other Spotted In Hollywood

[thinksound_mike]

I'm out in LA for work and saw this really nice 1602 in front of me yesterday. Really nice paint and looked like a great car. I was in traffic and on my way to a meeting so I didn't get to stop the guy and nerd out on cars for a minute. Anyone on here know the car or owner?

nice color......

This car has been for sale on Craigslist a few times. I saw it in person last year during the 2013 Bimmerfest meet in Pasadena. It looked ok from the outside, but there were a few red flags when reviewed by FAQ members (a few months ago). The overall consensus was that it looked nice, but likely not worth what the seller was asking. For one thing, it has a late front nose and the "Alpina" wheels that seller claims as real are in fact not real. IIRC, the trunk and engine bay are also painted black. 

 

Color doesn't look like a standard 02 color either. 

 

But it's still a cool car to look at.

i knew someone would recognize it! yeah it looked nice from 10 feet, really clean. not sure what the owner wanted for it, but looked like a pretty nice car.

The rear bumper is also nice.  Are the little chrome covers for the joints a stock part or is that some aftermarket plastic chrome?

 

 

(Sorry, couldn't figure out how to increase the size of the photo and maintain resolution at the same time)

 

 Another FAQ'er installed plastic chrome over the joints and it looked as good as the real thing from the photograph.

From the CL ad, now I k now how to get the breaks - you gotta buy them! Wish I'd known sooner.

LOL!

 

The odd thing is that he knows that he wants to "break even", but doesn't know that a car has "brakes".

Does the hipster style come with the car, or do I have to pay extra for it?

 

What steering wheel is that? Just an aftermarket wheel with an Aplina sticker and M center cap?

some of you guys are just way too picky man.... post up your car and let us nitpick it.... i swear i cant stand some of you people on here. It's a nice car, you want to point out all the flaws, what about pointing out all the good stuff ? no car is perfect and if it was im sure the price tag would be more than 15k

I can't catch a brake!

My only issue is the use of the word "restored"

 

What exactly is restored about this car? The broken fog lights, wiper motor and car horn?

 

How is it "restored" if it has a late-model nose? And the side markers? Issues all over the place.

 

What he means to say is the "paint is shiny" and "I spent to much on this."
