Slightly customized, but nicely colored “within the lines”… this is a beautiful car, and can be yours… made as a project to spend time well worth at the start of last owners retirement. it’s just a gorgeous build, nicely detailed car, out of service for at least 5 years we picked up, hooked up a battery, changed fluids and off we went, I guess that’s what they call “Build Quality”… this one is made good…..

Paint holds up very nice and is in very very good condition, the black canvas hood is also close to “as new” condition… topped off with a set of chromies! 

The slightly lowered stance is a pleasure for the eye, don’t You think?

For a Ghia convertible the gaps on doors and hoods are very reasonable lined up, its important too as it tells a lot about condition of the body….

The Fat boy muffler finish the look from the back, what’s under the hood???????

Look at these lines, like an arrow as straight!

More arrow….:)

Inside we await the clock that’s out for repair, but does come along!  the HURST shifter can be replaced with a stock one, but we must admit this shifter drives real well, shift so smooth! this was also the very mother model of all shifters, a pure vintage speed item it is! The seats and carpets are all clean as we could expect from the outside, no surprises, some extra gauges to keep en eye on the power plant in the back…..

And a power plant it is! wowh! this baby rocks, hydraulic lifters, dual carburetors You name it, not the most fast, but extreme reliable, to cover extreme long Texas distances in a glimp…. so You can drive this where ever You want to go, all over Europe!  what a machine….

If a Ghia Convertible is on your wish list this might be it… we sell this car at about half of a restoration cost, maybe even less… so this is an extreme good deal for you! for all information and or prices just send me an email on Bob@bbt4vw.com  or come to visit us at the Spa Francorchamps Le Bug Show on the weekend from 3 and 4 august 2013, we will have this car at our booth, …..unless sold before….:)

Build in France 1932, unbelievable cool vehicle primary build for agriculture purposes, this car could tow, work, schwimm and drive, what else could You wish for….
