    Well, it's time for another one of my "Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot" Postings... and I did one on the Ghia L6.4, along with it's predecessor, the Dual Ghia.

    You will have to cut and paste the link into your prowser, since Gawker no longer supports linking in this commenting system, but you will enjoy the article...

    This--or one of its 25 sibs--and 6 or 8 of those got Barris'd, y'know--sold in 2007 for $181k at auction, which was mid-range to expected.

    That ends the factual part of our broadcast.
    And now for our inspirational moment of reflection:

    Thus saith the mighty god MoPa: "Look upon my works, all ye mighty, and despair.Tremble and drool with desire at their strange beauty and power."
    Here endeth the lesson.

    Some of Ghia's finest work. The prospect of replacing even a tiny bit of that brightwork is cringe-worthy.

    I could list off all of the cars this reminds me of, but I won't. I could point out the individual features that I like, but again, I won't.

    I'll just say this: It's obviously a Chrysler, but it's somehow exotic as well. And I love it.

    This car is truly stunningly beautiful. I think the color is just perfect too, true to the era. Jaw-dropping indeed.

    Hey Chrysler: here's your next coupe. Build this body on new mechanicals. Or did you sell the blueprints during one of your firesales?

    @G8-167/Super Aguri: Actually, this shouldn't be called a Chrysler Ghia at all - the name is simply Ghia, and the car was the successor of the famed Dual-Ghia of the late '50s. Chrysler had little to do with this car other than providing the drivetrain. Ghia had a long association with Chrysler since the beginning of the 1950s, and they made quite a few Chrysler-based show cars and street specials - some with the direct sponsorship and blessing of Chrysler itself, some not.

    I don't believe I ever heard of this car before. Very beautiful. I am wondering, however, if Luigi and Vito were unsure of US regulations for tail lights and decided to throw a few more on just to make sure?

    That is simply gorgeous. I guess the only thing that would be more amazing is if you had stumbled across a Norseman.

    I never thought that I would see a car that looked good in yellow. Ever. I haven't even seen a Corvette I thought looked good in yellow. This one, though, looks great. Granted, it would look even better in satin silver, black metallic, or a dark metallic blue.

    Nice catch, Ben.

    On a side note, how is the Continental doing?

    @pauljones: The balloon whitewall & turbine wheels are another feature that don't look good on many other cars, but are phenomenal on this one.

    Sure, you probably can't drive it on a sunny day for fear of blindness. I'd be willing to move to Britain or the Pacific Northwest to own one of these.

    @Maymar is breaking in the commenting system...: You'd have to wear a welding helmet anywhere else.

    I have that same problem in my wife's damned Santa Fe- the convex chrome-plastic cover around the shifter blinds me constantly. Worse, it's at an angle that my sunglasses entirely miss.

    The "Dah, dah, dah" ad didn't make the cut? Really? THe "Kleine GTI" ad and the '71 Karmann Ghia ad were brilliant, however.

    I appreciate that VW's ad money is the lion's share of the site's revenue stream, but aren't any of you in management worried about the credibility of a car site that doesn't acknowledge, at least once in a while, that the vast majority of VW's are utter pieces of overpriced crap driven by Apple Store shoppers who care more about a secret paint color you can only get on the internet than they do about driving dynamics or reliability?

    @snapoversteer: No problem, just wanted to make it clear that we don't ever get any editorial pressure to say good or bad things about companies that do or don't advertise on our site.


    That said, if VW wants to send me a suitcase packed with cash, I'm all for it!
