Clean and straight. Complete except top missing (bows are there). Been repainted a puke color. In a barn for years.

Whats a high and low value it might be worth?

Thanks,

Shawn T

Impossible to answer, you don't show us or tell us where in the world (litterally) you are. There's no telling how much rust is on the car (the largest factor by far in determining value) What is your definition of "complete", if it's been repainted a non-stock color then what else has been/might have been done to it.

Depending on how complete, how rough, how much of a project it would be and (very important) where you are I'd guess a low end may be $500 and a high....god only knows, it's worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. (I've seen running, OK (not great) condition 'verts selling on the E. coast for $4k-$5k)

Parts alone are worth atleast $1k. If you look on Ebay you'll see the convertible ghias in good shape selling easily over $5k. If in excellent shape and I don't meen a trailer queen, expect over $10k on the earlier models. Looks like a great find Shawn keep us posted. Empified...................

If it is a 59 (low light) ghia. It is worth considerably more than a later ghia. There were two production years of the early body style, and they only made about 8000 total in 58 and 59. If all of the parts are there, and the car does not have rocker rust or any major damage its worth 3k easy.If you don't buy it let the rest of us know.
