Rescued this one the other day. Had been on offer up for sale for nearly a year. All five early 15x4.5 OG Fuchs were still on it. $5500 later it was mine.

$5500? You got an amazing deal. The model looks familiar to me as well? Maybe she was in the Hot VW magazine a lot back then?!? Gorgeous!
SKills, I look forward to following along and watching you put this Ghia back to stock. Just lifting in back to stock height and putting stock rims on will be an amazing transformation.

Congrats Tony that is a nice ride and with the real Fuchs an amazing deal. I remember this Ghia was back in the day. This car was one of the reasons why I decided to build a Ghia. Here is a look at my old Ghia, I sold 10+ years ago.

iTunes and Google Play are now seeing a surge in downloads of the Offer Up app.
Nice score on that Ghia. What are your plans for it? |

Offer up is horrible. I bet the seller went insane from incesant notifications that had nothing to do with the sale before that price was possible. |

Tony, I sold it to a guy in Hawaii. It has changed hands a couple of times since then, but it is still in Hawaii as far as I know. _________________ September 1964 Standard Sunroof walk through SWR/BG original paint. |

My lost 68... did this one up back in 84 and sold it in 89. Last seen in West Palm, FL. Adam’s had it on their lot for a while and hadn’t seen it since. 1600 DP with Type III swingaxle. Anybody remember it? It was in the June 85 issue of Hot VW’s. Thanks

Does anyone recall a '68-'72 in St. Pete's/Madeira Beach, Florida area with a similar paint job to this, but a black car with a turquoise "splat", also on Empi 8 spokes with no bumpers? The last time I saw the car was around 1990 (so I would have been 7 years old or so), and I had photos of it but I've misplaced them. _________________ '60 Canadian Standard, '64 Bug, another '64 Bug, '66 Bug, '69 Sunroof Bug, '69 GT3 Bug, '71 Super, '72 Super, '73 Canadian Custom, '74 Love Bug, '83 Mexi Bug, '85 Cabrio, '94 Mexi Bug, '99 New Beetle, '02 New Beetle Turbo S, '03 New Beetle VR6. And some Fieros. |

I actually still own this bug and it's currently my daily driver _________________ These vws are cool but the people who own them are far more valuable. Keep friends close they can be taken away overnight.
