Best source for Karmann Ghia floorpans?

[Wilfred Johnson]

I'm ready to buy some floor pans for my 66 Ghia. I also need the seat
rails. I've found 4 sources for them:

1. Rocky Mountain Motorworks
$250 each half

2. KGP&R

701-059 ALL RP Floor Pan, Half Section, Left (Danish) $195.00
701-060 ALL RP Floor Pan, Half Section, Right (Danish) $195.00
701-472 ALL RP Floor Pan, 36"l x 25"w, Rear, Right $73.50
701-479 ALL RP Seat Track, Inner Left (DRIVER SIDE) $59.95
701-480 ALL RP Seat Track, Inner Right (PASSENGER SIDE) $59.95
701-481 56 68 RP Seat Track, Outer Left (DRIVER SIDE) $59.95
701-481 69 74 RP Seat Track, Outer Left (DRIVER SIDE) $59.95
701-482 56 68 RP Seat Track, Outer Right (PASSENGER SIDE) $59.95
701-482 69 74 RP Seat Track, Outer Right (PASSENGER SIDE) $59.95

3. California Import Parts

Does anyone know the best source of floor pans for my car? I'd like
the most original, thickest metal I can get. Also, I'd like to find
some with the seat rails already installed.

thanks,
Wilfred

Since you need seat tracks, KGP&R may be your best bet. I believe they
are the only place to get new seat tracks (they are specially made for
KGP&R). New Ghia pans are not available with seat tracks attached, so
you will have to have them welded on. The people at KGP&R are pretty
knowledgable about Ghias and are generally good people to deal with,
so call them up and ask them questions about this matter. Personally,
I would avoid Rocky Mtn Motorworks, especially now that they have been
acquired by the Real Source. They tend to be overpriced and not very
knowledgable.

If you wanted to go the used route, give revolks.com a try. A lot of
times they'll have floor pans from junk cars that are ok, and they may
have the seat tracks attached. However, this may be more expensive and
the pans wouldn't be perfect and new.

Hope this helps.

...........Hey Dane. Is there any news on the '66 ghia that was stolen from
you a few months ago?

[Dane Tyler]

Nope, no news to report of. Its still missing. There's no telling where its at now.

I talked to KGP&R. They said that the floorpans are Danish. But
California Import Parts say that theirs are Danish also and they are
$75 cheaper for each half. Does anyone know if they are the same? I'd
like to save $150 if they are the same thing.

Does anyone have any reference photographs of a 1966 K. Ghia? Mine was
highly customized and I need to figure out how certain parts of the
car are supposed to look (like the dash board).
