This is my 1974 Ghia. It was a hunk of junk when I first purchased it. Five years later after taking it compleatly apart it's now my favorite toy. 87mm pistons too. The gauges on the dash are VDO, but I purchased three "BUS" fuel gauges from junkyards. I removed the chromes rings and installed them on the new VDOs. Now they match the originals on the dash.

I had a green one, bought in '75, paid $3300, sold in '79 for the same amount, it was auto shift and we had two minor wrecks but it was beautiful, kelly green with tan top, kids came and I sold it. Yours is gorgeous!

Ohhhh baby - You did a fantastic job on that restoration! I love Karmann Ghias. I've restored a couple now, I'm in the process of restoring a 1962 Ghia Convertible now, just need to put it back together.
