    That was when it was on Ebay. The Seller had it on Ebay 3 times in Jun & Jul 2017. It reportedly sold to the current Owner/Seller for $18,600. I think the South Carolina Ebay Seller was the only one that was realistic &, dare I say, honest.

    The current Seller (Peter) immediately (Aug 2017) offered it on Craigslist (Los Angeles!!) for $25k, then in Vancouver, BC for $37k (probably CAN$).

     

     

    I was the seller and indeed, I posted a painfully honest description.

     

    I treat people fairly as I would want.

     

    The buyer/present owner seemed to be a very nice man. 

     

     A lot has been done to the car since it was mine.

  2. Congrats to Dean Stribling of Spartanburg, SC for getting his 38K mile Nevada 2002 in the magazine (May 2013 issue)! His daughter Rachel has "taken over" the car after driving it. Pictures did not show the VIN. Wonder how much later it is from my car?

    According to the article, the car was originally owned by a school teacher in Los Angeles (not Pasadena).

    Pics show a Nardi steering wheel, flag driver's mirror and A/C console.

    Wonder if Dean/Rachel will bring it to Vintage this year???

    Thanks to all for your kind words.

    We actually took the car to The Vintage last year and likely will do the same this year. Seriously, Rachel is a car NUT!

    If you read the article, it alluded to the replacement for Rachel's 1975 Golf colored 2002, either English or Italian. Well, we got it! :):):)

  3. Hi guys.

    I have read everything I can find about replacing my failed guibo in my 1975 '02.

    I still am not clear on several points.

    1. After I remove the 8 old bolts, can the shaft just slide rearward far enough to disengage or must I remove the center support?

    2. Upon reassembly, how in the world do you get the torque correct if a torque wrench will not fit?

    3. What is the proper torque anyway?

    4. I will use new bolts, nuts and lock washers, are there any other parts I need to buy new, besides the guibo, of course?

    5. Once the shaft slides rearward, do I need to disassemble the interior components in order to lube with high temp moly?

    6. I am completely lost in how/why/if you need to "preload" the center bearing. This might be my biggest question, the preload thing.

    Thanks fellas, I appreciate any help!

  4. Enjoyed the show tremendously.

    This was my first year, I took my 1970 Nevada 2002. What company it had! Maybe 100 '02s, about 10 CSs of various sorts, 3, maybe 4 Tourings, 3 Isettas (the two above plus a limo), a lovely 1600 cab, the cleanest 325i I have ever seen, and much more.

    Lovely weather a bit on the warm side but plenty of shade and a breeze..off and on. For lunch, a 'Dog for Dogs', cute little weiner dogs there as a visual aid...

    Oh, and FREE BEER! Full 1/2 liter pours of Spaten and a free Spaten glass better than any beer glass I own. Not to mention the free T-Shirt. Sweet little Spaten-Girls talking beer to a bunch of old guys...hope they were paid well!

    I saw my friend Terry Shea who was shooting the event for Hemming's Exotic and Sports Car magazine. They are certain to feature some of the great cars in future editions.

    What a great event. I hope to make a 4 day trip of it next year.

    Does anyone know if it will be in the same place next year and the dates? I suspect the B&Bs go quickly.
