    1972 Karmann Ghia Coupe

    So some of your guys remember me inquiring about classic VW's, more specifically Super Beetles. Well I came across this Ghia and just curious as to reliability and source-ability of parts. If I deem this a daily, would I need to concern myself with anything outside of routine maintenance? It...
