A neighbor pulled out of his garage a 69 Ghia Convert and is willing to sell it to me. A repaint but the rest is fairly original, newish top, and it runs ok. Bout 120k miles on it....

Its in ok shape but needs to be restored...

It appears to be a 1970 model, not 1969.
Check out this site by Jason Hamilton and you'll find
a lot of information about values and pricing:
