I was flipping thru some older Roundels looking for VINS and ran across these two:

January 1988 (pg 64):

1976 2002. VIN 2375775. Red w/tan interior. Blueprinted and balanced.

45 DCOE Webers, Schrick 316, 12.5:1, 3.90 rear, BMW close ratio 5-speed,

7x13 Hayashi Racing wheels. Lowered, cambered, dynotuned.

One quick 2002. Serious inquiries only. $ 10,500. Raine Mantysalo (MD)

Raine's ad included a B&W picture

January 1984 (pg 57):

1972 2002tii. Malaga w/tan, black interior. Second owner, 116K miles.

New paint, valve job, radiator, timing chain, battery, front fenders, grill,

chrome trim, floor mats, interior in excellent shape, but needs new carpet.

Thanks Raine! You have a great memory >> liked the e-mail history on that car. For Sale ad was in January 1988 Roundel. Easiest way to find it: Cover photo of Yellow barn with Polaris 72 3.0CS at Tulsa OK State fairgrounds (Oktoberfest '87) by Yale Rachlin.

Raine and John Hartge wrenching on your newest '02 at Lothar's place in May. Just like old times eh? Need to know more from you and John.

We both have the suspensions done now. I got Bilstein HDs and Korman Roadsport springs. We take the two cars, his silver '74 and my white '76, out pretty much once a week and check out the country roads around Sharpsburg, MD. BTW, John picked up his new 335is coupe at the Performance Center just recently. More to come... -Raine

Cool! How is the ride in your car now?

My 02 has gone through a total transformation, it really is a different car now. The suspension, the 32/36 Weber and the 320is steering wheel made it much more fun to drive. I'm looking into fixing the roof now, getting rid of the Webasto. We'll see. -Raine

Need a solid roof? My '71 Agave awaits...
