We enjoyed the car and drove it all over the country, but a very few years later we were blessed with a daughter and a son. We traded our KG for a station wagon. Every time we see one out in the wild we both say "I want that" but now we are in our 70's and again it wouldn't be practical. We do have a 1966 bug that has been in my wife's family since new, but it's in about the same shape as your Ghia...

This guy's son was pancaked in his Ghia and this guy was restoring this one in honor of his son, so, money and time was no object, this one was a hardtop.

I worked on one of those about 33 years ago... and it had more rust than that (being a Michigan car). It was actually in an Automotives class at a local community college. We had to replace the complete exhaust and headers on it (with used ones) as well as the starter and battery and the teach rebuilt the entire wire harness for the back and we put it in. We also did plugs, wires, belts, filters, and oil. We also mounted 4 new tires. The body was pretty good on it, but there was a lot of rust underneath. We were not in auto body, but the teacher did replace a few panels underneath and did some welding. We hit some of the other rust with some wire wheels and cleaned it up as best we could... then painted anything that needed it. The car was for a friend of the teacher and it looked and ran pretty good considering what it was like when it came in.

In the early 70's, in Australia, a friend turned up one Saturday arvo in his VW van. The motor was making the most incredible double-clanking noise I had heard coming from an engine. He wanted rid of it and we did a deal whereby he drove off in something else. (At the time if a vehicle was taxed, anyone could drive it). Within hours I had got the engine out, and was clawing it apart, I had to see what made that noise. Unbelievably, the crankshaft had broken inside the center main bearing, the reason it kept running was that it had snapped diagonally down the angled oil-drilling hole, but was trapped by the bearing cap. Knowing the owners driving style, we put it down to him always driving whereby the engine was labouring under too high a gear. A lesson for us all, I think?
