i purchased this 1973 karmann ghia coupe in 1989 in los angeles California; I am the second owner the first owner having put approximately 63000 miles on the Ghia. thus a 25 year relationship between car and man flourished; this car is a family member with all of the requisite joys disappointments and surprises any familial relationship affords. I have travelled across America twice in Ghia; I have delighted in every single ride in Ghia regardless of whether Ghia has from time to time not been able to get me all of the way home [ gas pedal cable break shift cable snap out of gas and indeed just outside of Beaver Utah during BeaverFest [where grown men dress up as beavers] a blown engine ]. Sometimes Ghia was beat up at the playground [ the challenges to keeping a perfect Ghia 'nose' are not to be exaggerated ]; I have always taken care of Ghia [ most of the records of maintenance repair and bodywork have been kept ] interestingly Ghia has been earning her keep in recent years; Cooper Classic Cars in New York has regularly 'hired' Ghia for a variety of print and film work including the J Crew Catalog Target and countless fashion shoots -- true provenance ! The unique aspect of this particular Ghia is that it is extremely well maintained as well as being a driven vehicle; granted ever since the purchase of a Volvo C30 I have averaged a 10 mile trip about town once a month or so this car is not locked away in some museum-like environment; it get outs to see and be seen. Every little thing from a faulty light to the occasional mysterious noise is lovingly fixed or coddled by Gene's Foreign Car Service in Broomall Pennsylvania Ironically Gene's is the best 'doctor' Ghia has ever had; no California repair shop can even come close to the expert maintenance offered at Gene's. The fact is it is time to allow this family member to fly the nest. I am not able to give over to Ghia the time it deserves to continue to see the world and be seen. I have given it one last spa treatment overseen by Brent Morgan Motor Cars in West Chester PA. Ghia is absolutely glowing now. . .and I am ready to hand it over the lucky individual who will no doubt be celebrating Ghia's 50th year in 2023. With Ghia you will blink and the years will fly by. . 4. A $1000 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of close. This deposit reserves the vehicle and removes it from the market.
