For some time I have been seeing Ghias and VW convertables selling for prices way above 914s. What gives?

There was a great article in 1974 in Car and Driver that compared a Ghia Vert to a 55 1500N Speedster. Surpriningly, the cars perfromed nearly identically. They went so far as to say, that the Ghia was the last speedster.
I have it 'round here somewheres. I'll see if I can scan it. If anyone else has it, please post it. Lastly, the Ghia was and is a very pretty car. Great design and they actually were built fairly well. Rust has claimed most of the east coast cars, so there is a limited number of west coast cars available. Let those prices go up. I'd prefer that they rise, rather than see 914 prices go too high and ruin all of our fun. |
