Week 37 is four-door week. A red Portuguese 72 sedan and carious US specimens.

Two 1972 project cars for Week 38.

For Week 39 this fast 1971 coupé just popped up on YT:

Theme for Week 40 is 1972 + white + a bit of work. What's worse: the Australian custom of putting on gold-plated 22" Simmonds rims with the rubber painted on them, or the American "laddered" wheels? The second car below at least wears its mesh wheels with some dignity. There's always something attractive about a rusty, but unmolested barn find.

Would love to find an RX-2 like this to convert to a racer

That would be really cool Clive

Why not? It can be done very tastefully:

Btw, could I have the barn find's original interior, then?

While you're searching, you'll need to study this one, Clive.

For upcoming Week 41 we hava a modified 72 coupé in a nice metallic blue. Looks like a lot has been invested in this one. Badge placing a bit on the creative side, perhaps.

That looks awesome, and a lovely shade of blue too

I'm still not a fan of the oversized wheels though

For upcoming Week 42 – an olive green metallic 1972 coupé with white interior.

This Norwegian modified 1972 coupé popped up in a sales ad late one evening last week. Ad had disappeared in time for breakfast next morning, so either it sold very quickly or the owner had second thoughts. A professional but unfinished build left in the garage for too many years, it has an upgraded suspension, escort steering rack and a bolted-in cage. The ad mentioned a full interior in leather as well. Let's hope we can see Week 43's Rx2 out on the roads again soon!

clive · October 25, 2021, 09:19:48 AM

I would say it just sold real fast

Casey · October 26, 2021, 11:04:41 AM

Let's hope a rotary engine is going back in there
