No price as he didnt know what it was(Karmann Ghia). When I said it was a VW he said "weve got those" so I am sending my friend with a pic of the car so it can be indentified by the guys who work there,but I cant imagine it will be much. I am hoping for 200 or 300 dollars but I am never that lucky. I guess I will have to not seem too desperate but it
will be tough.

Bought those haggard bumpers for $60 yesterday... great deal for two bumpers

That HUGE dent in the front fender and the pass. 1/4 panel were both done with the mans tractor years ago Rolling Eyes

Found the Nosebadge, headlight rings, nose grilles and taillight parts from an early ghia sitting in my town for cheap
The car has 0% of the floors left but its in the works!

I guess he's getting old to be working on cars. Oh well. I'll let him drive it at least once when I'm done with it. (whenever that may be.)

You guys are brutal. Wink

When people link them to photo hosting sites that the link doesn't work, its really not up to the reader to search to see if perhaps the person also added it to the gallery....

Nice Okrasa head Lind!

Hopefully some decides to save that ghia. It looks a little rough, but not gone. Quite the paint scheme on it too. I like the burlap seat cover..

A neighbor of mine had a car covered for about 8-10yrs, couldn't hardly see it much less tell what it was. Last year the cover rotted off..... this was underneath.

'1968'

I hate you Evil or Very Mad why can't I find deals like that! I don't see any rust. If that's original paint, I would wax the crap off it and leave everything how it is.

Yeah I deserve that, it's the story you always hear about but never happens to you, the only way to buy old veedubs Razz Rust in the headlight buckets and a couple holes down low along the bottom of the panels but minimal. Original color but painted over...and looking up close probably by Earl Scheib Rolling Eyes
