Ceylon 72 tii is Home - "Gold Rush" or Gold bust!

[Hutton]

Okay - I need to be shot! ...Another tii 2761758

The car was found stored next to scrap metal ...Yes, jokes please

$500.00 bucks and she's came home. Found Bilstein shock, nice steering wheel, ceylon, low vin tii....Who would pass up this car?

The glove box was like Christmas ! ..Service record going back to the deliver date. Covering 1972 thru 1979..Very cool checkout the pix.

Shock towers and FR in great condition.

Okay, one negative ... the dreaded snorkel ....nose was probable replaced

Man, that is a score!! Very close VIN to your Verona too. Congrats

[NickVyse]

you need to be awarded not shot. Great find - love the fact there are still these lucky cars out there in the ether. She could be a beauty, and such a rare colour.

That car still has the original clamps on the plastic runners.

Save and refurbish those!

Cool, you can give paul a run for his money on the engine bay anyway, exterior looks pretty clean from the pics. Nice "patina" on the steering wheel as well. I would say that is a major score.

another of those rare snorkle cars

nice

[Hutton]

Esty,

Agree with your statement ...my 2761710 verona car has NO snorkel. I've always been high and mighty about why, when and where. Now that I have GOLDY I can see why others rationalize why it's there. I do have all the proof that it is a tii....service records etc...MAN! ..That snorkel really sucks!..I will lover her just the same as my verona car.

Cool wheels too!!

I am selling 2761709 to another FAQ'r in Missouri. Just got his check in the mail to hold the car. Maybe you guys could get the cars back together.

Hi,

I'm Friedrich, a Sahara 72 2002 tii and my Mom and Dad rescued me from Arizona and brought me to Dayton, OH just two weeks ago. I just wanted to thank you for saving one of my close relatives. My vin #2761769 makes me very close to your Ceylon. And as far as I'm concerned you shouldn't have your head examined! Maybe you could get a Facebook page like me and we can be friends and follow each others adventures. You can find me, Friedrich Hagen Finke on Facebook.

Tell Friedrich that Dieter welcomes him to Ohio & to the cult of Sahara '02's!
