1967 Ghia 450 SS for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to present this 1967 Ghia 450SS, VIN 4016, an exceptionally rare Italian-American grand touring convertible, one of roughly 52 hand-built examples combining Giorgetto Giugiaro's dramatic Ghia styling with Chrysler's 273 cubic inch Commando LA-series V8 and a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission that was factory rated at approximately 235 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque through a single Carter four-barrel carburetor. The Mopar drivetrain sits on Plymouth Barracuda Formula S underpinnings with torsion-bar independent front suspension, a live rear axle, and power-assisted front disc/rear drum brakes, giving the 450SS the dependable road manners and braking performance of its American donor clothed in hand-formed Italian steel. Power steering, Kelsey-Hayes rear hardware, and a dual exhaust system with Borla mufflers further support relaxed high-speed touring, while the car rolls on 14-inch Borrani wire wheels that complement its bespoke character.
A late-production car believed to retain its original shade of yellow, 4016 is documented as one of only two factory yellow 450SS examples and is associated with period show use in Europe, underscoring its special status within an already exclusive production run. All 450SS models were delivered new through a single Beverly Hills dealership at a price around $13,000, and only about forty cars are thought to survive, placing this chassis firmly in the top tier for collectors seeking a hand-built coachbuilt Italian convertible.
The odometer now shows approximately 75k miles. Service history notes a comprehensive rebuild of the original 273ci Commando V8 around 67k miles, followed by replacement of shocks, brakes, ball joints, and steering components in the 70k-mile range, together with a rebuild of the TorqueFlite transmission and front suspension slightly thereafter, leaving the major drivetrain and chassis systems freshly renewed relative to current mileage. More recent attention includes a full brake service with upgraded Wilwood booster, fresh suspension bushings and alignment, new under-hood insulation, and ongoing fluid and tune-up maintenance, contributing to the car's reputation as a wellsorted, road-ready example rather than a static showpiece.
Cosmetically, the car benefits from a high-quality repaint in its original yellow, a fully re-trimmed black interior with matching yellow piping, rebuilt factory instruments with distinctive copper Ghia bezels, new carpeting, and a tidy engine bay housing the Edelbrock-carbureted Commando V8 and neatly routed dual-exhaust plumbing. The manually operated black soft top, unique exterior push-button door handles, wood-rimmed Ferrero steering wheel, and factory-style Borrani wires present cleanly and function as intended, while a Kenwood AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo with added door and trunk speakers and an auxiliary under-dash temperature gauge subtly modernize usability without distracting from the period ambiance.
With its confirmed factory mechanical specification, continuous diligent maintenance, regular road use, rare original yellow livery, and status as one of a tiny handful of surviving 450SS convertibles worldwide, chassis 4016 offers an unusually complete story for such an exotic coachbuilt car, ready for concours display, Italian car gatherings, or relaxed coastal touring where its blend of Giugiaro design and well-sorted Mopar hardware will be fully appreciated.
