"Must sell my 74 BMW 2002 tii restoration project. I started this about 12 years ago and life got in the way. I am moving and too much of a hassle to take with me. It is in pieces! Body is straight and rust free last I checked (California car). It has been garaged since pulled apart. Body is primed. Hood, doors, trunk lid, are all painted silver (original color). Engine has been rebuilt, bored, new pistons, rings, bearings, seals, valves, etc., fuel injection pump rebuilt by well known rebuilder. Has 5 sp transmission mated to engine, new exhaust, motor mounts reinforced, LSD diff. AC converted to 134. Front end not installed so must devise dolly to move it. Have many new parts to go with it and extra set of rims. Over 20K invested, its yours for 15K. Clear title too."

What a deal! Invite your buddies over and you'll have this baby back on the road by Monday. LOL! $15K? Maybe $5K if that stored-on-a-drum-in-a-corner engine is actually useable and all the car's components are actually present! Oh..wait...the doors are already painted -- well in that case, $15K sounds just about right!

But seriously, or semi-seriously, or facetiously, does every household in CA have a "tii project" in the garage? These just keep popping up, week after week. You all know what happened to lots of collectibles after eBay arrived: items, such as Hummel figurines, which were perceived as rare and valued in the hundreds of dollars, dropped to $30 and $40 when people realized just how many were manufactured! I'm beginning to believe that the survival rate of '02s, particularly in places such as CA, is far greater than we ever imagined. But, no, I don't actually believe the emergence of all these cars will render them worth a fraction of their peak values!

Regards,

Steve

Guilty as charged....I've had three 1974 tii projects in the last 15 years that I had to abandon due to a move, and loss of storage space.

 

Don't forget about the ever popular and expensive Beanie Babies!!!  (I hear they are making a comeback...get 'em while they're cheap!)

I thought at that price the photos were before shots , my son's car should bring $30,000 at that rate as it is rust free,in one piece, painted with new carpet & headliner installed ,a rebuilt front susp. & a 5 speed .

I'm on the hunt for one in a "California Garage". I'm sure after enough neighborhood searching it'll come my way.. Or maybe not.

You're not going to grab this beauty, Kevin? Maybe he'd let it go for $14,500!

I have a hard time believing he has "$20k invested". I don't believe the next buyer should have to pay for the guys mistake, he must have got the memo that 2002's average value at $20k and went from there.
