I picked up this older Carmen Ghia yesterday with the matching z-best cab for $1000. I don’t care if I overpayed because, wow this thing is magical. One volume, and one tone and it is perfect. Here’s some pics of it. I do t see many z-best cabs in 4ohm, which mine is? It has Mesa tubes in it as well. So excited to be part of the group! Mike is a genius, and I love what he does.

The Carmen Ghia is the ultimate first pitch leadoff home run! Enjoy it!

Welcome to the Forum - a lot of great people and information here. $1,000 is not a bad price for a Ghia with a Z-Best Cab. Z-bests lowest prices are around $400 - so your Ghia was priced at $600. Won't find them for that! As Eric said definitely a "homer". Everyone should have one.

Congratulations, and Welcome to the forum. At that price, I'd say you've gone and hit a Grand Slam!
Or, the Doc hit a Grand Slam with the Ghia - and you were in the stands and caught the ball on the fly!

Excellent price, great amp--congrats. Pretty sure those Mesa tubes are Sovteks--at least they used to be. When you get around to re-tubing, try JJs. You'll get a softer feel with a little more sag.

A ghia head and a 2x12 Z-best cab for $1k??? That's a VERY good price.

Rock and Roll!
Was that your post on the Facebook Dr. Z group? That's a sweet pairing.

Great find at a greater price for a really great sound. I'd say you hit the trifecta.

I bet it sounds great. The 210 convertible weighs so much, can’t imagine the ZBest. Maybe now that I’m going to the gym I need one.
