3-2002's for sale 1971, 1973 auto, 1968 RSD right-side-drive

[TurboTom]

- Hi, I'm selling my three 2002's, I just put them up on CL in Fort Collins Colorado.

I need to sell all three, and I'd like to sell them all to a collector/restorer, but I'll take what I can get.

They all need a lot of work. I bought all three of them about 15 years ago, and they all ran when I parked them 10 years ago.

1971 - very rough, engine was replaced with one out of a 76 that had 85k on it, plus a weber down draft carb.

1973 - automatic, it's also rough but it spent most of its life in CA and AZ so it's a good candidate for restoration. Still has its factory smog parts installed

1968 - I checked the vin to be sure it's a factory 68 RSD, and it is. I've heard that any 68 is rare, and so are RSDs, so I imagine a 68 RSD is quite rare? It's going to need a lot of work, but it should pay off in the end, as it should be more collectible than most 02's.

Thanks, Tom

FYI - the '68 RHD license plate WCX designates the car was originally registered in Huddersfield, UK. Looks like it has brought some British racing rust with it!

Hi, thanks for your interest. Luckily I have a few local parties that have already shown interest in the 68. I really don't want to part this out if possible, I'd like to find someone who wants to restore it to stock if possible. I already turned someone down who had a bunch of spare tii parts that they wanted to use to transform this rare piece. I would normally applaud their ambition, but I think it would be a lot harder than they expected, and not appropriate for this heap. They would be better off starting with an abused tii or a wanting 02.

Hi Les, thanks for the license info.

And it's funny that you correctly call it a RHD, I was just discussing it over several losing hands of poker tonight that I messed up the advert by calling it a RSD and not the correct RHD. The person I bought it from listed it as a RSD and I guess it just stuck in my head.

I'm sure it has it's share of USA rust also, and maybe a bit of the salty atlantic to boot.

Thanks, If you are willing to get rid of any of your early bumpers please let me know.. Thanks.. Good luck. I hope the 68 is saved! I have a Euro spec 69 that I saved from the Junk yard. it was 2 days from being crushed!

Hi Tom,

Did you get my email to your CL ad last night regarding the '68? I'm interested in buying it as a resto project, keeping it stock. I have quite a few correct extra parts and access to more if needed.

Thanks,

vince
