wax66says...Upvote for it being my favorite car too, and the utter truth about the power (even if the term 'sports car' is used very loosely here).

TheFreaksays...Definitely one of the best cars ever made. Every one hand built.
So sad I got rid of one of my ghias this summer. Oh well, didn't need two.
Power shouldn't be a problem these days. I've got 2 liters and over 150 horsepower. She moves! =)
lurgeesays...Truth!
When I was born back in '65, my father had a two toned Karmann Ghia. Black with a white roof. He said I always called it "Daddy's race car". He would always chuckle after telling me that but back then and I had no clue why. It broke my heart the day he sold it. We were a family of five then and 4 more were yet to come. He bought a new '67 Bus to haul the family and a used Beetle for him to go to his job.
About ten years ago I went to a Bug Out with a friend who had a '72 Beetle. We met up with a group of air cooled VW's known as the Slow Riders. One of them had a red 70's Ghia. I could not stop taking pictures of it. It is definitely one sexy German car.
Good to hear that you hooked up the Ghia with some extra horses.
Definitely one of the best cars ever made. Every one hand built.
deathcowsays...My mom drove a Karmann Ghia and my dad drove a Fiat Spider
