Mine is also where is was when the car left the factory. It is in decent condition. I like it and it will remain in place as long I have any say about it.

I may have a used one. What condition do you want.

I also have a 69 Fairlane Cobra with the 428 CJ engine. I don't mind having to grease the suspension joints every few thousand miles when I can get in it and put the pedal to the floor and get the feel of that exhilarating acceleration. If I want to carve some corners I get behind the wheel of...

I would attend but I will be on a week long off-road trip in northern Nevada. Not with my Coupe though.

I wouldn't try submersing it in up to 6 ft of water without a snorkel on the engine and maybe on the driver too. Nice find.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw it but I don't remember it having sheet metal threads. I'll have to take a look. I need to get in there and replace the clock anyway.

That is a great reflection of something that was once great. You brought that car to life. You could put the name of great horse in the place of that car in much of that story and it would feel the same.

There is an adjustment screw accessible from the back that can be used to set the clock to the right speed. This requires removal of the clock. The unfortunate thing is it usually slows down again after a few years. I have two clocks and when one quits, I have the other one set and ready to...

That makes my coupe look like a jewel and I would not even consider asking that much if I wanted to sell.

Are you taking about the speedometer cable?

The package arrived today. Sorry, I am going to have to ruin that nice patina and make them look nicer. I am sure Jay Leno would object. Thanks.

PM sent .

I'll take them. I might be able to refurbish them.

I ran some when I was much younger in the 1980s. I started hearing about people getting shin splints and other problems so I stopped running. I still did a lot of walking and biking. A few years ago I also started mountain bike riding in addition to road biking. The mountain biking is more...

When electronics are overheating you smell something burning or degrading. That is a type of evaporation but is done as the molecules are breaking down. It is usually some kind of plastic material. It can even be coating that is burning or degrading.

When I bought my 2800 CS in 1980, it had the fan bolted directly to the water pump with longer bolts. I have continued to run it that way with no problems. It does whir a little at high rpm but that is not of great concern to me. I was having a slight overheating problem around 2009. It...

Maybe my mirror is different but I had the glass in my 70 2800 CS re-mirrored many years ago. I don't recall exactly what I did but I think I just flexed the plastic housing and slipped the glass out. Putting it back in was similar. Maybe sometimes not knowing what you can't do works out OK.

I was gong to say nada because I don't care for stickers. When I saw Stevehose's post, I remembered I still have a BMWACA sticker at top, center windshield.

You are right. My 70 Coupe has no charcoal canister. The fuel tank evaporation line goes directly from the reservoir in the trunk to the air filter housing fitting. I got into an argument with a smog inspector about that charcoal canister before my car became exempt from emissions testing...

According to my VIN, my 70 Coupe should be the 65th imported and it has the red turn signals.
