Title: GTV GHIA Post by: SlingShot on August 31, 2008, 00:22:43 am Thought Fred "empicollector" would enjoy this one. Comes from Motor Trend, June 1967.
BTW Has anyone EVER seen a real GTV GHIA???

Pretty rare compared to their Beetle Brethren.

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. ;) Title: Re: GTV GHIA Post by: sheep on September 16, 2008, 03:51:41 am Thanks Slingshot for posting this review.

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. :D Title: Re: GTV GHIA Post by: Jim Ratto on September 16, 2008, 16:03:57 pm I think when you bought a DeLorean it came with a mullet.
