Vehicle History:

The car was purchased new in 1972 in Sacramento, California.  It had spent its entire life there before restoration.  It was driven until approximately 1990 by the original owner and then stored for over 20 years under cover in his garage.

 

In 2011, the car was purchased by an independent BMW repair shop in the Sacramento area where the major mechanical restoration was done.  I purchased the car in June 2012 from the repair shop.  The remaining mechanical and cosmetic restoration has been completed since then.

 

The mileage of 74,204 at the start of restoration is claimed to be original by the repair shop owner, but could not be verified.  However, the condition of the body, original paint and undercarriage support this claimed mileage. The car has approximately 900 miles since engine rebuild.  

 

Documentation:

Detailed records of all restoration work since 2011 are included.  New BMW OEM owner’s manual.  The car has a clear title (Colorado) and is ready for immediate sale.

 

Location:

The car is located in Boulder, Colorado and available for viewing, test drive and/or pre-purchase inspection.

 

Additional and high-resolution pictures available on request.

I am travelling to Denver today, and I thought I would check the FAQ to see if anything had come up in Colorado. I saw "Boulder". I saw "Inka". I saw "Tii". I saw "1972" and my heart raced. And then it sank, deep, deep down upon realizing just how far that beautiful car is out of my league.

 

Good luck with the sale!

That's an early one, too.  Very cool!  GLWS!

I'd estimate March '72 -- based on my tii VIN cheat sheet.

The car was also on eBay and I noticed that the auction had ended.  I had communicated with the seller about the car prior to finding one local here in the Bay Area, but it seemed very nice.  Ryan Gangemi did the engine rebuild and was the indie mechanic who sold the car to the current seller.  Aside from the headliner, seats and steering wheel (original seats & wheel are included per the ad), it's a very nice, original tii.  Whomever ends up with it will likely be very happy.

Thanks for all the interest in my car.  I currently have a deposit from an eBay buyer, but if the sale does not close (by June 24), the car will be relisted.
