New member with 2002tii racecar project

[Abboushi]

What’s up fellas, 

I’m a new member to this group but have been around forums under this handle for years. I purchased a neglected racecar a few years ago and have now decided to pull it out and get it running again. If you know anything about it, I’d love to hear it! It’s a 72’ 02tii #77 the name on the roof says Dan lofgren I do know it was raced on the west coast by several other guys possibly Rudy Duviak (sp?), I plan to keep it as-is with decals and may restore the missing ones and leave it patina for character sake. She’s rough but has potential. Let me know your thoughts and if you have any parts that I may need contact me ASAP!!

Hey, Nice looking race car! I think I've seen your youtube videos. Ti's were only made from 68-71. From pictures it doesn't look like a Ti. Doesn't have a clock. Not sure if the Ti's came with the newer two piece dash. Doesn't have the mounts for Airboxes either. Could you send the vin? or at least the first four digits. Should be 168xxxx or 169xxxx. Looks like it has a low battery and a tii brake booster. Cool that is has 73-74 tii fuel injection!

David, nice to meet you. I’m no 02 expert that’s why I’m here to absorb any and all info I can get! The vin is : 2760481

You get this info:

Thanks Hal, I checked that before. I was more interested in the race history and pictures of it more than anything. I know the 02 community is pretty tight knit, figured it was worth a shot

VIN 2760481

 

That's a USA/North American specification 1972 2002tii.

 

The front left side inner wheel house looks to have been replaced (note the weld near the fusebox).

 

I hope you have the racing logbook to go with it.

That’s a great car. Start with a good scrub and go from there.

 

If the intent is to actually race the car, you will need to decide if it is an historic class where you race the car as-is or whether you update the safety equipment. You would need to work out what it would be legal for as it stands.

Rudy Revak used to race a TII in ITA in the San Francisco region.  G

That’s his name, this is the car.

Not sure what class rules there are for an ITA car but i see A LOT of weight savings!!!

Found this old post.  Every now and then, I search for my old race car, #48 Malaga tii that I raced in San Francisco Region.  I raced the same era as when this car was being campaigned.  I'd love to see it finished.  That car is fast!
