1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

I saw my first Karmann Ghia in 1981 while stationed in Naval Air Station Lemoore and wanted one since. I finally found a green 1971 convertible parked in a garage in 2015 and purchased it as my retirement gift. I waited four months for my turn to get it into the shop I wanted to do the work (body work, paint, interior, engine/transmission overhaul, gaps adjustment all over and work on the roof mechanics). Eight months later I was finally able to take the car home. Once home I discovered the shop had torn, and tried to hide, a small rip in the headliner, broke the rear seat hinge point and did not fix any of the gaps I asked for. Essentially it took about a year to get a very nice black paint job, new interior and engine/transmission overhaul. I've since been diagnosed with an illness that will eventually keep me from getting in and driving my car. I've had my dream car and marked it off my list, hopefully there is someone out there who has a Ghia Convertible on their list.
I am willing to take any and all reasonable offers and will work with potential buyers with transfer of funds and pick up/delivery.
