Very nice! There is a 64 here that I have had my eye on but the asking price is high for the condition. The one here has been sitting on the lot for close to a year, if he would drop a couple grand I may snatch it up.
Anyway that looks like a very good find!

Thom's Ghia didn't look like that when he bought it...
I restored a 69 Ghia vert about 10 years ago - body was in great shape. Painted, new top, new seat upholstery. Nice, nice car. Bumped the engine to 1600. Wish I still had it. |

I love that car, saw that one, or one almost exactly like it at a Brake/Supsension shop near Fulton and Cottage last year, I think I drooled on it a little

 A friend of mine has a Ghia similar to this except the interior is white instead of black. He's been thinking about selling it and replacing it with a 911 cab. If anyone's interested let me know... |
