This Fiat 1500 GT Coupé built fifty years ago by Ghia coachworks is said to be one of the 50 imported, back then, by Grimm brothers of Detroit who were the official importer of these special cars. That’s a car which has undergone a restoration process but it needs now to be completed; the good… Read More Mixin’ italians/2: 1967 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
The sticker on the rear bumper is clear: “Who has the gold makes the rule”. Well, you need gold to rebuild this car but it’s a “Lowlight” KG Cabrio and it’s definitely worth it. Ineed the fist series of the Karmann Ghia has a sleeker profile on the front than the cars built from 1960:… Read More The golden rule: 1959 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Cabriolet
How rare is to find a Dual Ghia for sale, but even rare is to find one which has not yet displayed in some elegance concours because it’s under restoration. This is the #123 or, if you prefer, the 23rd Dual Ghia ever produced out of 117 cars. The best part here is that the… Read More #123: 1957 Dual Ghia
We admit that the name on the title is not 100% correct as this model was actually built by Ghia without any commission by Fiat, however in this way it’s easier to match the origin of this car. This is the same model of car we’ve published several times: we published, a while ago, another… Read More Solid and rare: 1967 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
As usual, it’s very difficult to know the correct number of how many of these coachbuilt Fiat were made and it’s even more difficult to know how many still survive: some source say that 6 only of these are known to survive. Everything of this car, with the exception of the body and interiors, belongs… Read More Less than ten: 1954 Fiat 1100 TV Coupé by Ghia
We are perfectly aware that these cars aren’t much loved by most people but a small bunch of passionate fans but, because we are part of these, it was obligatory for us to publish this very early KG. Very early as 1955 was the first production year for the Karmann Ghia and in that year… Read More Low gravity, Lower chassis: 1955 Karmann Ghia Coupè
This is not the only special 1100 TV made by Ghia, but for sure it’s so rare that much time will pass before you’ll see another one for sale. Then, other than being extremely rare, this particular car looks exceptionally maintained and basically as correct as when it leaved Ghia coachworks: ok it is missing… Read More Red and light: 1954 Fiat 1100 TV by Ghia
This is one of the most iconic car of the sixties: jet set personalities like Aristotile Onassis, Giovanni Agnelli and Yul Brinner and many more had one, mostly to load it on their yacht or as kart for their mansions. Now VIPs have other expensive toys, but few of them got the style and refinement of… Read More Jet-Set summer: 1964 Fiat 600 “Jolly” by Ghia
This Karmann Ghia is one of the few equipped with the vacuum-operated clutch system, called “Autostick”. Unfortunately this car needs much more than a clutch rebuild to run again. The seller says that it’s not a driveable car (you don’t need much imagination capabilities to understand that) and that it’s a California car so the exterior… Read More Autostick car: 1968 Karmann Ghia Convertible
We are pretty sure that the Karmann Ghia, particularly the early series, has been rated by the market as the new Porsche 356. Indeed we’ve seen the quotations of these cars to increase substantially over the years: now a (almost) perfect car like this one is for sale regularly with an asking price higher than… Read More The new Porsche: 1959 Karmann Ghia “lowlights”
