Vintage VW lowlight Karmann Ghia sets record in Ventura California
Ventura California ( MyFreePR ) - July 7, 2008 - Possibly the most original 50’s
“lowlight” Karmann Ghia in the world, this vintage VW just sold for a record
$45,000 USD.
This Karmann Ghia was the pride and joy of Karmann Ghia Parts and Restoration founder
Scott Dempster, who had owned this 1959 Dolphin Blue Ghia for 17 years.
A
previous offer of $40,000 based on only photos was bested by the first buyer to
see the Ghia in person. Shigeo Hayashi from “Bug Works” in Toyama, Japan, was
the buyer who paid the asking price before he even heard it run. He was
purchasing the car for an undisclosed buyer in Japan. About the deal, Mr.
Hayashi commented, “This was a very good price for this Ghia”

Dempster (who’s current company Airhead Parts manufactures and distributes
restoration parts for the VW Bug, Bus, Ghia and Vanagon) has another dozen Ghias
he is putting up for sale this summer. “The others are not finished show cars”,
says Dempster, “They are VW restoration projects that were too good to part out.
I have Coupes and Convertibles of all years, but more interesting is my
extensive collections of vintage VW restoration parts and
accessories I have been collecting since the 80’s. I will offer my collection
through the Airhead Parts website’s classified section www.airheadparts.com/ads/index.php
and later on EBay. I have over 1000 original VW restoration parts, mostly Ghia
and some VW Bug parts as well. It will take a year to sell it all!” Asked why he
is selling now, Dempster explained, “Because I only do a restoration every three
or four years now, I don’t need all these Ghias and associated parts. So this is
for all the active enthusiasts who are currently searching for restorable cars
and/or restoration parts and accessories for their air-cooled
projects”.
Dempster is particularly pleased by the positive effects on
his vintage VW parts business - AIrhead Parts, due to rising prices throughtout
the Vintage VW market. “It is not uncommon now to see a resotred VW bus going
for over $30,000 and the more common 70s VW bug, which only a year or two ago
went for $800 or $2,000, have doubled in price. But they are still the most
economical car on the market. Besides getting 26- 34 MPG. A full set of brakes
for an old VW Beetle is about $50! Same is true for most vw beetle parts because
they manufactured over 22 milliion in 4 or 5 countries for over 45 years! So
parts are easily supplied and still inexpensive.”
About the Volkswagen
Karmann Ghia: Hand assembled (coach built) by Karmann of Osnabrueck Germany and
designed by Ghia of Turin, Italy, the VW Karmann Ghia was priced around $2500
when it was introduced in 1955, about the same as Austin Healys or Alfa Romeos
of the same vintage. But unlike those other cars, Karmann Ghia Coupes in
excellent condition rarely sell for more than $15,000.00 USD, though a 58
Karmann Ghia Convertible in Southern California sold for a whooping $55,000
earlier in 2008!
