Title: Sweet Wheels & Lost Swedish Ghia Post by: SplitMan on September 26, 2006, 10:53:13 am I followed this auction on EBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=120031278035&ih=002&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT ...and then dug out an old photo of a white Ghia track racecar that I looked at in a Swedish barn many years ago. The Ghia has the very same wheels. Makes me think - were these wheels sold new in Sweden at one time and do any of you Swedes know of any survivors....or the white Ghia? Title: Re: Sweet Wheels & Lost Swedish Ghia Post by: Roman on September 26, 2006, 17:10:04 pm I have seen a white Ghia with wheels looking like those outside Åre. They were 14" and he claimed they were from an Opel.
Maybe the same car? Title: Re: Sweet Wheels & Lost Swedish Ghia Post by: SplitMan on September 27, 2006, 06:52:47 am Must be the same car. I saw it in a barn just outside Ostersund. The old man said it was sold, or given, to a guy in Stockholm. Relative? Where is it now? And the wheels were 14s, but the are surely not Opel.
Title: Re: Sweet Wheels & Lost Swedish Ghia Post by: Rick Meredith on September 27, 2006, 06:53:17 am Are you sure those wheels are VW Bolt Pattern?
Ford had a wide 5 lug pattern in the late 30s and that same pattern was used on a lot of dirt cars.

I think I can find the owner, I have his mail address and I think he has photos of it. |
