1973 BMW 2002tii- Inka Orange

[Schatzie]

Price: $8200

Location: Baltimore, Maryland

Description:

Here is the update- I am ready to sell and would like to complete this in a few weeks time. Nothing has changed from below,so please read. The ask price is $8,200 but I will sell for $7,000 if someone is willing to buy sight unseen. I will also throw in a few parts including some trim pieces if someone buys sight unseen.  I am not sure what I have but I’ll figure it out. I do believe I have original seats for it . If serious let me know. I will work with a buyer to get the deal done. Remember I am in Philadelphia and the car is in Baltimore. 

Ok-here is the story. I bought the car years ago to restore. My son used it for a few years then I put it in storage with the intent to restore. Now I live in the citywithout a garage and my lifestyle has changed. Fortunately a friend had space in his garage so the car stayed there for the past 5 years. He needs the space so the car needs to find a home with one who will restore it. There are two years of BMW 2002tii models I would recommend the 1972 and 1973. They are “roundies” and in either inka orange or taiga. They are colors that message the 1970s. This car had a partial restoration 10 years ago. It now is rough. It needs new chrome. The seats are recarro. I should have the originals. The usual problems are there and I suspect the fuel injection needs a rebuild. The car has not been started in years. Here are my thoughts. I will price to sell. If it doesn’t sell I will do a clean-up of it and get proper shots and go the Bring-a Trailer approach. The car is in Baltimore.”

UPDATE-Thank you one and all for your patience. I have not spoken to anyone nor has anyone seen the car. Here are few updates -The car is outside ofBaltimore and easy to get to. My friend who stored it for me is an automobile mechanic and has been for 40 years. He tells me the battery is dead. When he last drove it he concluded the fuel injection system may need a rebuild. As forrust he said it has light rust or surface rust but no major holes in areas such as the floor. As I have said before i have not seen it in years. It doesnt look terrible in the pics. I will try to respond to messages the same day.

are you suggesting the front nose was replaced? BMW group says the Vin# is for a tii! 

[thehackmechanic]

If it has a tii vin with a snorkel, yes the nose was replaced.

To me, it seems like you can see some welds to the right of the yellow sticker on the passenger side. Or is that my eyes?   Still a great car at any rate.

This is obviously a no-brainer.  It’s a 1972 tii, the 152nd U.S.-spec tii manufactured. Besides the VIN, the close-in bumpers, and the tall front overriders of a ‘72, it’s got no firewall notch — all correct. But...it’s also got aluminum intake runners, whereas it emerged from the factory with plastic intake runners. Have just the runners, intake manifold, and, possibly, head been swapped out, or has the entire original engine been swapped out. Bear this in mind. But however that question is answered, this is a no brainer.

 

And that snorkel disappears with the next re-paint!

Yes, there’s a post-factory line of welds at the aft end of the nosepiece’s upper flange, where it laps over the inner fender. Grind down those visible welds, remove the snorkel, and love your tii nose!

Steve, sorry for my ignorance but what is the firewall notch that is always discussed on a tii? I would like to know more about this if you have any photos to explain maybe?

Sight unseen.....so all I have to do is send you $7,000 in the mail and what, you’ll mail me back the keys and the title?  How do I know I’ll actually hear from you again once you (a complete stranger) has my money?  This seems fishy...

[jgerock]

I just PM'd the seller, requesting an inspection of the car (in Baltimore).   I'm curious about this car.

 

What do you say @Guest_anonymous??
