You are bidding on a driver quality restored black on black 1972 BMW 2002. I purchased this car in May of 2012 in Hillsboro OR and have spent the last two years having it professionally restored. I am the third owner of this car. The original owner handed it down to his nephew and I purchased it from that nephew. The car had been stored in the family barn since the late 90’s before I purchased it. So I guess technically it’s a barn find. Since the car had been in storage for the past 12+ years the body was in really great shape with no rust in any of the usual 2002 problem areas, shock towers, floor pans, spare tire well, running boards etc. All are really solid. I’ve included some before and after pictures of some of the common problem areas before they were cleaned and re coated with fresh undercoating to keep them protected. The cars original color was malanga but it was repainted to (schwartz) black back sometime in the 80’s. During the 2 year restoration I had the car taken down to bare metal and re painted this same black. The interior of the car has been reupholstered in black vinyl including front/rear seats and door panels front/rear. The door panels were replaced with Aardvark racing wooden panels before they were reupholstered. As far as I can tell the carpet is original. If so it’s in incredible shape. Beyond the restoration the following upgrades have been performed: BMW OEM BBS wheels, BMW OEM Sport Recaro seats, New Weber 32/26 carburetor, flush European turn signals and Hella driving lights. Here is a high level overview of the work performed during the restoration, detailed work below. Bare metal repaint in Fall 2013 Complete engine rebuild Spring 2013 Complete interior reupholster Fall 2013 Brake system rebuild Spring 2013 Suspension rebuild Spring 2013 Blower rebuild Spring 2014 All receipts for this work will go with the car. The car runs well and the engine pulls strong. It handles well and stops just as well. After all the mechanical work I would expect nothing less. Paint is a 9/10, interior 9/10, mechanical 9/10, chrome 8/10 (some of the chrome, drip rail, window trim has a few scratches), engine bay 7/10 (mechanically sound just could use detailing). The engine has approximately 1000 miles on the rebuild. The engine rebuild included the following: New pistons New head New valves New springs New spark plugs New spark plug wires New belts New Engine mounts New weber 32/26 carburetor New heat shield All gaskets replaced While the engine was out the following was done: New transmission mounts Service the transmission Service the rear diff Rebuilt the alternator New water pump New 320i radiator and hoses New thermostat The brakes were professionally rebuilt including: New brake hoses at all four corners Replaced brake master cylinder Replaced rear wheel cylinders New brake light switch The front suspension was professionally rebuilt including: New front control arms.
