Sure, you can cruise to the burger joint or go on a rod run, but, if you want to hit the Friday Night street drags at the local track you have a car that has already been down the straight and narrow.

Holy shit! :crazy:

Yes, the motor is in the wrong place, but with a nice under-bonnet intake system (ie without the bug-catcher sticking through the bonnet), I'd learn to live with it. :tu:

Very nice! Its a shame theres to many pots and in the wrong spot, waste of a great looking Ghia!

I would love to get it sell the drive train and use that money to begin the turn around to get it back into a rear engine flat four toy!!!

Each to there own tho it does look good!!!
