Hi all,

My friend got a 1972 Karmann Ghia with about 48kmiles from his aunt. What's the best website to get information on Karmann Ghia? Thanks.

I like http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/

The rules say you have to give us pictures though.

This is reasonalble place to start.

Richard Troy, the past, and perhaps current, president of the club is a walking encyclopedia of Karmann Ghia info.

Man, I'd love to rework one of those:

-Use a design similar to Rorty's:

-Substitute Subbie 2.5 turbo for V-8

-Sneak up on various suckas!

(I'm such a child sometimes)

I don't know where you are, but if you are in the northeast I would highly recommend going to deutsche classic. It is by far the best VW show I have been to. There are also all kinds of German car and a great swap meet.
