Talking CHECK OUT THIS BAD BOY - '67 Karmann Ghia with a Viper V-10 engine!

I MIGHT even consider trading in ONE of my Crossfire SRT6s for this beast! . . . . . . . . NOT . . . . (Well maybe the parts car) . . .




Check out the video here:

I remember looking at a Ghia in Pa a long time ago that someone had stuffed a V8 in & had moved everything so far rearward in the cabin it was just about impossible to get in . I might have bought it except for that & the workmanship .
This one looks good & would be interesting to see how the interior was handled as well as everything else .
One of the very first Porsche prototypes had a very narrow almost aircraft type upper cabin & to barely accommodate a passenger they shifted that seat slightly rearward & offset of the driver .
For its compact size , I think the cabin in the CF coupe is very comfortably designed for average size people .

If you watch the video, the fit of the engine and the interior do not look too bad. I hope they beefed up the frame or put the body on another frame..

Thanks for pointing out the video -- duh -- guess googling the car made me overlook it . The interior appears very comparable to a CF for creature comfort .
The one I looked at obviously had little or no effort towards the necessity for seating redesign .
It looked like one of those operations that made it out of the O R but eventually the patient died :0/

Yeah, I thought I heard him say the chassis was built from scratch.
