“I wish I could afford one that worked!!”

Join the throngs; VW Bugs and Beetles are increasingly coveted cars. You want HARD to get? Try for a Karmann Ghia.

There’s a regular VW/Porsche klatch here in Concord, CA that draws in Bugs, and Ghias, VW Vans, and Porsches of all types, and they entirely take over a park that covers maybe 10-15 acres. These vehicles have a huge and very devoted following that values them highly driving their value up for all the rest of us, too.

There was a 1973 Kharman Ghia sitting abandoned next to route 209 on the way towards mountaindale ny.
Don’t know if it is still there.
That was near 27 years ago when I last saw it.

Yepper, the Karmann Ghia is my dream car, but they’re rare as hen’s teeth.

My son restores VWs and sells them on; he has one he drives, and a convertible he’s working on. He’s not happy unless he has a car to tinker with.
