Oh yea, I had a new '62 KG with a Judson supercharger... ahh what a car.

We know who won that deal. I have also heard from knowledgable people in the Ghia world that VW either has designs or they are working on a prototype. It may never happen but the retro movement still seems strong so who knows. Meanwhile I will enjoy both.
I understand a new Karmann Ghia cannot be called a Ghia as Ford owns the rights to that name.

Just sold the Ghia a while back after driving it
for about 15 years! Hard to sell it, but the TT
was definitely the closest I could come to a
modern-day Ghia (and my, how German sports coupes
have changed in 35 years!). :&gt;

Personally, I have that silly grin every time I get in... but opinions will vary.

LOL, If you get up to New England any time you can take the Ghia out for a spin or the Split which hopefully will be finished this year or early next.
