Recent rebuild. Full documentation and pics available of restoration.
Purchased in Atlanta last Jan'15, here it seems this car has been since 1974 given records and includes original '74 Georgia plates.
This car has been rebuilt to original factory specs and includes air-conditioning, pdated sound system that connects to device by standard plug or USB. Fog lamps added after my purchase which can easily be removed if new owner wishes original look, ut be aware the additional lighting does serve a purpose at night. Also includes additional LED third brake light for safety, hich also can be removed in seconds.
I have enjoyed driving this car around my area in New Jersey and even nearby states- NY/PA/CT. This is one reliable and fairly comfortable classic car.
PAINT/EXTERIOR: Restoration done 5 years ago. Not concours perfect today but definitely a head turner. Impact bumpers shortened for better visual appeal (google the original early 70's standard and you'll see what a different this makes on the look without compromising safety as others remove completely). Stock rims with new tires (1k miles)
INTERIOR: Like new. New headlines, eats look in perfect condition with no fading, haffing marks. New coco mats in black reminiscent of the era.
ENGINE: Transplanted from a 1976 donor. This was the last year of the 2002, o it is thought this is the best and most reliable of the series. Weber carburetors and manual choke require some knowledge of how to operate during cold starts, ut easy to get used to, nd I believe is worth the small sacrifice as this is a reliable set-up and cheap to repair/replace unlike the Kugelfisher Injection system (tii models) which if not perfect will cause headaches and is expensive to repair. Engine is tight with no smoking on startup or during highway driving (including upon downshifts or sudden release of gas pedal). No overheating experience as I've driven this car up to 3 hrs straight.
TRANSMISSION: 5-speed transplant from early model 3 series. If you research this car, ou will learn this is the ideal upgrade as it transforms the car for drivability to cope with today's highway speeds. Has a reputation for being 'bullet-proof' as well, imilar to the M10 engine on this car.
DRIVE EXPERIENCE: Old school charm. No power steering but easy to cope given car's lightness. Brakes are ample for this vehicle and so I confidently drive at over 80mph cruising in highways and maintain same distance with car in front as any other car.
Why am I selling ?? I have 3 other classic cars and so there is just not enough room for me to maintain and cherish all. I believe in driving my cars regularly even in winters when there are no traces of salt on the road. It's the only way to keep any classic in good shape as far as I'm concerned and also best way to just enjoy them instead of just staring at them in one's garage.
