Yesterday I looked at a 71 Karmann Ghia for sale. First owner. org. 46tmls first paint no rust no accidents org. A/C perfect chrome The second most perfect one I ever saw (not counting the NOS ones I have seen stashed away). The price was not cheap but definitely ok. You can not restore a car to that condition. Especially the Ghia is difficult. So what has that got to do with the type III? When I was looking at the Ghia I thought to myself: "I wish it were a Squareback". I'd buy it. For the same money. This is stupid of course. Type III's are worth not nearly as much as Ghias. But when I restore my 69 Squareback (very good CA car) I will put nearly as much money into it (I am a perfectionist). So I am hunting for that perfect Squareback that may need new rubbers or mechanical work, but no real restauration. I am dreaming of that 68-69 Square with auto tranny. Does anybody have a lead? Got one stashed away? Your dealer still has an unsold one in the showroom? Ghias just don't do it for me. Too avantgarde. I'm square, so give me one. Martin
