This Ghia runs and drives well and everything works as it should: All exterior lights, all interior lights,gauges, speedometer, turn signals, wipers, radio, horn, etc. all works as intended.

Original dash clock with be included with the sale. All glass is in good condition. Body appears to be all original sheet metal. Floor pans are in excellent condition. Some minor bumps, dings, rust, and wear that you would expect to see on a vehicle of this age. At one point it has had an exterior respray in theoriginal color ofChrome Blue. Paint does shine well, but does show it's age. One area around the drivers rear taillight was repaired and touched up by the previous owner. Original keys work all locks and ignition.
