Now Paul, we know that washing it, re-assembling it will take you longer than getting that engine running. We will be generous and give you a week to finish it. That will lgive you two months to title and register it before the Vintage

Oh, shoot, Paul!  Lightening strikes twice!

 

May I follow you around and collect your discards?  ?

 

Congratulations.  I'm lovin' it!

 

Best regards,

I wish I could help you wash it.

That's going to be fun.

     DISCLAIMER -- I now disagree with much of the timing advice I have given in the past.  I misinterpreted the distributor curves in the Blue Book as timing maps for our engines.  I've also switched from using ported-vacuum to manifold, with better results.  I apologize for spreading misinformation.

Marshall - The owner was put in touch with me, via the BMW CCA (he's an old schooler... prefers not to mess on the internet) in order to establish a value for the car. I was completely honest with him and told him what I thought it would be worth, realistically....and that I couldn't afford that much - but that I'd love to save it. Over the following few days, he and I worked out a price that seems quite fair to both of us. He's a super good human - and we got along well. As you know...in such things, chemistry is always half of it.

But Wayne would be saying something like "it's one of one".  Too many commercials and "here's what's next on xxx show" even during the airing of the same show on the Velocity Channel.

    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
