One
of the most gratifying parts of reviving a barn find is washing off the
years of dust and grime to see what the car really looks like. Of
course when I’m buying a car online, I prefer to see it cleaned up
before I bid. I know you miss out on the joy of washing the car
yourself, but it saving you a lot of heartache in the long run. The
seller of this Karmann Ghia did a great job of photographing it all
dusty, but they have cleaned it up and boy did it clean up nicely. Of
course having it cleaned up revealed some issues that aren’t noticeable
in the dusty photos. It has some rust spots on the nose and some paint
damage, but overall it looks to be in solid condition. The paint even
looks shiny and could left alone. Amazingly, the nose is straight and
dent free! You might not get the joy of cleaning this one off, but if
you have been looking for a Ghia to enjoy you know what you are getting
with this one! Find it here on eBay
with a $7,900 BIN. Given the car’s location in Riceville, Tennessee I
would want to inspect it for hidden rust. So do you prefer your barn
finds to come with their dust intact or are you alright with them
already being cleaned?
