I sold the best one. Still have this. Need to rebuild one front brake cylinder to I can drive it. That should help!

The Ones Worth Traveling For

Hey Doc, I appreciate your suggestion you’re right, I still have a large quantity of vintage parts and a few vehicles, but I haven’t had the time to consolidate everything into one organized photo set.

., I’m just going through it box by box as I uncover things. …
. If there’s something specific you're looking for, let me know, and I’ll keep an eye out as I go through everything.

That said, the 2800 is one of those rare machines that true enthusiasts recognize instantly, the kind of car that makes you willing to go the extra mile (or a thousand) just for the chance to own it.

. I bought my first E3 sight unseen from a paper copy of AutoTrader, before the internet. Took a bus down to California, swapped the motor in a friends garage, and drove it home.


I’m moving slowly on finishing the 2800, but I’ve got a storage container full of parts
.
, the journey is always part of the story.


, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Well, almost every minute. Except for that time …. But hey, thats just part of the experience!
