Me too...the word begins an "F" six letters and ends in a "D" Laughing

Anyone that's been keeping up with the latest trends would immediately recognize the condition as "Barn Find", which is why the seller hasn't cleaned off any of the OG dust.

After all, it's only original once.

Ha! Just saw some trim for the license plate housing on eBay for $999.99... Had to be a typo.

It looks like they already sold 64 of them (only 10 left), so they must be reasonably priced Laughing

You know how the heat from the bulb can melt the plastic lense? Don't have to worry, this tail light solves that problem.

Its German wood. Wink

Ok, not a whine. Just thought this was interesting to see a Golde roof up for sale.
Somebody should buy this before I swap out the rag top in my Ghia. Cool

I can make that frame with better timbers in half an hour for less than $20. Any takers?

Just kidding.

Smile Perhaps that's why the "real' OG lowlight taillight has a 2 piece glass lens with metal chrome outer ring (as opposed to that cheap one piece plastic repop gem in the ad).


BTW Darrel, I appreciate your subtle play on language, ... but admit that I first had to have Google explain it to me. Embarassed

In response to the question posed "Is it lense or lens?", Google explained
Google wrote:
Both are correct, but they are different words. "Lens" is the glass thing that focuses light. "Lense" is a verb meaning "To make lean; to macerate".


Clearly you knew which one was correct for that taillight. Laughing

Perhaps none of you realize the value of owning a Karmann Ghia with a VIN as cool as 12345.

I mean, what are the odds?
(Something like just one in twelve thousand, three hundred and forty five, if I'm not mistaken! Shocked )

Smile I remember seeing a Bus I liked that also had a really even VIN#, something like 45000.

I thought that made it cooler... to me at least
