That brings back some memories. In '71 my dad's Ghia was rusting and he was looking for a new car. He almost bought a 914, but decided on the VW instead for the passenger space. By the late 70s, my brother and I shared it in High School, then off to college. In the early 90s my step dad did a complete restoration and took it to shows and parades. Finally sold out of the family in 2011 to a collector.
