Itinerant Air-Cooled

Driving up to Seattle on I-5, on the east side just north of the Cowlitz River, I spot two Ghias on flatbeds.

So, made the stop heading back to Portland and gave them a gander. Projects for sure. A '58 lowlight in surprisingly could be much worse shape, but wrong wheels and 1600 dp in it. The other, a '59 convertible in rough shape, but stock engine that was running.

Dude said he had a replacement roof piece for the '58, as a tree had dropped on it. Didn't ask what he wanted for the roof piece. He was solid on his prices, and isn't interested in chatting up folks, like ourselves, just looking, although....

$2,500 for the '58, $4,500 for the '59.

Ahhh, to dream.

I blew past a gorgeous 1971 orange Karmann Ghia convertible in satisfyingly stock condition two days ago on I-85. Now he knows these buses can do 75 all the way from New York

I saw a Ghia vert for sale the other day it was a '74 and had a type 1 single port that ran poorly but the body of this car was very solid. They were askin $8K
