It may be your intention, but this sort of "I'll buy anything" approach opens you up to cars ranging, generally, from $500 to $50,000, and needing, generally, from $100,000 to $0 in work, depending on your goals. And if that's your range, great! But, in all honesty, some potential sellers will see this and say, "This guy hasn't a clue what he's looking for. Why should I waste my time?"

If you're getting useful texts regarding cars you will seriously consider, fabulous. Ignore my post. But if you're not getting texts, or you're getting texts and having to repeatedly respond, "No thanks, that's not what I'm looking for", I'd recommend you spend some additional time perusing the car/project blogs on this website, along with the for sale ads, and perhaps narrowing your request range.

And there are some excellent restoration guides, frequently referenced in this forum, that provide a great deal of information about the cars and their restoration. The internal search function is your friend.

Good luck and regards,

Steve

Shouldn't this be signed "Conserv Classic"?

Depending on the condition of the car you are looking for and where you are located, the truly good finds are going to be a result of his/her own legwork. The best cars sell fast- I once responded to a 1-hour old craigslist ad for an incredible barn find in MN only to find the car sold 20 minutes after being listed. The above suggestion is legit btw, just about every component, problem and topic for this simple car has been covered on this forum. You will get out of it what you put in it.

Someone posted an interesting question in the General FAQ section asking where to find the perfect 10/10 car. A lot of great replies there.

    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
