what model / year is that one?

 My first Upstate NY 1971 2002 had some rust repairs by previous owners, fiberglass front fenders, and flairs only on the rear.  General motors brown. This pic is from 1981 in Plattsburgh NY. The Brownie eventually rusted back into Mother Earth.

Here is my 2002tii pictured about 20 years ago with the third owner in Florida. It was delivered to Italy new in April of 1971, imported to Virginia by a Navy officer who sold it to gentleman that worked at NASA (spoke to him, cannot recall the year off the top of my head), and then sold via Roundel in June of 1998 to a guy in Florida. I was able to obtain the 1971 Florida license plates pictured here, cool that they match the color of the car.

FYI your license plate is from Hendry county (south of lake Okeechobee, LaBelle is the county seat).  The 49 is the county's number in Florida's 1938-75 licence plate numbering scheme; the "D" indicates a passenger car weighing less than 2500 lbs, so it's the proper plate for your car.  Good score!

Mike, thanks for sharing this info! Very cool to know this.

Couple finds from the November 1968 Road and Track. ‘02 ad and the “B” section of the classifieds.

My 71 in 1980 taken somewhere off base in West Germany shortly before I sold it. And sadly about a month later I found it in this condition on base. About broke my heart.

We can talk about the BMWs later. How do I get a time machine to buy that '63 Cobra with 3,300 miles for only $4,200? ($36,847 adjusted for inflation) From the original owner nonetheless.

In that case, can I interest you in not 1 but 3 300SLs?

Two 250 GTs a '67 911S that the first owner is driving the hell out of and a '46 VW? What!

Interestingly enough, just as they were in the late 60s, the 300SL and the Cobra (at least the 427 version) are valued similarly today.  The Mercedes is a mechanical exotic while the Cobra is a brute.  Both are iconic.    A friend of mine has a 427 Cobra that he bought used around 1971 for something like $5K.  Still has it.

Heck, I'd take the Fiat 600 Jolly for $1795!  They're bringing over $80k today.  Really...

I love looking back at some of the cruises we had - these shots are from 2006 around the Yarra Valley region (I think a couple of shots are mine and a couple were TMK001).

Great bunch of '02ers - most of these cars are still on the road today. Sadly a couple lost to accidents.

Not a great photo, but my original ‘74, VIN 4229762 Arctisblau metallic paint code 045, some time in the ‘80s in Swampscott MA.  Fun to drive in the snow!
