These seem to be the same car.  Sad if true.

And this showed me, that an Autopuzzles search for "ghia porsche" produces different results from "porsche ghia".  I wonder if this is broken, or as intended?  (I'm not putting quotes around the phrase while searching.)

I believe you're right; it must be the same car.
The main thing is that it has survived; it can always be returned to the so much nicer original.
