This is a 1972 BMW 2002 in it's original "Nevada" color with a 4spd manual transmission and sunroof. The car is in GREAT shape with VERY little rust - in fact just one spot in spare wheel well. The car was originally purchased in California which explains the "dryness" of this 2002. I have literally a pile of receipts documenting its "life" in Southern California. (Also have the original California Blue Plate.) I purchased the car from an older gentleman who spent more time hoarding cars than driving them. It needed a partial restoration to bring it to it's current state. Any and all original parts removed for replacement have been saved and will transfer with the car. The body is incredibly dry and required very little real work - the sills, front and rear shock towers, door bottoms, all glass frames, inner fenders, front and rear pans, all floor boards, frame rails, sub frame mounts, truck floor(except one spot in spare well), roof, and all quarter panels are rust FREE! As in ZERO, NONE, NUNCA, NICHT! I did remove the rear reflectors and welded the holes. You will find NO BONDO "filling" anything on this car! I wanted to give it a slight "old school rally look" with the CIBIE Oscar lamps and hood latches as well as "euro" flat front turn signals. (I have the original hood latch mechanism.) The wheels are brand new E30 steels wheel with new 195/60/14 rubber.(I have the original wheels and tires w/chrome BMW caps in great condition that goes with the car.) I added a MOMO Indy Steering Wheel to finish off the original interior. There is only one crack on an otherwise flawless dash! The door cards had been cut for speakers so I added new speakers as the old ones were ugly and shot. (I did not hook the stereo back up but it's all there and could be done in 15 miutes.) It really is a pretty car and turns heads wherever it goes. I have owned 6 - 2002's and this is the driest and best looking one I have had. Nevada has always been one of my favorite BMW colors of all time - I like Inka and Golf as well. :) Now, for the "needs. The paint is the ONLY "not-so-wonderful" part of this car. It has some "rough" spots in it that could be fixed if so inclined. I color sanded and buffed it so it shines like crazy. I would call this a "5 foot paint job". You could "spot paint" to fix the spots without re-spraying the whole car. The heater fan works when it feels like it. The headliner is hole and rip-free but it is dirty - I'm still in process of cleaning it. The front seats do have some splits in bottom cushions but I have some sheepskin covers that go with the car that could use. (I wanted to re-do the seats in a complimentary plaid color which would look incredible!) If you want a classy-as-hell round taillight 2002 for a cars and coffee machine, classic tourer, or just head turner then this is good to go right now as she sits! If you want an over-the-top restoration this would be a great start.

THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THE CAR NOR HAVE THEY EVER ASKED ME ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT YET DECIDED THAT WAITING UNTIL 1 DAY BEFORE AUCTION CLOSE WOULD BE A "GENTLEMANLY" THING TO DO. THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN GOING AROUND LATELY AND IT'S A SHAME THAT A MAN CAN'T BID HONESTLY WITH THE INTENTION OF BACKING UP HIS BID. THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE CAR AND IT DOESN'T DESERVE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR FROM CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS. THANK YOU.
