Hi All,

 

My 67 1600 is up live on eBay Motors today.  Huge description there.  If you are looking for the best all-original early '02 with strong ownership history and provenance this is it.  Many life/family factors are driving me, with a heavy heart, to list it for sale (with a strong reserve price) after 10 years of ownership and lots of participation with the 2002FAQ.  I considered selling it at one of the Pebble Beach weekend auctions this year but its a lot of trouble to use them so I'm giving eBay a shot first.

Ya got my vote. Be hard pressed to find another 48 year old that looks this good. Good luck with the sale

$1000/ year she's been around would be my estimate of value  .What a thing of beauty

Good luck with the sale. 

A very nice and a very nice owner. The 1968 Manila 1600 I got from you in 2009 is still doing great and a lot of fun to drive. Thanks.

Hate to see you sell that beautiful car but times change. 

All the best.

Gorgeous car. The combination of Florida and a sunroof is just too wonderful! (Had a 6-volt Sahara '67 forty-plus years ago -- loved it -- but it didn't have your car's pizzazz!)

GLWS,

Steve

Thanks all for the nice comments!  Sam, good to hear from you that your '68 is going strong.  If the '67 sells I'm sure I'll get another '02 at some point, but never find another one as solid as this one I'm sure.  Definitely not a 67, they are rarer than 2002 Turbos at this point. I'd like to have a first-year 68 2002 as well.  We'll see!

I dunno. $27K could be a world record for a '67 1600-2. And, as the seller thoughtfully laid out in considerable detail, the car has a lot of minor needs now or in the near future. I believe $27K was a good deal from both sides!

(Yes, I know '67 Porsches are on fire! BMW's aren't....yet!)

Regards,

Steve

I also think this car sold for too low of a price. 

[bmw_e30]

if it was at peb beach next week with the right audience i would think 40-60k all day
