1969 Karmann Ghia | Fergie's Ghia

If you listen to the song “Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground while looking at this car, you’ll understand. Mr. Ferguson wanted us to build him a 1969 Karmann Ghia that registered a 4.5 (out of 5) on the AKK project scale. This dressed to the nines full-rotisserie build is one of the most extensive restorations the shop has done to date, and it is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. In fact, everyone who comes to the shop for a tour finds themselves stopped in their tracks to gawk a little at this build.

Here’s what we’re doing:

• Front and Rear Replaced with 1967 Bits and Pieces
• Red 9 Design Front Suspension
• Oversized Rear Sway Bar
• Kafer Cup Brace
• Mid-Trans Mount
• HD Front and Rear Urethane Mounts
• Massive T-IV 2775 Upright Motor (Hand-Built by Jake Raby)
• Twin IDF40’s for the Carbs (with Roller Linkage)
• Stage 4 Rock Crusher Transmission
• 15” Fuchs
• 4 Wheel Disk Brakes
• Kustom Paint: “I Want Juice” Juicy Ginger
