer mom, trophy wife "weekend" car. I.e. Hummer H2?

Tue Dec 09, 2003 8:38 pm

Yep. Don't even get me started on H2s. You know they are basically the same as a Tahoe. Same interior, same suspension,same engine too I believe. Just a different body. I read in StreetTrucks mag an article where they used a Tahoe lift kit on a yellow H2. But anyway.., Post some more pics of your Ghia. :D
