I was amazed at the white Beetle, because it seems to be that someone has surgically implanted the cool oval type rear window onto a later model with larger side windows! This would make it lighter inside, the original cars with oval windows were just too dark inside. If my eyesight was still precise enough for driving, I would buy it! Certainly, when it also is already fitted with a 1700 engine! But your red convertible K.G. is also beautiful AND so shiny! The paint is still good on this one!

Great video! I want to reincarnate myself to be like Josh and live at your house! Great upbringing. It reminds me of me! My oldest brother ran an auto repair business out of our garage of my parents house. There would be 5 to 10 cars parked along the avenue that he and workers would complete work on daily. Amazed that he got away with that back then as he essentially ran a full-time business in a residential zone back in 1978-1986. I was always hanging out and watching VW's engine rebuilds and I also help striping junk VW's for parts. He would give me a Philips screw driver and I would remove all the light lenses and whatever I could before the junk wrecker came to remove the vehicle. -Let me know the next time your going back to Virginia and I can meet you along I-84! -LOL

Early Vw's had single stage paint with the clear coat mixed in the paint. Newer cars use stage 2 paint with baseboat/clearcoat and if you don't constantly wax stage 2 the clear peals off unless you lay extra clearcoat layers. I like stage one and have redone many.

Josh reminds me a lot of my girlfriend's youngest boy. So inquisitive and eager to help. Lucky his dad is into cars. It's a good foundation. Also nice find on that Ghia. It's a shame those two coupes were returning to the earth but at least you'll save this one and get her back on the road. You're lucky to have them be so available out east. Here in Dallas they're pretty difficult to come by as far as decent fixer uppers go. They're either REALLY bad or $10,000.

Josh does a good job, "probably" he had a good teacher. grins The Karmann is a beauty, with some polishing (the paint isnt acryl yet?) and welding you could bring it back to its former glory.

Uuuh, really fantastic! A great find, seems to be not in too bad shape, good luck with it. I simply love the design/the beautiful look of the Karmann Ghias (especially the older and first ones). For my kind of taste one of the best looking younger oldtimer cars of all time (like Plymouth Fury = Christine type, Opel GT, his bigger brother coke bottled Corvette, Ferrari Dino, Datsun Z/ZX, Citroen DS, AC Cobra etc.p.p.). Best regards. Postscriptum: Great little polishing man!

Dear@@5150mxVW Thanks for answering. Also for making, taping, editing, uploading and sharing. Because I simply love everything that is green here comes my unstoppable question: Did you also buy the green and older Karmann Ghia? 3) The very first types with the really small rear lights I like the most. Only saw one in over 50 years. Best regards.

That Ghia's pretty clean, and a Big vote for putting the 1776 in that one, as the Karmann's are Sporty, and that goes together even better than a fast Bug ;). Unbelievable that top isn't rotted away, and is in that good of shape, but you better inside storage that one, or it will quickly deteriorate. Maybe you and Mustie1 could do a joint channel 'engine refresh' on that 1776 in his garage? Just a thought, and maybe some extra Ghia or VW parts might help tempt him into it? btw, Josh is turning into a video producer/editor/star at such a young age, and bold prediction, 20 yrs. from now he has a subscriber base bigger than most or a tv show by then.

Consider it DONE LOL....on my end anyway. The Ghia is in the garage and good to know Joshua has something to fall back on in case baseball doesn't pan out lol . Thank you for the great comment 217👍

I'm not really a VW fan... Even working for the brand hahaha But have to admit this convertible is a true beauty!! Love how it still looks more than nicely preserved after some cleaning, once finished an with an engine in it, it sure must be a joy to drive with the top down!! You're lucky there are some of them in USA, here in europe these are extremely rare and they cost quite some money!

Rust always seems to be within about 6 inches up from bottom of panel or seam so even a really bad looking rusted panel might provide a patch panel for an upper damaged panel on another car.
