Finally… one step closer to cleaning my mess and cracking the body off the chassis. Extra thanks again to Lord Franklin Forgington.

I’m sharing a couple pictures of the Blue Mamba V10 powered Ghia because I really dig this ride. … love the taillights and rounded fins.

The luminaries have arrived! Extra special thanks to Frank for hookin’ a brother up. I hope one day I can repay his superb generosity.

Now to find the time to install them…

More Pics of the Coolest Ghia

Reply

Back in January 2011, I made a post calling this car the coolest Ghia I’ve ever seen. I came across a few more pictures of it and my opinion hasn’t changed.

This is not the same Ghia, but I dig it as well.

These trophies are from my first build. I think I’ll hang all my Camaro Gathering awards under the shelf. Perhaps I’ll need another shelf when the Ghia starts showing.
