KG's with big tail lights
blompod - October 3rd, 2003 at 06:54 PM

How come people dont like the later Karmann Ghias cos they have big tail lights and blinkers? no one says anything about the later type 3's. same tail lights. and I can replace my tail lights for a fraction of the cost, same as type 3

When it cames to Karmann Ghias...
I just love the late model ones with the late type 3 tail lamps front blinkers and the late type 3 Bumpers....
Its a shame that model Karmann ghia wan't sold here in Australia.

I was talking to a North Queenslander who owns a late Karmann Ghia Cabriolet at Nambucca. The car was an ex USA Ghia now RHD and immaculate...
He said He entered the Ghia in a VW Show in Qld, and the Judge said, the Ghia wasn't original as it had type 3 tail lamps... and was excluded from the show.
Boy I bet He was mad.... Lee

I wouldn't mind that in MY garage....
but I'll bet it uses a lot more fuel than a 1600cc VW engine ...
Maybe I couldn't afford it after all...
Oh Well....
