bye for now

[autowerks]

I was sad to see the car drive off for good but it is in good hands!
Just want to thank each one of you for the help, this forum is the best there is!
Thanks again, until the next E9! Joe

I'm on my fifth coupe. You'll probably be back. Yeah I know, I should've kept all of them...

I am happy to say that I am the lucky guy who ended up with Joe’s 71 2800CSa . He has done a great job going over everything in the car with plenty of love and care . I drove it last night for 240 miles from Joe’s place in Texas to my house in Edmond. And another 50 miles today! My first E9 with triple Weber . I am dying to play with synchronizing the triples carbs and getting used to the car ...
I told Joe he is welcome to show up and take it for spin anytime he is in the area. Beside me he has other friend he can visit nearby. With me having the car he has more reason to come up this way!
Best wishes to all and Happy Holidays !
Tony P.

Nice car!
Bet ten to one that the clock does not work.

 

[Belgiumbarry]

no Arde, not working clocks are at 10 past 10

and sorry , i didn't follow the hole story , was it the intention of Joe , restoring the car for selling it ?

 

[Gransin]

Nice, Tony! How many e9 do you have now? Did you finish your Polaris project e9?

Polaris restoration is at stand still! Long story ...
I have 7 E9 ,
Three running (73 Ceylon, this one , and a 74 Polaris )
Two under restoration (71 polaris(my first one) second is the “Ohio car”)
And two more waiting to be restored !!!

That’s why I became the parts hoarder!!!:confused:

 

[JMinPDX]

Tony,
Nice car, great color. Glad it stayed in the “family”.
Joe,
We’ll see you again the “itch” returns.

Good luck!
John

Thanks guys, I am sure at some point I like to get involve redoing with another E9.

 

[autowerks]

It was not my intension to sell the car, but life happens!

What's wrong w the webers?

 

[Tony.dreamer]

What's wrong w the webers?

I don’t think anything is wrong with the Webber’s but checking them out as I try to synchronize them should be fun...

Congrats, Tony. But we’ve got to work on the location selection for your shoots around OKC.

This must explain why there’s not an E9 or interchangeable e12/e24/e28 part within 200 miles of OKC. I’ve gone places I was sure no
one knew about, and yet mysteriously all the good stuff one could use on an e9 was picked.

That’s Hilarious! But I accept!
Let me put it this way , I am a sucker for punishment , and may be overly optimistic! (as it relates to wanting to restore any E9 I find)
By the way I don’t know if it makes it any better but I have travelled exclusively for E9 purposes much farther than 200 miles , many times!! From Lajolla , CA , to Calgary Canada, to Libertyville IL, to Mami Florida! If that is not a mania , I don’t know what it is!

I hate to say it but I’m happy for your family’s sake that you are rescuing e9’s and not cats.
