It's from select classics. Seems like a good guy and car, but just wait a few min and you'll hear the whining about select classics.

Haha...

You are so right!

Full disclosure.. I was going to say "$15K for a non runner/car that hasn't been started, sounds about right for them"

But now I am not going to say it ;-)

No rust, but there is rust where it was repaired. Huh?

Needs minor things in addition to engine. Again, whut??

Nice dash? Really? Is that gaping crevice a factory option?

If a price of $15K was listed, it is no longer. Still, this car looks as good as the in-op Agave tii that sold recently in Mass -- long thread here complete with odd, un-gentlemanly jeers from the the seller's agent -- for $15K-ish.

Yes, the Agave paint sticker appears venerable and miserably-abused. I wouldn't be shocked, however, if there's been an exterior or interior color change. Why? The underhood Agave looks likes it might be covering a lighter color, or it's just a really bad paint job -- which is also likely. And Agave ordinarily came with a saddle interior (and tobacco prior to saddle). Black interiors, in this car's era, generally arrived in Golf, Colorado, Inka, Verona, Ceylon, and Taiga cars (with its additional likelihood in Riviera, Atlantic, Schwarz, Baikal, and Turkis U.S. cars, the cars that generally received gray or gray/black mix interiors in the Euro market). So I suspect either the exterior or interior color has been changed. Heck, that beautiful backseat backrest looks too good for this car's engine compartment!

Aluminum intake runners are certainly possible in a later 1972 model, but it's an unusual combination with the notch-free firewall. I'd certainly be looking at the engine number and the head and intake manifold/injection pump dates to see what is and what might be original to the car.

Overall, however, $15K is no longer a crazy price for a rough-ish, even in-op '72 tii -- disclosing, of course, that the author of that statement owns a rough-ish '73 tii!

If I were in the market, I'd give this car a closer look -- and I'd request a report from BMW Archives (info.grouparchiv@bmwgroup.com) to verify its manufacturing date and factory color.

Regards,

Steve

I don't want to. Don't care. Not buying from them.
