2018年11月5日 · Ivan Ruiz, a collector of Italian cars, showed MacDougald his 1967 Ghia 450/SS—a pretty coachbuilt Italian convertible based on Plymouth Barracuda running gear. MacDougald had never heard of the Ghia. But he was captivated by its design, which resembled the Maserati Ghibli Spyder conversion that he traded to Ruiz for it.

This 1967 Ghia 450SS is one of just 52 examples hand built between 1966-1967 that combined sleek Giugiaro Italian design with a robust Chrysler drivetrain. All were delivered new in the United States through a single dealer in Beverly Hills, and around forty …

2017年1月17日 · This rare Ghia is now offered on dealer consignment with service records for the recent work, factory books, and a clean California title. Originally designed as a fastback and ultimately produced with a custom steel convertible body by Ghia, the 450SS had a lofty sticker price around $12,000 when new.

The hand-built Ghia 450SS was the combination of avant-garde European styling by the Ghia design house and the performance pedigree of American Crysler mechanical components. It went beyond being a re-bodied Plymouth Barracuda Formula S, with its own chassis configuration, and a well-constructed steel body acting as a rigid semi-monocoque.

2021年6月8日 · Just 57 Ghia roadsters were built before the plug was pulled, and this 1967 model on BringaTrailer.com is a highly-optioned version in nicely restored condition. Before there was ever a Ghia 450/SS, there was the Ghia G230S, which was built as a show car using 2.3-liter Fiat 2300-S mechanicals.

One would’ve thought this car would be all the rage in Hollywood, as the Dual Ghia was a few years earlier…another built-by-Ghia car with American chassis and Chrysler engine. But times had changed, by the time the Ghia 450/SS arrived, there were lots more choices from America, England, Germany and Italy.

The Ghia 450 SS is the combination of Giorgetto Giugiaros Italian styling and design with an American drivetrain. Ghia had a close relationship with Chrysler having already produced additional projects for them so the Plymouth Barracuda Formula S was chosen as the structure and mechanics of the Ghia.

This Ghia 450 SS convertible is finished elegantly in light charcoal metallic. Kept in excellent condition throughout, the paint finish is smooth, glossy and all the brightwork that accents the tasteful Ghia coachwork sparkles. The interior is exceptional, with round Ghia gauges tastefully arrayed before the driver.
