It's an April '56 Karmann Ghia I picked up back in May for $1500. It was 95% complete, only missing soft stuff like seat covers, door panels and headliner.

I'm finding that these early (aka "lowlight") ghias are not for the faint of heart or wallet to restore - at lot of funky one or two year-only stuff.

It even runs! http://66.34.72.138/56kg/ghia-drive.mpg
