engine and drivetrain Another July 84 Roundel Car ad: $$ now with pic

[jgerock]

From the same issue with Jack Fahuna's 74tii:

1973 2002. Ultimate Autocrosser. Built by Ray Korman last year. Car had FTD at Colorado Springs. I gave Ray a blank check and listed below is what he did to the car: 2152cc engine that puts out 192HP at 6800 RPM and 166 lbs. torque at 5500 rpm. The suspension is fully adjustable - 4:22 rear end, 40% locker, New paint job last winter. Alpine stereo. This car was in Atlanta until 1983, absolutely perfect body. Over $ 30,000 invested, $ 22,000 to Ray Korman for the rebuild plus the purchase price of the car and paint job. Car wll be in Boston for Oktoberfest 84. Trade considered or best offer over $ 22,000. Send $10 for photo copy of all bills plus dyno chart. Chris Stauffer, 1512 Lakehurst Drive, Fort Wayne, IN 46815.

This ad has a (Black and white) picture showing turbo-type flares, front spoiler (no front bumper), unusual paint job and possibly Weds wheels (cannot tell). I will scan the picture and post it tomorrow.

and it is alive and well.

Does anyone have a copy of that Roundel from 1984 that they would be willing to sell to me? The highly-modified '73 Sahara 2002 is mine. - Larry in Indiana

Jim, wheels were from Compomotive, 7"x 15" and 6" x 15". These wheels are now on Bo Black's beautiful '73 2002tii.

[BillWilliams]

Those are my all time favorite wheels. Apparently Bo had to do "some" work on them for proper fitment.

I may go to Arkansas next spring just to steal those wheels

I have owned the '73 2002 since June of 2001.

These photos were taken a while ago, before the interior was installed. I have gone through this car and made numerous improvements over the course of the eight+ years of ownership. The mileage is around 90K. I will be selling this car before long, as I don't drive it very often, have too many projects, and limited space for my cars. Since I was replacing the core support and fenders, I chose to eliminate the Turbo bodywork (front air dam, fender flares, and rear spoiler). Besides the high performance engine and the 4.22 40% lockup diff., the car has a custom rear subframe, big brakes and swaybars, BMW 2002 Turbo exhaust, and many other improvements.

Larry,

Let me check my "extra" Roundel stash, I might have a copy for you.

[schwarz75]

Thanks! That would be great.

That's funny as hell...makes me feel smart! LOL

I was reading the ad thinking 'that sounds just like that car Larry Wilson has" and behold...IT IS! I'd still like to see that car in person before you sell it Larry. I've enjoyed following your progress through pictures and stories since you've owned it.

[schwarz75]

Hey Skip, come and drive it. The car is fun to drive & stops and handles real well. The extent of the work and the details of the builtd, as well as all the custom work to the head and block makes for interesting reading.

[jgerock]

Larry: Very different looking now than the car in the ad (sorry folks, I was way too busy at work to scan the ad). Will do tomorrow. Would love to drive and hear how it runs.

Bill W.: Both you and I need a set of those wheels (along with skinny fingers for cleaning those spokes).

I'd love to see the spec sheet to get some Ideas for a future engine build.

It's a Sweet ride!

[schwarz75]

I will send this soon. Need to look at the paperwork from Korman. - Larry
