I love the look of the bumper brackets . . . it's screaming for a WWII Flying Tiger themed paint job.   ;D
When I had it, I was gonna strip all the paint off and paint it up like an airplane with the whole P51 motif.
It would look Kewl with no paint and clear coated.

I think I found the trunk hold down for this, check and see if you have one.
It looks just like the one on the '69.
If you need one I'll bring it on Saturday.

There is another ghia that's almost unrecognizable mangled pile of metal

 :blueghia: :yellowghia:
The sad thing is I am looking at those piles and thinking that I could use those towel bars, and the rear tail lights, etc.
Mind now I do not need them, I just want them.
Funny.
