Spotted this at the local WalMart today:

I've seen much, much worse on ghias... I dislike the spoiler, but the bumper bars and exhaust I chalk up to personal taste. Not MY taste, mind you.

I've seen several ghias that are without the rear deck to show off chromed fan housing, painted in black primer, lowered and with "kustom" interiors. Poor things.

This one is more to my liking:

definitely all about personal taste. to me modern wheels and very low profile tires look out of place on old cars.

It's a stock Ghia body - 73-74. The camera angle makes it look out of proportion.

Spoiler sucks.

bumpers count for a lot on ghias and fastback/squareback, looks wise.

That ghia is running a 3.6 993 motor. Lots of video online about it. It's wickedly fast.
