Wolfgang turns the big Four Oh today...assembled 4 Feb 1969;

[Mike Self]

delivered to me from Bavarian Motors on Northern Blvd in Queens NY on 4 May 1969 with a sunroof and Michelin XAS tires for $3452. Now has 219k miles, a nice fresh Nevada paint job and his original interior.

Unfortunately he'll spend the day alone in the garage, waiting for the snow to melt and the salt to wash away...more snow last night...spring seems a loooooong way off...

cheers from OhiO

Careful Mike....my car made it to it's 40th birthday and was nearly murdered by a Chrysler.

So a warm happy birthday to Wolfgang, and watch your back!

Congrats Mike!!

Must be a great feeling to be the original owner.

Congrats to you and Wolfgang! 40 years of ownership = very small club of devoted '02'er's Watch out for Chryslers & other nimrods on the road!

Here's to many more happy years together.

And here's Wolfgang peeking out from behind the Orange Car at the July '05 GTG in Dayton--it's the only photo I have of him. I think Jim D. should get the photo credit...

Dave, Alec (my 17 y.o.) took the pix that day. I was drinking beer and forgetting to take any photos. It was fun. Hope you can make it to Salt Fork State Park for the May 9th gtg. I will post an update on room rates and all re. that event soon!
