I was holding out for 2.0 but this one is so beautiful I just couldn't pass it up. Don't know if I've seen a brown interior with the Phoenix Red but it kinda reminds me of my original first love, the long gone Signal Orange 1971 1.7 of college fame.

22,000 original miles, sold by the son of the original owner after his death. Tucson AZ car, currently resides near LA, should be picked up by Passport FedEx in the next week. Possible CW delight with original paint. Will keep it as original as possible (at least that's what I say now). I have only seen pictures until now, can hardly wait.

Next stop: Peoria, IL to Brad's place. He'll go over the mechanicals, tune it up. When he's done, I'll go down from MI to pick it up. Maybe pick up a set of Fuchs from Elkhart on the way back...along with a factory manual set.

The most important thing I want to say is THANK YOU to all you World member for your help. I've made lots of friends, all willing to answer e-mails and questions, even willing to look at cars. Jeff Gacek, Craig Camp914, the good doctor in Atlanta, Pat Garvey, Steve Gaglione, Jim Chambers, Warren Oliver, mrgreenjeans, Tom Bliznick, Joe Sharp, Nate Eckler, mikez, dheinz, Cap'n Krusty, others I'm just forgetting right now.

Paul
