........Quote....."where the Plymouth Barracuda Formula S served as the foundation for this Italian-American hybrid. The Ghia 450 SS wasn’t simply a rebodied Plymouth; it was meticulously crafted using traditional Italian coachwork methods and fitted with robust American mechanicals. Constructed entirely by hand from steel, each car bore a hefty price tag exceeding $13,000 upon its 1967 debut, exclusively available through a Hollywood dealership. Positioned as an automobile for the privileged elite, the Ghia 450 SS Convertible garnered limited production, with only 52 units finding buyers. Today, just over half of these original cars are believed to survive, underscoring its rarity and desirability among collectors. The Ghia 450 SS stands as a testament to the culmination of the coachbuilding tradition, blending Italian craftsmanship with American power in a striking expression of automotive artistry from a bygone era."
Thank you. I don't recall ever hearing or reading about one before.
