Not mine, but here are a few not public pictures of Joe Hullet's 1970 ghia. I believe these pictures were taken around 84 or 85. My buddies brother painted it. It had an 82 x 88 IDA engine with N20 and ran 12.0s. The wrecked picture was taken the week after it was painted, it was fixed before being featured in Hot VWs.

It is actually a metallic blue, not black.

That Ghia is Joe Hullet's car.  The engine was a 78x90mm (old school NPR pistons).  One of my all-time favorite cars back in the day.

This car was built in the 90"s but kind of looks like 80's to me with the color and all.

Re: the blue Ghia ,Edwin "Pee Wee" Barron was a member of DKK.  That car when it had the 48 Ida motor is one of my favorite cars ever built. In person it was stunning. Another unknown beautiful car.  Bill
