Hi guys,
There is a yellow 1973 2.0 at auction over here. Car is ex usa and found the vin in the database. Vin nr (4732911673) was registered by a member here but I noticed that his last post dates february 2019. I've sent him an email but sofar no reply. Looked through his posts but not sure if he speaks about the same car. Car looks good in the pictures but I would like to receive comments from you specialists. Any idea what the "filter" is on the engine ? Car has chrome bumpers which I like. Car looks repainted (overspray on cables, shocktowers etc)... Noticed 3 holes in the frunk...is this fm an airco ? Did not post the colorcode tag as this is fairly unreadable. I can see the car in the flesh on 13/8 and auction closes 20/8. Thks your assistance (again) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Dax               Attached thumbnail(s)

It feels like those pictures has been heavily fixed and filtered. The closeup shots paint finish doesnt match the far away outside shots. Aftermarket exhaust, Bursch? Rear edge of the rear trunk looks a bit wierd. Heavy overspray as you mentioned. MPH speedo will need to be changed out.

Hard to say much from these pix as they do not show the critical areas but looks like a very nice car. That appears to be the stock injection. The small filter that you see is an after market oil breather catch can vented via that small filter. Best of luck bidding.

Unless it’s cheap, I would never buy a car off pictures alone. If it’s near me, I’m happy to take a look for you.

Thks for the replies so far.... car is located on the other side of Belgium so a bit too far for you mepstein (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Current bid is 8900 usd (8000 euro) but will go up closer to end date... I see the overspray a lot on ex usa cars... guess this is what you get from a 1000 usd paintjob (as I often read on forums ...) I will have the chance to see the car in person on 13/8 and will try to check the critical areas... on the pictures it looks like a fine car but as somebody mentioned...photoshop and filters.... note : I will be in California (LA, palm springs, flagstaff, lake powel, vegas, visalia, modesto, san francisco, highway 1 back to LA) fm 21/8 till 6/9 so if a nice car shows up on my route I could deviate to have a look by the way, the vin nr was registered in the database by Jesco Reient... if anybody knows him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) cheers Dax Belgium |

Looks like a great "project" car. You will get to fix the DAPO "modifications" as long as there's no rust not a bad price. But lets face it, if it's "modified " and "improved"at a level we can see, I'd put some money on some bonus bondo or fiberglass.
Maybe not, but just say'n you'll defiantly get some beer drinking time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

Very crappy respray. Not bothered to even remove the plastic pieces on the wire holding tabs. A value hit equal to what it takes to remove, repair and spray. You want to make sure of what's going on behind the rocker panels. Those pictures mean NOTHING. The metal patch piece with 3 holes in trunk is suspicious. What's wrong and been pointed out is prob 10% of the total. Look very closely before you leap on this one.
