Anyone know this car? VIN 2763300

[kprocyk]

Folks,

 

Looking at purchasing a nicely restored 1973 2002 tii, vin number 2763300. Car is now inka, but was originally a granada red out of Pennsylvania, it was then in Ann Arbour MI before coming to Canada. 

 

I am very serious about the car. It's in nice shape, just wondering if anybody has any more info on it which could really help me out in my decision on it.

 

Let me know.

It was originally Verona.

Sold for big money around 2010 in Pittsburgh, and also in 2012 in Ann Arbor.

FWIW, I don't think BMW offered grenada red as late as 73. I think by mid 71 or 72, they were only offering "verona" red. Grenada is a slightly darker red that suits the 1960s era cars. Any experts on paint options want to chime in?

VIN 2763300 is a U.S.-spec 1973 tii that was probably manufactured on or slightly after January 22, 1973.  An email, with the VIN, to BMW Archives (info.grouparchiv@bmwgroup.com) will quickly confirm the manufacturing date as well as the original color.

 

The window sticker below, for VIN 2762987, should give you a general sense of 2763300's original window sticker and price.

 

Regards,

 

Steve
