I guess the seller name containing 356 should tip us off right away. God help us if they try to take Ghias into 356 parts land. _________________ 1974 Ghia Coupe |

This raises the question---------if a low-light has no lights is it still a low-light???
Or is it one of them "No-lights". |

The electric antenna probably plays a part in the price... |

I doubt that will be a "quick" sell off. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

But this is the Ghia section. |

His other no photo ad for the "Kumbie" is pretty special also. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

Did it really sell?
That has to go as lawn art....
It would be an interesting study to take the sum off every repair panel on a 1958 and see where you come out. Add 8 hours labor to each...and then a .20 material multiplier for paint/finish...
I'm guessing you ballpark around $20k. Then you have to worry about interior, engine, suspension etc....wowsers. _________________ 1974 Ghia Coupe |
