A restoration to this level of detail is not seen very often. It's like a glimpse of what it would have been like to see a brand new Ghia back in 1970. Congratulations. Beautiful work and a beautiful car.

Thought I would post a final update on the restoration of my wife's 1970 Ghia. Many thanks to Bryan King for the fabulous attention to detail & workmanship. Lenny Copp, thank you for the wonder upholstery work and door panels! Many other vendors I could thank. The Ghia drives as nicely as it looks.

WOW! Simply outstanding. Absolutely gorgeous. It actually looks better than factory as the paint is soooo nice. Love it.
