Price: $8500
Location: Tupelo,MS near Memphis, TN


Description:

1972 California clean roller - I have a California clean 1972 Malaga shell with everything but the running gear - sans: engine, transmission, drive-train, diff. and half shafts.  Look closely at the photos, and I have tons more at your request, this is the cleanest body I have seen in a very long time, spent most of its years in WA and CA.  It is a roller and is steerable and can be stopped by the e-brake, has some nice features, dual flag mirrors, good waist trim, shinny and serviceable paint, KYB suspension, recent new rubber on Alpine look alike wheels from an e30 - you could build from here.  Has a drivers seat, but no passenger seat, saddle interior doors and quarters and rear seat, dirty old carpet.  Have registration and title in hand to put back on the road.  Yes, could part out but don't have the time or patience, so for now it is a whole shell for sale.

Motor and trans are being rebuilt, motor didn't have oil pressure, who knows for how long, and low compression so it is being rebuilt and will go in another car.  

Thanks for the reply.

As the Malaga car looks decent it would be a shame not to put the rebuilt motor back in it, assuming, of course, it is matching numbers.

Because I'm a masochist I'm tempted by this. I just bought a '69 2002 with a rusty body, dual Weber sidedraft engine of unknown condition, and an incredibly preserved saddle interior. Between this and that, there would be one very nice car.

 

I agree, though, shame not to put the original engine back in this one. People care about such things these days.

    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
