Yes I ripped off the idea from the split bus thread. Lets get a post going of ghia's you found and bought; found and parted; found and left; etcetera. Post pics!!

60's - Totaled!


Yeah, it looks like a sapling grew through the rotted out light bucket, then it grew and blew the metal out. Thankfully someone pulled the complete front bumper and put it inside the car!! I nabbed that. The drivers door was ok, but I wasn't up for hiking with it. The rest of the car is shot. Creepy place owned by a creepy lady.

60's -Rust belt special


73 - Thrashed and rusted


so far all of mine are junk status. I picked a few goodies and left the rest to increase the mineral counts in the area.

I got this crusty but mostly complete May, 1958 coupe for $300. Original 36HP/transaxle and interior (albeit spraypainted black). The nice fellow who I bought it from even delivered it to my garage.

We picked this one up in July for $500.00




We just picked this one up for our 14 year old son. It will be his first car.



We hope to pick this one up for my father before winter.



This one is too far gone. (for us anyway)

60's Vert. Just needs a little work.....


71 fixer upper


My 67 parts complete less engine.used for my other 67. I got her for $200. She was in much worse shape than the photo would suggest


After the harvest. On her way to becoming an appliance , or (shudder) a Honda. May her soul rest in piece.

Anyone seen this early Ghia Vert in Mass about to be crushed? There has to be a couple of parts to salvage.

Solid nose! No major dents anywhere.

Some rust is starting to get in there & the doo-doo brown 2 tone paint job. Minor dent on the decklid.

Cobwebs, but solid engine & clean looking gas filter (even though some ya'll hate em). Minor hole right under battery.

Good luck. I was thinking of doing the same, but I'm just too damn busy to get up there. Let us know how you make out!

58lolight Sat Jan 13, 2007 7:36 pm

I am only a half hour south of the boneyard. Even if the car is a complete loss I see parts in the pics that I need for my 56 coupe. Should be a great treasure hunt!!!!!!!!

58lowlight, did you pull that vert out? Post some pics!

58lolight Mon Jan 15, 2007 5:18 pm

The yard was closed on Sunday but I called them today. They are selling off or crushing all of the cars in inventory in the next two months. My friend who is a Mustang nut is going up Wednesday to look around and scout the car for me. If it looks good he will slap it on a trailer and bring it to me. If he dosent take his trailer I will arrange to get it all or parts on Saturday as its the soonest I can get there..........


Wish me luck.......
