1975 2002 - Granatrot Metallic with Sunroof

Location: San Carlos, CA


Description:

Hi all -- 

 

My ex-wife got the '75 2002, I got the '16 Miata. She suggested this as the totally practical (and Ok, advantageous-to-me financial) solution, and I couldn't turn her down. 

 

I promised to help her sell it.

 

So here we are. It's been up on Craigslist locally, and it was at Brisbane, where I talked with a number of folks, including one who'd regretted buying another instead -- he said he was already deeper into the one he bought and it wasn't nearly as nice. Now it has to go, as my Ex is in contract on a house and needs the funds. It's also time, since it's the last thing to finalize the divorce settlement.

 

This car is really original, unmolested. I bought it in Tennessee back in ’16, had a bunch of work done in Charlotte, NC, and then moved it to the Bay Area, where I live in San Carlos.

 

I would have loved to do the projects that it deserves. 

 

It was titled in Western North Carolina for most of its life.

 

It’s in rare colors -- Granatrot Metallic over grey interior. 

 

I had floor pans replaced, rust repairs done on wheel wells (both rear, and drivers front, including pedal box). 

 

It runs Ok, but the top end needs attention.

 

Transmission and clutch are in good shape.

 

Working sunroof. Pretty excellent dash. Very original interior in good condition, unmolested door cards, original carpeting. Windows all operate, recent windshield replacement (previous owner). Recent bluetooth stereo head unit, original console face included. Paint job is an Ok respray. It's a pretty good 10 footer.

 

Working ODO shows around 67000 miles; true mileage unknown. Clean CA title. Emissions exempt.

 

Weber 32/36 carburetor, capacitive discharge ignition. Good tires on period-correct Momo wheels.

 

Includes carcovers.com platinum car cover, BMW Classic license plate frames (unopened).

 

Highlights of the work done at Touring Car in Charlotte, NC in 2016 before bringing the car to the west coast:

 

* rebuild brakes
    * rotors, pads, lines
* suspension rebuild
    * bushings F and R
* new giubo (center bearing)
* shifter rebuild
* rust repairs on floor pans, pedal box, rear shock towers
* front seats restuffed

 

Receipt for this work is in the photos.

I gotta say that the gray interior is super rare (at least in the U.S,), super cool, and what the factory intended for the Granatrot metallic exterior (photo below of color concordance from 1975-76 color and upholstery brochure). Virtually all U.S. examples, however, received black or tan interiors.

 

GLWS,

 

Steve

Hi all — 

 

Reposting this to sell again, divorce all cleared except I am selling this car on behalf of my Ex — it’s her birthday this week, and I’d like to give her the proceeds on the sale of her car as a gift ?

 

Been driving it around on nice days, and brought it to Brisbane, where you might’ve seen it.

 

Asking $12500.

 

Cheers!
Marc

Hi all — wanted to put this in front of everyone again — it’s still around, but I’m driving it to my ex’s place in Daly City on Friday, where she’s gonna look into moving it.

Respectable offers are especially interesting right now!

Cheers -
Marc

    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
