Russ, Dave has a ‘58 and lives in Dayton. If you don’t find a specific person who needs it and are going to post it for sale l’d be interested in purchasing just based on it being from a southern Ohio dealer.

While cleaning my mom's house my wife stumbled across the invoice/BOS for the Neptune Blue '67 Ghia my dad bought new. I have no idea where the car ended although it was last seen around 1972 heading south to NC? That'd be a car I'd love to find. Great memories.
How much did it cost in 67 ? $1900 ?
That’s awesome Dave. Looks like my Turkis ‘62 except much more handsome.
Lol. 16 years-old with my goofy haircut and clothes. (Mom made that shirt; a phase she went through.) No idea where it went and can’t say I care even though it was car zero.
What I WOULD love to find is the ‘70 Bus I built when I was 18. 2.2 911 motor, 1200 watts of Fosgate, and 18 speakers (four 10’s).
Epic trip down to Mexico one weekend. (Forgive me if the story is a repeat.) We missed crossing the border by a few minutes (closed at midnight) so what do stupid teen boys do? What else... see how fast I can drive with 2 of my mates lying on the roof rack hanging on for dear life! 80+ mph; it still gives me goose bumps. Oh the stupidity...
That bus sounds like it's worth searching for, Frank... 911 power was not a common thing back then.
Just got this in my morning Barn Finds:

Yes, the collection is in Puerto Rico but shipping isn't complicated because of that. There are a lot of interesting cars in this collection, I'm seriously tempted by the Zwitters.
I bought this '63 Ghia today. Been hibernating in a Montana garage since moving from California in the '90s. One family. Can't wait to get it cleaned up.

Nice find !
Great color and looks fairly original.
fantastic! i was placed in the back seat with my sister and we drove through Europe in 1972 in one of these...camping...was tight.
Excellent!
Can’t wait to see it cleaned up
