[ausev] Karman Ghia up for grabs

[mike at mikeconwell.com]

I saw at least one Karman Ghia at one of y'alls local events, so I
thought I'd let you know of one that a friend of mine is selling.  
However, I also would like her to think about getting it modified to an
EV so thought I'd throw out the gauntlet in case anyone on this list
would like to make a proposal to do a conversion.

While I haven't seen it, I have seen advice on this mailing list about
getting a nice/comfortable car to use for conversion projects.  So
thought this might be a candidate:  (although a new Lexus might be
better)

Here's the skinny:
 1966 VW Karman Ghia
 Manual Transmission
 Driveable: "runs fine" with 59,000 miles.
 No A/C

More:
"In the process of being fully restored. New: upholstery, (most) body
seals, interior carpet and pads, battery, exterior paint, seat belts,
interior panels.

"The doors don't shut quite right, but it's a matter of adjusting the
catch mechanism. I'm working on that.

"I will be putting it up for sale starting at $8,000.00..."

So, hope this is of some interest to y'all,

(wanna buy a new EV in 2008)
