Model:: 2002

Posting this for a long time family friend who is parting with this beauty. His description is below...

 

The history of the car is as follows:

 

In the mid-ninetys the car was restored / modified by it's owner, a BMW mechanic and shop owner, as it exists today.  The car was maintained and displayed by him in his shop ( Louie's BMW ) for 15 years.  I had tried to purchase it for many years during this period until I was successful about 5 years ago. It has been in my collection ever since.  I have put less than 500 miles on it during my ownership.  The car has always been garaged and never driven in rain and certainly not in the winter.

 

Details:

 

1972 Tii withTurbo flared quarter panels and spoiler ( currently removed )

BMW Factory crate Tii motor with less than 40K miles

Factory sunroof

HRE wheels

Dunlop SP Sport D40M2 tires - P205/50 ZR15 (F), 225/50 ZR15 ®

5 speed Alpina Close Ratio Gearbox

ANSA exhaust

Absolutely NO RUST anywhere

Runs like a watch and drives and handles great ( as you would expect )

 

The car is located on Cape Cod and he is asking $15k for it. Great guy and a car enthusiast who also owns many 50s, 60s & 70s MG's, Porsches and trucks. For any serious inquiries, please feel free to contact him directly. His name is Steve Cummings. You can reach him by phone (978) 854-2711 or e-mail ( kscummi@yahoo.com )

Personally I don't mind the mods on this car. If all that is reported is true, I think it's a very fair price.

Hopefully 500mi in the past 5 years is enough to keep all mechanicals/seals fresh.

Please post the VIN.  Does it have a clear title?  Please post some images of the interior, engine compartment and chassis.  Too bad it's not the original matching block.

 

The body kit is somewhat dated That, along with the updated nose, may not be to everyone's taste.  

 

That said, if it checks out mechanically, seems to be a fair price for what it is.  

 

If it were mine, I'd get it to the body shop for some original sheet metal or box flares post haste.

As previously stated, it's a restorable '72 sunroof tii -- assuming the VIN checks out. Given current round taillight tii prices, the price is not crazy.

I'd, of course, pull a BMW Archives report on it before I'd pull the trigger. This is going to be a costly project -- nosepiece, fenders, quarters, paint, bumpers, etc. -- on a car that has lost its original engine, so I'd at least want the car to have an original color snappier than Sahara (I'm certain I've just offended all those owners who find their Sahara cars "snappy"! -- I did own one myself if that helps)! Chances of a '72 tii being an original Schwarz car are very slender: the Archives report will immediately clarify the color issue.

Regards,

Steve

EDIT: Its VIN, 2760691, verifies it is a '72 model year U.S. tii, probably manufactured between January 15th and 21st, 1972.

that thing probably seemed awesome like 20 or 30 years ago but today it looks wired

I've seen a lot of things, but never a pseudo-Testarossa kit on a 2002.

I tried looking up the VIN using http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html

 and it says "No data related to 2760691 was found" I've used this archive successfully in my quest to pick up an 02 so I know it does work well...

Is there a different site you are using?

 

OP: not high jacking ur FS thread... I am really interest in this car and am trying to get an estimate on undoing the "Testarossa" look, i'll be in touch with your guy soon

Thanks

I keep a list of a few tii VINs with manufacturing dates provided by BMW Archives (VINs and dates collected from the forum). It's easy to estimate manufacturing months of other VINs based on these few known VINs. Although not NEARLY as good as an Archives verification, the best online VIN decoder is the one run by the BMW 2002 Club of Columbia:

http://www.bmwclasicos.com/vin.php

If you're interested in buying a particular '02, and you haven't sent the VIN to BMW Archives and requested their data on the car, you're missing a crucial check of the car's origins (info.grouparchiv@bmwgroup.com)!

Good luck,

Steve
