Nice TCS on ebay
« on: Tuesday,May 14, 2019, 11:47:07 AM »
There is what appears to be a very nice stock maroon TCS on ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-Europa-Twin-Cam/163644115657?hash=item2619f30ac9:g:JgYAAOSwoF5cr~3A). The brake booster(s) - I can only see one of them - doesn't look to be rebuilt so that will likely have to be addressed. Otherwise, it looks very nice so they want a nice price for it.

a shame those rear 1/4 panel pin stripes wrap around to the rear way, way too far from original positioning.
maroon paint overspray on the rear undercarriage/trans mount.   license plate holes in front bumper.
still a beautiful example!

and crying out for rear engine cover gas strut brace.

Those side pin stripes are really horrible.

Here is another Europa on eBay but they obviously put in the wrong section of the site.  It is under collectibles rather than cars and trucks.

That's a pretty nice one. It does need some work but the paint looks nice.

The nice thing about Bringatrailer and ebay is that you can find out the results of the auction. BAT is better because they provide historical data.

The 1974 TCS that was at Gateway Classics and featured on eBay has been sold.
