New Member - New project 73 3.0 CS in Taiga (Charlottesville, VA)

[Chris504]

Hi all. New member here, checking in from Charlottesville, Virginia.
I've been into pillarless coupes for a while now. I have a '64 Mercedes 300SE W112 with a four-speed manual, and that car set the standard for me. Hard to go back to a B-pillar after that.
I just finished rebuilding the engine on my '69 2002 and stumbled across my dream project: a '72 3.0 CS Euro-spec in Taiga Green. I've wanted one of these for as long as I can remember.
For fun, I put together a fictional luxury car rental site around my random collection. The "dream build" 3.0 CS just got its own page. If you're curious, here it is: getawaycar-duiolpgt.manus.space
Looking forward to learning from all of you as I get into this build.
Best,
Chris
