The Ghia 450 SS was a small series two-door roadster built by Carrozzeria Ghia in Turin and presented at the 1966 Turin show. It came about after the American film and television producer Burt Sugarman saw the earlier Ghia G230 S on the cover of Road and Track and persuaded Ghia to build a similar car. It was powered by Chrysler's recently introduced 273 cubic inch (4.5 litre) V8 producing 235 hp, and so many of its parts came from the Plymouth Barracuda that early cars shipped with a Barracuda manual. It was a 2+2 on a ladder frame with hand beaten steel panels and a standard hardtop. About 57 were built until late 1967, though some sources give as few as 52.
