    I have a 1969 Karmann Ghia Convertible and I love driving this beauty. My first car was a 1960 VW bus and my second car was a 1963 VW Squareback Variant.
    Now I am back in a VW and I love it!!

    That's a looks like a really nice, solid, honest car. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I've had my '74 Coupe 25 years.

      Yes! Can't wait to get it up and running. One of the most beautiful car designs in my opinion.

    Mate it's in much better shape than than mine! I just made my first video on it myself. I love the thought of putting it on airbags so will be keen to see what you do. Love the colour or yours. Mines very ratty and had all the wheel arches cut and ugly flares put on because it was a race car back in the 80's. Hasn't been driven since. Look forward to more of your vids Josh 👍

      @@RookieRestorations I reckon! It'll drive again though 👍 Would love to see a follow up vid of how your air system works at some point mate. It's definitely something I'll be looking at later on down the line.

    My father had a Karmann Ghia cabrio ages ago. Loved that car. This one....an absolute shame you got that low rider style of a car. Keeping it original makes that car looks so much nicer. Unless you're 10 years old.

    Beautiful car. I have a '72 Ghia and I think it handles awfully, but I make allowances for it as it is such a great looking car. It'll never break the speed limit!
    Had mine for nearly 4 years and done around 13000miles. Definitely a keeper...and a money pit!

    Like you Ive loved this car since I was a kid. Did you know it was based on a Chrysler concept car called the d'Elegance which, to me, may be one of the most beautiful cars ever built? If I ever fall into a swimming pool full of money Ill have a car built based on it.

    One of life's biggest mysteries for me is WHY do people buy a beautiful classic car or truck and then totally SCREW IT UP by Mexicanizing the suspension system? This was a beautiful Karmann Ghia until they screwed it up by dropping it onto the dirt like that! Now it's not even worth crushing!
