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

QUOTE(9146986 @ Mar 7 2004, 01:14 PM) . . . . Let me tell you as cool as it is, for me it's just plain scary. There isn't anything to these cars. I would hate to be in any sort of accident with it, let alone with the kids in the car. .. . . . . Yeah, I often wonder how it would stand up in a collision. I mean, just the heater channels and the tunnel. That's it. One of the things I originally liked about the Ghia was that it had a back seat. My kids are 8 and 11, and they're starting to grumble about who sits in back. (SUV's have spoiled this entire generation). Get out on the road with the top down, and the sun shining, and they're happy again though. But in terms of accidents, there's no seat belts in back. I installed some, in mine, but they're by no means as safe as seatbelts engineered in by the builders. In fact, in 73 and 74, they converted the back seat into a storage shelf, because the Ghia was on it's way out, and they didn't want to redesign the car for a safe back seat. Anyway, the Ghia had disk brakes in front. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
