1968 2002ti

[02Les]

I'm with Krister, the inner fenders, with sorta kinda crumple zones, would indicate a '70 or '71.

The VIN would tell all.

Just wanted to let you know I'm in the process of restoring a 1968 1600ti, also here in Dallas.  Been restoring 02's for 40 years, and would be glad to assist if I can.  Good luck, as they are very rare.

Later,

Glenn,

 

Photos help the ti restoration cause. VIN’s and manufacturing dates help us understand the history and the changes over time. All such contributions are welcome here!

 

Thanks and regards,

Thanks, Glenn,

 

VIN 1581064 is certainly an early example, built before December 1967, and perhaps as early as October 1967.
 

Regards,

Hi Steve,

I have saved this car for restoration for some 30 years.  Collected many parts over the years, but will have many challenges.

I also have a 72 tii that I bought from the orginial owner that is much further along in the restoration process.

At "73"  my work has slowed, but the passion still burns.

Later,

Glenn
