Also, I've heard that the '73 2002 > Bimmers are bad news (according to Motor Trend magazine). Does anyone know Do not buy the '74 unless the engine was rebuilt by an enthusiast rebuilder. The '74s had a oil delivery problem which caused them to eat their engines at an early age. The '73s were the second best 2002s made. The '76s (their last year of production) were the best of all. I had my 2002 for 13 years and loved it. The weber carb is a good bet. The original Zenith was a piece of over-priced junk. AIR is still doing business in rebuilding 2002s. They're located in Reading, PA., not Belvedere, NJ as before. Cheers, Joe Woodtitania!jlw
