I can relate because I purchased a much older Karmin Ghia that had rusted out, and had been abandoned in tall grass. The owner, an older gentlemen, sold it to me for a fee dollars so I’d get it out of his yard.

Mine was the hardtop but I removed body anyway to build an open rail dune buggy (it was very simple build due to extremely low budget while in college). Without a body, I could remove engine in a few minutes — literally.
