other for sale .... '74tii - $15,000 (san jose, CA)

tan interior

My 74tii fjord has factory tan interior.

This would be a true bargain if it were a solid color rather than metallic.

 

Those two-stage paints in the early 70s were plagued with problems - dullness, checking and peeling.  As you can see from the window sticker above, metallic paint was an extra-cost item.

 

Fortunately BMW paid all or part of a respray on these cars.  The E9 and E3 owners complained long-er and hard-er than the 02 owners but still...

 

Because of the articles and warnings in BMWCCA Roundel, I purchased a Amazonasgrun '74 2002 (#4225509).  it was the last 1974 2002 delivered to my local dealer.  I took possession in early 1975.  It had a single, trapezoid mirror fitted to the driver's door.

 

This tii may be a good deal if you want a patina'd "driver" or "rolling project."

 

Look carefully for rust on cars with metallic paint jobs.  I had a Polaris '74tii - from SoCal - that was very bady rusted.

I recounted my sad metallic paint tale in Post #11 of the following:

and the ensuing 30 years of anger -- solely on my part!

Regards,

Steve

+1 on the metallic paint. The over spray below the hood vents means the hood has had a respray at some point.
