Brief History:
The Ghibli released in 1966 was the creation of Giorgetto Giugiaro who was at Ghia at this time.  The car as initially released came with the 4.7 V8 as seen in the Mexico and Quattroporte.  Utilising a tubular frame and a dry sump the car was quite low, which enhanced its appearance.  The Ghibli SS version which was powered by a 4.9 litre V8 was released in 1970 and was offered in both the coupe and spyder versions of the car
