1972 MGB GT

Posted: October 1, 2022

For Sale: 1976 BMW 2002 Project

Posted: July 25, 2002

I’m selling my partially disassembled 1976 BMW 2002. My original plans were to restore it but I have decided to change gears and concentrate on boats instead!

The engine was partly disassembled prior to removal but all of the parts are intact and included. It has a standard manual transmission and stock wheels and (old) tires. Some parts of the body need work typical of cars of this age. The right outer fender was completely rusted through and was discarded. The rocker panels have heavy rust but the strut towers appear to be well intact. The wheel wells have only minimal rust but will still need some attention. The back seat is intact but the front seats will need to be rebuilt. Unfortunately, the inside door panels will need replacement as they were previously cut to install speakers. The car comes with an extra hood and trunk lid, as well as two extra doors and a spare differential.

This former California car has never been modified and can readily be brought back into very good condition in the right hands. It is located in Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast (B.C.). It will need to be trailered to be taken away. More photos are available upon request.

Asking $4,500 OBO

For Sale: 1991 Ford Taurus SHO

1991 Ford Taurus SHO – Front View

Updated: July  1, 2021

This 1991 Ford Taurus SHO is a great example of the original classic; a real enthusiast’s car. It is powered by the excellent Yamaha DOHC 24 valve, V6 producing 220 hp and backed up by a five speed gearbox. The SHO delivered 143 mph/ 230 kph out of the box together with great gas mileage.  This example is fairly close to clean “survivor” condition, It has approximately $10,000 in performance upgrades including urethane suspension components, Koni shocks, stainless header and exhaust, and the Wilwood “SHOstopper” brake conversion.

Included with the car are most of the original parts, receipts and spares, including extra Wilwood brake calipers, extra SHO body parts, Ford factory manual and more.  The front engine seal leaks a bit but a new seal and a new timing belt are included.

The current owner has had this local BC car for 20 years. It has 185,000 miles and although it has been off the road for a few years, it starts and runs very well. It would likely qualify for BC Collector plates with some TLC. It is located in North Vancouver.

Update: If you aren’t familiar with the back story of the SHO, watch this recent video (here) from our good friends at Hagerty. As you will see, the SHO is the ultimate ‘sleeper’!

Price: $4,000 (And ask about a special deal for current VRCBC and SCCBC members.)
