This Karman Ghia has been garaged it's whole life. My husband bought it in June of 2013 and became the third owner. The car is a beauty. I have extensive documentation from the original owner to include: original bill of sale, original title, title change when the original owner changed to her married name, plaque from a car show in Florida and numerous maintenance records. The car does start and run and drive... Unfortunately not for me. I never drove VW's and don't seem to have the right touch. I had maintenance done in December 24 and January 25. It was flatbed towed both times. I never insured it for street use. I'm sure it will make you very happy! Let me hear from you. Sandee Winter
