It wasn't easy to find a complete, 1960's style rear bumper. It takes about 8 pieces to make one rear bumper. The front bumpers are almost as hard to come by...
Those tail lights are original Hella European-style tail lights. The American ghia tail lights didn't have amber turn signals.]]> photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 04:01:34 -0500 http://www.vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/68ghia/68KGinside.jpg.html http://www.vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/68ghia/68KGinside.jpg.html
If you've checked out www.mycarburned.com you'll understand why I have a fire extinguisher in there! I painted the dash to match the car for a more sporty look. Originally a 1968 car would have had a fake, wood-grained covering on the face of the dash.]]> photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 04:01:34 -0500 http://www.vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/68ghia/68KGbackyrd.jpg.html http://www.vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/68ghia/68KGbackyrd.jpg.html
I put stock wheels back on the Ghia. I bought it with the 8-spoke empi wheels but I kinda like these look of stock wheels better. These are chromed stock wheels, so they're a little more fancy than what came on the car from the factory...]]> photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 04:01:34 -0500 http://www.vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/68ghia/Flashy68medium.jpg.html http://www.vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/68ghia/Flashy68medium.jpg.html
This is another one of my most favorite shots! My Uncle and I passed this guys garage on the way to a VW show in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The owner of the garage saw us drive by and hopped on a scooter to chase us! He caught up with us and invited us over to check out his garage of old signs, motor cycles and toys! I think he even had a 50's style soda booth in there!]]> photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 04:01:34 -0500
