Pro-Street Karmann Ghia - 25000
Would you like a one of a kind hot rod that you can actually take to the track and have some fun? This is no fairground queen. 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. No white knuckle launches or guardrail scraping passes, just pull the belts tight and run 10’s all night. Car is safe,
stable and easy to drive at the track. Rides and handles well on the street.

I'll take the 8 second combo thanks!
na thats a waste of a perfertly good karman, the engines in the wrong spot and theres four to many pistons.
yeah nice wheels but wrong motor, wrong place
very cool
very not!
Holy shit!
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.
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!!!
Look the other way and run, no thanks not for me.
Not early enough. Should have done it to a low light. :kiss
