Old new member '69 e3 central ca

[Bob]

Hi, I'm Robert I've had e9's and e3's over the years. I was given a cca membership application by Murray at the coupefest in 1991 and had a chat with him. My current driver is a early 06/69 2800 auto. Looking for e9 front clip radiator forward to get another back on the road.

Some more pics? Welcome!

 

[teahead]

More pics please!

If you need parts, post a "WTB..." post in the Parts Forum.

 

[Bob]

Thanks for the welcome. Here's a few pics, still has the 2.8 head. The fuse panel is similar to e9. I don't come across many early cars. This one has the "cyclops" hood later refitted with two more windsheild squirters for a total of three. Thinking of swapping out the zf3hp20 for a getrag but its actually nice not shifting.

Bob,

Welcome, it's nice having members with both e3 and e9 experience. Is pic 4 in Pacific Grove? Sure looks familiar.

[Bob]

Yes its pg- the terrain and trees. Chris I see you have a 2800 nice! Sorry for the pics, I think my camera was on auto-rotate so they must have ended up upside down when I uploaded here.

Yep, Vasek Polak BMW sold 4/20/70 being brought back to life. Thread is here:

Nice job in progress. Are you in town or down south?

 

[Bob]

I've been away for years what happened with the cs registry mailer? I'm sure the answer is here in the forum somewhere.

 

[HB Chris]

Bob, southern HB. Add your location to your profile. The Registry has been gone for many years, many former members are here though and we have a link to the old newsletters somewhere.

I love the ALL AM radio! That is a keeper! If you ever want to sell that I'm interested. Who makes that? Looks like Blaupunkt from the dials.

 

[Bob]

Yeah its an old Blaupunkt. The car feels like 1969 when I sit in it. The clear windows are a nice change from the later green tint. I pulled an old 8 track out of the coupe a while back:lol:
Added pics of tri-windsheild wiper squirters. The door sill trim looks the same as 75-76 3.0si and 73 3.0s. Also is the wheel arch the same as later cars?

Better yet sometimes the smell can bring you back to when you were a kid on one of these.....

I came across a few old parts in the trunk.
