Not a new member just a new car!
After a very frustrating couple of months since owning my "new" '73 3.0cs I am finally ready to present her to the forum. I found the car on craigslist late June (it was mentioned here under for sale section) had a PPI done, wired a lot of $$ and shipped the car to RI on a car carrier only to find out that the car wouldn't go in reverse the 2nd day I owned her (automatic). I dropped her off at a local shop were she sat for close to 2 weeks to find out that it was a relative minor problem (the seller was kind enough to pay for the repaid cost) After a few more minor hurdles she is finally ready for the road (only to put her away for winter storage in about 4-6 weeks!)
Here a picture at Lime-rock Vintage festival in CT last Saturday
Car runs great and looks even better, so pleased that I almost forgot that I went back to an automatic from a 5spd
My 2800cs sold this weekend
