Record price for vintage Karmann Ghia

This is old news but I wanted to share it. I love this little car. We have had four Ghia's in my family. My parents owned one when I was 17 and I have owned three. I sold the last one almost 25 years ago and used the money for the down payment on my house. More on my Ghia's in a later post. If you own a Ghia or are just a fan drop me a line

Possibly the most original 50’s lowlight Karmann Ghia in the world, this vintage VW sold for a record $45,000 (link)
