Beautiful restoration, but Inka Orange?

No VIN plate AND no holes for it. I'll wager it's a 1976 (& probably Inka-ish)

Let us know the VIN.

Just got off the phone with the owner.  A quick look without reading glasses on caused the mix-up here, though I should have run the VIN on the car before posting regardless.  This car is in-fact a 1976.

 

Now as to the color; the current owner is not the one who rebuilt and painted the car, so I cannot say for certain that it's Colorado or Inka.  It does look closer to Inka to me as well, but we'll just call it Orange for now, until I can get it parked next to another orange 2002.  

 

As always, thank you to the ever-knowledgeable folks of the FAQ!  One of the best enthusiast groups I've been lucky to be apart of.

Inka orange is probably one of the most vibrant, happy and popular choice when it comes to the 2002 body style.
My favorite is always A Chamonix, Golf green, Atlantik blue and the Colorado orange and maybe the Mint green.

I live in the area, and would dearly love an excuse to go look at this car.  

I'll be out of town from the 6th to the 10th, but other than that I can make time to eyeball, take pix, etc. 

 

I'm not a mechanic, but happy to check whatever I can.  I'm known in the E24 community, but not here and this is my first post here in a very long time, so not sure how PM/etc. works. as I appear to be in some kind of provisional status (mod must approve my posts apparently).  If a PM bounces, my screen name is the base of my email, adding the large search company's email for the rest.

Is the shifter support platform bolted to the tunnel?  It normally has a brace from the bottom of the transmission.

It is.  I'm not sure who's 5-speed conversion parts were utilized, but the upper platform has a mounting surface that goes through the side of the tunnel, and that through-bolt is currently loose.  Trans mount/brace itself is all good though, so just the shifter is a bit sloppy at the moment.  Given a little more time, I'll slide under there myself and tighten it up, just haven't had the right combination free time and desire to do so yet.

Definitely didn't get a PM on here, but I'll touch base via e-mail.

Scratch that; your e-mail bounces back as an unknown address.  Try shooting me an email directly.  Cagedbunny at gmail

Final price drop to $24k!

 

If the car isn't re-homed in the next couple weeks, we'll be pulling it off market, making some changes and revisions, and re-listing later this summer for a higher figure. 

If you're wanting a fantastic car to put your finishing touches on, you can't build one for less than this, so act fast!

I thought my car was worth $50k…then I saw this listing…😕
