1963 BMW 700S Convertible plus many parts, including spare engines/trans – These are very rare cars with only a little over 2000 of the convertibles manufactured. This is the car that saved BMW from going under in the late 50’s. This is an all original, never restored car that has never been in an accident and has all of its original paint and interior. However, the car has been severely neglected and stored in a carport for the past 35 years and is currently NOT RUNNING. The paint, although all there and original, is oxidized however with a professional polish, it could be brought back to life. The interior is in generally poor condition. The convertible top frame is all there but the top fabric is gone. These cars have a double floor for rigidity and the top floor appears OK but the bottom floor has holes and will need repair – see photos. There are some rust bubbles near the headlights and in front of the driver’s door. Sills and rockers are excellent are solid! The engine moves by hand but buyer should expect to rebuild it. The muffler is missing. It needs brakes redone and all mechanical systems gone through as it has been sitting for 30 years. Steering column bushing has disintegrated so steering wheel has radial play. Passenger door lock mechanism is stuck so passenger door won’t open. Ignition/door keys, period brochures and old 700 club newsletters are included. The car comes with two extra 700S engines (in pieces) as well as an additional complete transmission and additional parts such as NOS rear light lenses, NOS brake cylinders, etc..

I was asked by a watcher if it has the matching engine and I just checked and the engine on the right in the photo with the engines and trans is the original engine with the serial number matching the body.On Feb-25-15 at 20:55:35 PST, seller added the following information: Someone asked so just to be clear, the car does have a few storage dents/dings which you should be able to see in the photos. The largest is behind the driver door near the bottom. There are a few other soft dings around the car ranging from golf ball to soft ball size. All of these can be easily removed by a paintless dent repair guy.
