That is not how it works when you are in the business of reselling used items. You buy what you yourself want to have, but never buy anything you can't make money on. So when you get tired of it, as you inevitably will, you can sell it, or put it up for sale and use it while it sells. The idea of buying something just have it indefinitely without a care for it's actual value is not good business, and is why so many people are broke.

@TalkingHands308

But even if he wanted it for himself, I'm pretty sure he would still want to restore it, and it just doesn't make sense to pay someone for something that basically requires the entire value of the finished product to restore it. At that rate, he should just go look for an already restored one and buy it at that price...

Its a motor. And when a KZread expert says "a engine" i question his general knowledge, what do you even know of these 2 words? A fire engine is a moving contraption and the motor supplies the power it needs to move.

In 1970 I bought a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible in West Warwick RI. It was Pastel blue and I paid 2600 dollars. I ordered it special so it took 4 weeks to come in. Was a fun car to drive but had very little power and poor brakes. I got married in March of 73 and my first son was born in January of 74 so I had to sell it. There fun to drive but my golf clubs took up the back seat and the front of the car had very little storage.

Happens all the time. Restoring cars is often a losing proposition. They're not worth it.

I’ve got a 62 Ghia, love the thing

Whenever someone says a price, Ricks always huffs.

Yes it will, this car is rare and most of the part will have to come from overseas. Mostly from Germany and the parts ain't cheap so be quiet

A high quality paint job half that

That grinding noise is the throw out bearing einstein and the clicking is the trans mounts.

I know where there is a Karmann Ghia sitting in a front yard in Ensenada, MX waiting for restoration. Body looks straight, complete and stock...my first car was a '64 Ghia, but all hacked up Baja Bug style and half-arsed at that. Seen several stock-looking Ghias driving around too.

This is definitely one of those segments where they know they're not going to buy it ahead of time and they only went to put it on the show and to give the seller advertising.

Volkswagens are fun and easy to build engine's for. We used the bigger engine's for our rail buggies.

Nice video 👍

this guy knows everything you need to know about a volkswagon the classic line

I love my 69’ Ghia Cabrio :)

I don’t know what he was talking about it needed engine mounts these VWs didnt have motor mounts the engine just bolts to the Tran axel with 4 bolts. No mounts Worked in a VW shop and probably owned 20 over the years and pulled out a lot of engines I think the estimate to restore it was on the moon high

That's probably the guy's shop price, doing it yourself would be CHEAP. The shifter rattling is common on older VW's as well, though I'm sure you're aware of that. It's just a symptom of the shifter coupling and/or bushing being bad. That expert seems to know everything and also nothing at the same time.

Also thought the same on the motor mounts. I've only worked on a couple Ghias,but many bugs. Don't recall any motor mounts

@@lunarpking Yes the engine mount to the transmision, but the transmission has a rubber mount, I beleive he was refering to that.

Loved the commercial for it, saw it on Jonny Carson's show, had the car running at high speed across a desert. Voice guy mentioned the cars name, said the least expensive sports car in America, the car comes up the wall of paper, bounced back, voice guy says, "It's just not the most powerful'.

Those rear wheels are something else 🤣

Rebecca would look good in this car. Call her next time. 😃

Especially with the reclining seats.

I wouldn't take any car advice from a guy who says he freaked out and kept it under 50 once he found out there was no emergency break.

That expert was iffy at best lol

The expert is straight up out of his mind

Don't know what to do without an emergency brake? then don't buy a late model car as they no longer have one.

It is a safety feature. Show me a car without one. My sister has a 2019 and it has one.

My first car was a Baby Blue 69' Karmann Ghia. I loved that car. My Dad bought it for me for $1500 back in 80' but I wasn't allowed to drive it till I could pay for the insurance myself. I spent most of the Summer washing and waxing that car until I saved up the $700 for the insurance. It was a fun little car, and a huge babe magnet when cruising the Jersey Shore. :)

the motor mounts are broken! Grat vw expert i bet it was low on coolant too! Fyi there is no factory motor mount, the engine just hangs off the transaxle there is a transaxle mount and cost like 25$ and can be replaced in 30mins!

There's no such things like emergency brakes... the brake you're referred as "emergency brake " is called parking brake.

I like those old karmann ghias too. But those rims! Barf. The seats, the everything. Poor ghia

The guy sellings looks like Trevor Philips and Michael De Santa combined.

I wonder why he doesnt just bring the expert with him in the first place😂

Way cool car. Rick's friend definitely knew what he was talking about

How would you like your steak prepared? Rick - Look, I really have no idea about these things. Let me call a guy I know who knows about this stuff.
