Parts & Restoration "Sunny" ~ Karmann Ghia Cabriolet ~ Price: SOLD [ I want THIS Ghia Cabrio! ]

Expertly finished in a retro 50's style, capturing the romance of early motoring. The PPG paint is light Sapphire Blue Metalic (ala Bernina Blue). Dash accents are white with all dash pads in blue to match interior and roof. Exterior chrome includes old-school mirrors, 60's rear bumper, early nose emblem & luggage rack on deck. The custom interior by ReVOLKS is a blue vinyl and tweed with white piping on seats, door panels and boot. Oatmeal, close-loop pile carpet with cloth binding finishes off this lovely interior in the style the designers at Ghia would approve. Have a boo at this transformation from Plain-Jane to Beauty Queen. The last few pics show this lovely on the road during a cruise down to fun-filled? New Orleans for her "trials". She performed awesomely, running on stock wheels. The exhaust header & dual quiet packs proved to be too much of a restriction for that monster engine, so it was replaced with a larger S&S header in the fall of 2000. The wheels have been replaced too with original VW Marathon wheels (aka "Baja" 10 spoke steel) and painted the same color as the body with accented chrome center caps and lugs.
