Nice score, and with original alloys!

Let's try to get the SA guys together for a brew when you get it going......

[malagalaga]

Nice find! Always good to see another TX 02er.

[LarryS]

Thanks for the warm welcome and advise everybody. I'm sure I'll be hounding you guys as I am definitely not a mechanic, just a 02 lover.

Did you take it to Bert's for the PPI? I was there earlier yesterday.

Email me the VIN and I'll add you (& the car) to my list.lescartwright at juno.com

I did take it to Bert's for the PPI around noon. His shop is about a 1/2 mile from my house. I send you an email with the vin.

For sure. If we get all the SA guys together, we might be able to fill a booth...lol.

something about it resonated as an honestly described car

Yeah, probably when he said it had close to 300,000 miles on it..lol

[JsnPpp]

Great car! It sounds like it went to the right buyer too!

Let me know when you have a meeting and I may be able to hook up as well.

The car found you.

And nicely, the PO's will get to see it around.

Now, go lock yourself in a room for a few days.

It sounds like you've used up your quota of luck/Karma/divine intervention for at least a good while. Steer clear of black cats and ladders and mirrors.

Really happy it went to a local guy, I saw the add a little late and tried to make things work on my end to pick it up but seeing as how I already have two.....

Hope to see you driving around town one day!

Looks like even a better deal than mine was last month, and I didn't think that was possible!

[Anschauer]

If you need the plastic runners I have a set from a '72 but I have no idea what the price should be.

I think they are all alike so tell me which ones.

I am not on the board a whole lot of late but you can email me at

I do need the plastic runners but I just ordered them from http://www.racetep.com/tiitube.html

MobileTradition wants $480 for a set.

Congrats and great find! Keep it old School

You do realize these are not factory runners?

[LarryS]

Yes, I know their not factory, made from steel instead of plastic. But I needed some asap and these were $180 less than mobil tradition and I ordered them before I saw Anschauer's post. If I come across some from the factory in the future, I'll pick them up but for now, I wanna get it on the road.

to like?

Have fun with it, but take others advice and replace all the plastic fuel lines--that K-fish pump puts out a lotta PSI and you don't want an old line splitting and spraying fuel all over the hot engine.

Any ideas on where to buy the belts, hoses, fuel/oil lines, etc, etc?
