1973 2002 Optimist Project SOLD

[2double02]

I recently bought three 2002s as a package to get one that I wanted for restoration. This 73 Riveria was a part of the package.  I imagine it could be made into a driver again since the frame rails and shock towers are good. Spare tire well and rockers aren't too bad either. Floor sheet metal will need to be replaced or seriously patched. Front seats ok. Engine turns freely and rockers look clean but I have made no attempts to start it. Trim removed and long gone. No front windshield. The 5" 2002 wheels come with the car. Others were installed for pickup only and have been removed. Have title. $900 pickup only in Burlington, NC.

I found the headlights, corner markers,  jack, lug wrench, original hub caps and a few other things. Aside from the floors, car is not bad structurally and might be worth some effort to turn into a driver or DE car. Valve train is very clean. I may try to fire it up if not sold on a couple weeks. Turns over by hand and key.  Paint under hood and in trunk is surprisingly nice. I think it was a victim of sitting close to the ground over a extended period and some do it yourself sand and prime.

I got the motor to crank today. It will run a few seconds until gas is depleted from pouring a little into carb. Aside from the floors the car is not structurally bad at all.
