@ seakings

I just remembered, there is a very very nice Mazda Coupe of the same era seen on Karachis streets. It a very bright orange with nice alloys and a mean look. Im not into Mazdas but someone told me it came with a Rotary engine and was called a RX3 (if memory serves me right).

Incidentally I saw this very car today in Saddar. Had no camera tho.

Asad, Seakings

The RX3 is one of my all time favourite Mazdas. It's a close cousin of the 808 sedan. My "chacha" had one, but it was in terrible condition. one day driving along in Pindi somewhere, he hit a bump, the seat mounts went through the floor and he was saved by the seat bottom hitting the floor. The car was so badly rusted. Needless to say, he repaired the thing, repainted it and sold it off.

Here's one example that should catch your fancy:

[mohsinikram]

@punk
nice K/Ghia.....I wonder who owns it

[PuNk]

@mohsinikram
No Idea About the owner. Was looking good and grabbed my attention so took pictures. Spotted in F-7 Markaz Flower Market

[romano]

Thats Tariq Amin's car. I restored it for him in 1998

[vdubber]

@romano

I must say the Ghia you;ve restored looks perfect. Please accept my complements on such a nice resto.

I was wondering if you know of any Ghias for sale?

Please do let me know if there are any.

[safeershah]

@qasimshah

I hope the challenger will not be a challenge for me :), I will try to meet the impala owner in few days and will let you know that status! syombite (mohsin correct me if I am wrong) is a pakwheeler and he can show you some nice cars in ISB, I think you should check chrysler 300 which is in ISB it will be an easy project for you

[sami_voodoo]

safeershah

Are you talking about the 300 that used to be found near the bridge next to Shaheen Chowk? I though it was later trashed or something.I used to see it quite often on my way to college (IMCB F-8/4).

Romano

One heck of a job you did on the Ghia! It looks really nice. What engine is the car running?

[mohsinikram]

@romano
K/Ghia looks very nice. Good job. What happened to Nasir's K/Ghia? Did J/Ibrahim sell his Cadillac Fleetwood?

@safeershah
symbiote is Humza who owns that magnificent '68 Mustang Fastback in Karachi. Humza is currently studying in Australia.

[safeershah]

@qasimshah

[qasimshah]

@romano...no offence bro..but the ghia is NOT a restoration..its a renovation...2 different things..

[romano]

Hello all
-the Chrysler last seen parked near Shaheen chowk has now been moved to a mechanic's place in Bhara Kahu on the main muree road
Its not a 300, but an early 60s sedan, albeit with a 360cid and pushbutton auto
Neurosurgeon and I were discussingit a few pages back.

-Safeer is right, the Karman Ghia was a renovation, we did not do a frame off, and the owner has made no cosmetic improvements since, as is evident, even the chore of replacing a broken rear taillight lens seems to be too much!
-what Mustang? doubt there are any left here, the red diesel powered one is not for sale (again discussed a few time here)

[OptimusSS]

@romano

nice work on the Ghia.
