1976 BMW 2002 Barn find - local Los Angeles car

1976 BMW 2002

Unmolested, very straight body, totally stock. Never been cut, hot rodded or modified. Little rust in trunk in spare wheel well and battery box.The floor in excellent shape showing no rust at all. Other than that a great candidate for restoration.
Car came out of a property in Santa Monica and had been stored for about eight years. Car has original small pink slip that was issued at that time with the blue California plate.I have pink slip in hand.
The car had not been started for probably the time it had been left in storage, so I cleaned out the gas tank and filled with fresh gas, blew out and replaced most of the fuel lines plus installed a brand new fuel pump. I also replaced some of the coolant lines as the rubber was hard. Installed a new battery. Removed and cleaned out the carburettor and blew compressed air through the passages. The car started up and ran but after about five minutes it started to blow white smoke out the tail pipe and I noticed some coolant in the valve cover and I figured that it needed a new head gasket.The motor does sound good.
I did move the car forward and back and found the clutch to be responsive and it seemed to shift through all the gears and found that the brake peddle did go down about halfway but the car did stop.
The interior is all stock with just the drivers seat needing repair. No cracks in the dash. An old type cassette tape player was installed in the console and the ashtray cover is missing. All the carpeting and original mats are in great shape.
I am not sure about the condition of the brakes as I never removed a wheel but as I already mentioned the peddle does travel half way down.All the tires would need replacing they are dry and the tread on a few, are down.
The odometer reads 57000 and I cannot verify the accuracy.
Other than that a great candidate for restoration.I have inspected the car to the best of my ability and any inherent defects that I have not seen and listed is totally unintentional.
It is always a good idea to inspect the vehicle before you buy.
