Esty's cool little pickup now lives in WA...


1972_Targa

Recommended Posts

Esty's (and her husband Steve's) amazing little 1971 2002 pickup arrived from Byhalia, MS yesterday by way of Russian transport (this was Andy S.'s pickup from about seven years ago). Needless to say I'm thrilled. I plan on spending a couple of months sorting it out a bit, but in general it's a stellar conversion in good condition with great bones.

 

My wife and I are currently staying with friends in Vancouver, WA, and moving to Orcas Island at the end of the month. This will be my daily driver once we take on the island life. An 02 in paradise!

Very cool. I'll be on Orcas for a friend's wedding at the end of August. You'll probably still be sorting it out, but I'll keep an eye out for you driving around while I'm there, just in case.

Thanks. It will definitely be driven while being sorted out.

 

While we were visiting the Islands a while back, I saw a couple of 02's. What appeared to be a 74 Malaga on Orcas Island as well as a beautiful Colorado tii Roundie on San Juan Island. Hard to tell if they were visitors or locals.

That's awesome! Glad to see that it stayed in the extended family and that its local. Hope to see it in person at the next get together.

Is the car in Vancouver?  Plan to bring it downtown Saturday for "Cruisin' the Gut"?

Thanks, but not quite ready for prime time. Have fun...

We're talking about Vantucky.  The 'Couve.  Like Portland, but you can drive in the bike lanes.  Ain't no stinking prime time here. Come on down, car or not.  It's quite an event.

That will be a good replacement for the one I took off Orcas Island three years ago.

If you meet a guy named Jim there that starts to tell you about all the 2002's he had that's where I got

 

Fatherof3, beautiful tobacco/agave combination. Love it. And yes, something tells me that Jim will be seeking me out upon first sight of either 2002 (we're also taking up the 1972 Baur Targa, so Jim should have plenty to yak about).

 

I spent the day cleaning up wiring under the hood and in the tailgate section. While standing back and admiring the lines on the little truck, it hit me that the C pillar falls almost exactly the same position on both this vehicle and the Targa. Crazy...

 

And yes, Crumbod, hope to meet up with y'all in Anacortes some time soon!

    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
