TD for Sale
We all seem to come to this point
in our lives. I've had my cars for over 40 years and have
financially held on to them all these years with the thought they
would help me in retirement. Now I'm here and don't want to part
with any of them. A few years ago my father gave me his beloved
Karman Ghia to sell before he passed away at 90. Now I know how hard
it is.
It's a early 50 TD, #1720, and a ground up restoration that took me 40 years. Not perfect, but a really sweet car.

Have owned this car since 1969. Drove it until
1982 and started restoration in 1986. Entire tear down frame off
restoration. The usual sandblast of frame and rebuild of all
components. Worked in Dave Raymond's shop where he rebuilt the
engine, transmission, rear end, etc. He was my tutor and taught
me every step of the way of the proper and correct rebuild.
The car sat and moved as a rolling chassis for
the next 20 years never being started. I again got into the
project about 3 years ago and finished it, got it registered,
and have put about 750 miles on it so far. Everything is new or
rebuilt, from new crankshaft, half shafts, brakes, harness,
etc., list is too long.
I have been running it without bonnet side panels
or running boards as I have not painted them yet. Do not have a
front bumper on as I have bobbed front fenders on it and I like
the look.
Needs rear bumper bar and overriders, side
curtains (have the frames), little bits and pieces that are
something a new owner would enjoy doing, nothing major, that's
all done.
Asking $19,500.
