I've been looking for a Ghia like the 1970 coupe I had in high school/college for quite a while (years). Good, clean unmolested examples are becoming increasingly hard to find. So, I'm doing my normal internet searches and come across for a '70 model for sale in TX. I contacted the person who found the car. Here's the story: The seller purchased an estate in Texas- land with a small house with a garage. The garage was chocked floor to ceiling of junk-old lawn chairs, toys, paint cans-you get the picture. As the new property owner is in the process of cleaning out the garage, they discover this Karmann Ghia under all of the junk! The car has been sitting since 1993. The car was purchased from a dealership in Austin in 1969. The original owner had the car for a year and titled it to a relative. It has the original "Albert Blue" paint (well scratched), no rust and less than 42K well documented miles. It has the normal issues that a sitting car would (rusty gas tank, etc.) but I couldn't be happier. It will be a fun journey getting this great old Ghia back in shape.
