I tried talking myself out of it, still trying to make room in the garage. Those wheels will be the first thing to go, Libre's up next.

Wish I still had mine. I sold it in 2009 before they shot up in value. Now I'm priced out of the market.

Looks good. Congrats. I recently bought my neighbor's '72 that hasn't seen the road in at least 15 years. I hope to take her out on a maiden voyage in a few weeks. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks all. I love the color, I believe it is #918. The original drive train is long gone, it has the 280 motor and 5 speed running SU's. I would love to find some of the Original D hubcaps if any body has a line on them. I hope to source a 2400 and 4 speed later. Rockers, wheel wheels and under battery need rust repair. That side moulding won't be coming back after paint either.

I never realized how similar the front fenders are to the roadster until this pic. Nice car! Congrats.

Nice find! I've had over 32 S30's in life so far. 3 of them were early 70's. The only S30 I have now is a 73' that was my last rotisserie restore. Turbo charged and all the usual bits like coilovers etc. They were my first LOVEs!

Beautiful car. I'd suggest the vto wheels. They're similar to the libre but available in a 15" Have fun with it.

Boy, do I hear that. Been looking for one, even just a project car, in the New England area. Nothing. When you do find one, they want $25k.
