Super straight, completely rust-free 1976 BMW 2002. This car has been a California car all of its life. Completely stock and all original, except an old refinish many years ago. It is a bone stock, right down to its original SOLEX carburetor. This 2002 has 133K original, careful miles. It has never had any modifications, repairs or changes to deviate it from its stock original condition. The original 2.0L four-cylinder motor runs very well, with no noises, knocks or leaks. It starts, idles and runs fine. NO overheating issues or low oil temperature. It runs and drives well. I have been the second owner of this BMW for nearly twenty years, and purchased it from the original owner in Hillsborough, CA in the early 1990s. I was hoping to pass it on to one of my grandchildren, but unfortunately they do not really have much of an appreciation for an classic BMW. I have not driven it much in the last few years ( I have kept up current registration and insurance on it thru 2014), and I would prefer to find it a new, loving owner that will appreciate it as much as I have. The mechanical condition is remarkable for a vehicle of this vintage. It has a peppy 2.0L engine, mated ot its original four-speed manual transmission. The car drives and shifts well, without hesitation, and with no clutch slippage, chatter nor grinding of gears. NO rearend, axle or wheel bearing noises either. The body of this 2002 is very solid, without the usual rusty strut tower or trunk area rust issues common to these old cars. The body is 98% straight and solid. It had been refinished once before in a slightly different shade of silver-blue ( done by the previous owner, not myself). There is absolutely NO structural rust on this car. The floorboards, quarters, doors, engine compartment, trunk, rocker panels and undercarriage are rust free. There is some very minor finish loss on the lower edge of the rear windscreen as pictured. Overall, it is a solid, virtually rust-free California BMW 2002. It would make a great candidate for a mild restoration, or drive it as it is. Its classy, timeless lines make the 2002s a very good investment and lots of fun. I have a CLEAR California title ( in my name), currently registered through 2014. It is turn-key and drive.
