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.

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.

Chris
 
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.

Nice job in progress. Are you in town or down south?
 
I've been away for years what happened with the cs registry mailer? I'm sure the answer is here in the forum somewhere.

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.
 
Yeah its an old Blaupunkt. The car feels like 1969 when I sit in it.:p 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?
