1971 BMW 2002 non-running project car with spare parts.

1971 BMW 2002

BMW 2002 non-running project car including many valuable spare parts. Titled in California as a 1971 model year. BMW Restoration Guide indicates VIN is a 1970 model year. Car has been non-operational and dry stored in enclosed garages since 2005. The car was operational, registered and insured when parked. Thereafter, the registration was changed to non-operational status.

To the best of my knowledge the car is original and complete with the exception of one overspray of paint by a previous owner. I had intended to perform mechanical and body restoration on the car and did some minor disassembly and removal of parts from the vehicle. I have those parts along with many valuable spare parts that I acquired over several years to use in the restoration. The removed original and spare parts are included with the vehicle in this auction.

Mileage shown on the odometer is 16673. I don't have knowledge of the actual mileage. The previous owner told me the car spent its life in California and Oregon. I have reason to believe that is accurate given the limited amount of body rust but cannot confirm it.

Condition Disclaimer: I am not a trained professional automotive technician. The observations below are based on my own experience, inspection and photographing of the vehicle and may not be a complete and accurate accounting of the actual vehicle condition.

General Condition Electrical/Mechanical: Every electrical and mechanical system in the car will need to be thoroughly gone through, tested and repaired before the car will be roadworthy. Known mechanical problems when parked were worn flywheel ring gear. worn second gear synchro, Frigiking air conditioning condenser leaking, worn front suspension bushings and struts and weak braking. The engine performed well at the time with no visible oil leaks or smoke. The electrical system also functioned well including charging, ignition, lighting and gauges. The tires appear as new but are unsafe for the road due to age and should be replaced.

General Condition Body: The body is very straight and I haven't found any indication of collision damage with the exception of the passenger side rear corner. It appears there was a low speed impact that slightly bent the right rear bumper corner and bracket, and pushed it into the bodywork. Visible areas of rust include left and right fenders where they connect to the lower rockers, left and right rear quarter panels underneath the rear window aluminum trim, small area on right rear wheel well lip, under the pedal box, very minor surface rust on front bumper, surface rust on the spare tire well inside trunk. My observation indicates that the underside of the floor pans, lower rockers, trunk floor and spare tire area are solid. All of the glass is intact. The dash is very cracked but I'm including another used one that has very minor cracking. The headliner is in very good condition. The driver's seat has a stripped pivot bolt that needs repair and seat front and rear upholstery covers are in fair condition, as is the carpeting. The front interior door panels are in poor condition and the rear panels are in fair condition. The steering wheel is shot but I am including a replacement in good condition.

In my opinion, the car is in very complete, solid condition and would be a very good restoration candidate for someone willing to put the time, money and effort into getting it running and back on the road.
