In 1971, when I was about to be discharged from the U. S. Army in Europe, I was told that I could send a car home from Germany for free. So the thought came to mind to buy a 250 Mercedes Coupe. After determining that $5500 was more than I could afford, I settled on the 1971 BMW 2002 for $2900. I drove it to the port and then was left without a car until I returned to the states and picked it up in New Orleans. It was a renewed friendship when I drove it back to Arkansas from Louisiana. After a brief loss of the car due to divorce, I bought it back, and then later sold it to a couple from Louisiana. Years later, I found the "red" car on e-bay and the rest is history. It is a great little car. Read on and click on the red links for additional pictures.
The red car is for sale for $12,500.  |
