The ol' '76 is thirty seven years young with a original manufacture date of tomorrow. Originally Polaris, and an Automatic.  Lotsa mods later...

So many fun times...still a blast.

Thanks guys!  You know it's work to keep it pretty clean.

 

02ing is such a great experience - behind the wheel, under the hood, and with the camaraderie.

Bet most of your 02's have hit 37 by now, with most into the 40s -- mine's one of the youngins.   ;)

 

The silly pokemon is me dressed out for the ski season closing day at Vail this year, the infamous "4 at 4" celebration.  Skiing is my second greatest waste of time.

Thx, Carl.

No way I'm catching TONS of folks on here, let alone Mr. Self -- I've only been the caretaker of my 02 for ~15 years.  And it being a very late '76, my 02's birthdays will always be around the youngest.

 

Took it for a long drive yesterday - and it was a blast, even in the rain...  :D

Thanks man - it's not everyone's cup-o-java, nor 'tis cosmoschwarz :D

 

That's OEM belt line trim that's been prepped and painted body color.  Has lasted 20 years so far... I wasn't a fan of trimless - the gap changes front to rear along the belt line...and like highlighting only selected chrome on it.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
