Hello,

 

Yes I am the highest bidder but simply because I am ignorant.

 

Is this an icon or another pile trying to pull some extra money... why in the world are there square taillghts on it...

There was a thread recently discussing your new purchase. I'm on mobile and can't copy/paste or I would dig it up for you. "2002ti turbo tapp" will get you there as the first result though.

That was probably a cool car at one point and maybe it could be again with enough time, money and skill. You'll probably need a ton of all three to resurrect it.

I think it's cool.  I agree w the old post - either bring it back as an old drag car, or as a ti.  Either will take some work - bento is 100% correct on that.  

 

Start a thread in the blog section on it - I think a lot of folks would enjoy that.

I havnt seen the other post about the car yet.

I would clean up the interior, put new throttle bodies on it and keep the stickers/patina as is.

I am sure the engine needs some love but I would do my best not to make it look 'updated'.

I bet it would bring a lot of attention at rallies/shows.

What seats would you put in it?

I would take a look at those rockers (in the last listing there were some closeups that seem to be strategically missing this time around) unless you want the attention from shows stemming from leaving your rear subframe and floor pans in the parking space as you drive away.

 

With all due respect I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.  This will be a much bigger undertaking than your last project.

 

Thanks for doing that website again though!

I too would be scared of rust.

 

Might be tough to bring it back-to-intact, structurally speaking.

 

Can't be both, Cool and Crap?

 

That'd be my vote.

i'd want it for the VIN primarily, but the reserve has not been met at 5K which i don't think could be recouped with all the extraneous bits on it. 

 

for me, i'd want to return to duel solex PHH's and KEEP the exterior looking the way it does, but remove the tailpanel and fender flares.  perhaps go with integral pigcheeks instead.

 

i'd curse the person who drilled the VIN on the front fender, too.

 

i'd want to return the original ti-specific parts to it.  but i love the patina...

 

talk is cheap and i've already spent my allocation on this example.

Race car unused for 25+ years.

Well, there you go, then.

 

Whatever it is, we all agree that throwing $20's off the end of the dock for a few hours would be CHEAPER!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
