  • Karmann Ghia

Dec. 2015 I bought a 74 Karmann Ghia that I found on Craigslist in Tuson, AZ. I believe that you need a good quality car to start a restoration. This Ghia seamed perfect to me because it had very little rust, all parts were included but it was not perfect condition any more. So for me this was the right point in time to save it.

ABOUT

If I remember the last 25 years back, what this hobby has made, I am sure that one special feature is to create a car according to your own ideas. This car is unique out there. The challenge is, that a beetle which in the original state had a maximum of 50 hp will transform into a car with 150 – 200 HP and very important also drive like one. This ends up taking uncountable hours, perseverance and focus on the target.
