Title: TC project car on bringatrailer.com
Post by: BDA on Monday,June 03, 2019, 05:50:09 PM

This is a project TC with a Pinto motor in it. It needs a lot and the bid is almost over and pretty low.

I've been following that. Almost tempted if the price stays reasonable.

The detail says it has a 4 speed manual but it is actually a 5-speed 365 gearbox - you can see the rear of the 365 in one of the photos.

The 352 and the 365 share the same frame but the 352 has an adapter plate for mounting the rear of the tranny which this car has.

Kicking myself for not buying this as a parts car. Everything appears to be mostly in great shape.

Wish I had bought it as well. But, if all of us had wanted to buy it the Europa would have escalated to $8,000.
