by Mike –
I suspect that many of you have never seen a Ghia 450SS in person because they are so rare.
What does it mean for me to say that this is the best one that I have seen when I have only seen three in person?
The three that I have seen in person represent 10% of the Ghia 450SSs in existance. I have also seen photos of a few more and this is still the best one.
I love the copper color with white interior.
Ghia 450SS Background
The Hollywood producer, Burt Sugarman, saw a Ghia-bodied Fiat on the cover of Road & Track magazine in 1965. Sugarman loved the looks and wanted one for himself. He approached Ghia and persuaded the company to build a similar car. So, the Ghia 450SS was born.
Today the Ghia 450SS is an extremely rare car that combines the elegant styling of Giorgetto Giugiaro with Chrysler power.
Only fifty-two were made in 1966 and 1967 and all were sold by a dealer in Beverly Hills, California, which may explain why many of these cars were owned by Hollywood locals.
I wrote about this Ghia 450SS For Sale. The Ghia 450SS is also in my book European Style with American Muscle.
This beauty was at the Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance recently.
