Default 1968 Karmann Ghia - Los Angeles

https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=591388

h:

I spent the morning doing a half-detail on the car and it came out pretty snazzy.

There are so many Ghia's for sale I was wondering what the asking rate should be on the car from the resident VW experts in here.

This is Bekah's brother's car we're trying to sell.

Is it a shameless plug if I'm shameful for doing it?

I was just wondering what the going rate should be for it. h:

With a custom it's tough to price out without seeing. It's not over the top at all so I could see it moving fairly easily at that price.

Of course in person these things always look different.

BTW has it shown? Won awards etc? Mag shots? that can be a big selling point

Nope, Chris bought it because he saw it on the street with a For Sale poster on it. He bought the car as-is. Never put it in mags/shows.

Theres some paint chips and some areas where bondo is cracking - but for the most part its in good condition. Hence the lower price.

Thanks for the insight !
