I've seen Ghia GTV's. Pretty rare compared to their Beetle Brethren.

Of course it's a nice car; it's orange. Standard logic protocol... clearly.

I think that's each buddy, if it was $49.50 for a set I'd be there in a shot. But 200 bucks for a set of rims? Jeez I ain't made of money |

Thanks Slingshot for posting this review. How cool would a 105hp K Ghia have been, brand new. Even better would have been the 1900cc 911 killer. Neat to read what a usable car this little gem was. I always dig cars that can be run around like normal stuff over high strung "talk about" cars.

My pleasure Jim. It would be very cool to hop in and test drive one of these babies off the Econo lot. I wonder what I would honestly buy if I could go back in time? A Shelby Mustang, a GTV Ghia or Beetle or even a 356 speedster? Man... you 60's and 70's guys sure had it good.  |

I wasn't really referring to Jim, but to all the other old guys Can you imagine all the trouble Jim would've got himself into if he owned a Delorean back in his Mullet days. |
