| VINs 125XXXX relate to the 4 door "neue klasse" BMW 1800 I believe. But that would make it a 1965/66. Maybe just a coincidence of numbers? |

Not mine, not guilty.
This car sold Dec '07 on Ebay to the now Seller (Dealer) for $2k.
Wonder if they did anything to it other than trailer it from CT where it was.

Tom, Do you think the turbo 02 is a clone or real. It would be interesting to know. It would also be worth a mint if true.
It's real (according to the VIN) check the Ebay link. |
