I can't be stopped!

1973 VW Karmann Ghia convertible with the rare Auto-Stick option.

Good engine and transmission (I think!). Needs floors, front fenders, and interior.

I have a sickness.



It's painted red, but original color is green on tan.

Anyone want to help me take this home this weekend...???? I'll pay, provide food, beer, etc...

this weekend is bad for us.
The trailer is undergoing modifications to cater to the SVT, we're doing yardwork, and we're attending a party.
sorry man

and I agree, you definitely have a sickness.


edit: forgot to say congrats on your new project car.

if you would seriously be willing to help, i can maybe ask the seller to wait until next weekend. i can pass papers this weekend and just pick it up whenever you're free.

it's generally closer to you too. I'm picking it up in Georgetown and taking it ot my Dad's in Haverhill.

for anyone who's counting, this is old car #5:

1974 MGB GT - Sold
1979 MGB parts car - Stripped and dumped
1973 Mercedes 280 - Sold
1988 Saab 900 Turbo - Sold

and now this. incidentally, an orange KG convertible is what started this all about 7 years ago. i was going to buy it for $500 before the owner's son came over and took it. then the car search began!

also, if anyone knows someone with an old 40s or 50s pickup, gimme a holler.

As a fellow old-car lover, all I can say is... ROCK ON!

I'd love to help you out and check out the ride, but this is a really bad month for me. Definitely post some photos when you get a chance.
