Free to good home: 1972 Europa S2
« on: Monday,May 30, 2022, 07:23:33 AM »
Disassembled, will roll onto trailer, 95% original parts, generally rough condition, additional engine/transaxle parts, Hermes intake and exhaust header, Cosmic wheels, etc.

You must take it all, located in northwest Florida, clear Florida title available - $100.00 (what it cost me), all car and powertrain number plates are in their original location

I'm getting too old and feeble to tackle this one and offer it in the interest of preservation of the species.

If you are interested or have questions, email me at greg54913@fairpoint.net.

5/31/22 - If you tried to contact me today, my internet service provider had issues revising their email servers. The problem has been resolved. Please try again.

Sorry you feel the need to abandon your your project. I hope you find a good home for her and her new owner will share the story of her rebirth!

On the opposite end of the country, naturally.

 :newhere: This will finally be getting a new home on the Right Coast of Canada. I'm having a friend in the south picking it up for me and it will make the rest of the trip up here in the spring. Looking forward to my new project, and I'm sure I'll be asking for lots of help along the way. Cheers!

Thanks all! I will do my best with updates. The first task is to get it home. It will be a while, it's now #3 on my list of projects, including a '67 Chevy C10 and a SBC powered '68 Volvo Amazon 2 door. I have a long suffering and somewhat understanding wife!  ;)

Congrats, Welcome to the forum, Phil. It's good to see another Europa coming to the Maritimes. Cheers  :beerchug:

Thanks Trevor, and it looks like we are going to meet up at some point, we're practically neighbours 'bye!  :beerchug: I have never seen a Europa in the Maritimes. Are there more out there?

Cheers

You'd be surprised. I know I was. I bought my car in 2010, and prior to that I had only ever seen two others in Nova Scotia my whole life. Since buying my Europa, taking it to a few shows and meeting people with stories, I have learned of about ten others in the Province. They are all in barns and garages (and a couple languishing in yards), and none are runners. There are even three of them within a 10 km radius of my house. Who knew? I know of one decent S2 and two project/parts cars have left the province for parts unknown since I've had mine.

Wish I had joined the group earlier.  This is the kind of project I'm looking for
