74 Tii 2781168 For Sale

[Danz3]

Price: $27

Location: Pittsburgh PA

Description:

Selling my 1974 Tii 2781168 all numbers matching car.  The car was purchased from  the original owner in 2013.  I have service history from new including all service stickers from the BMW dealer through all the parts I have added over the past 6 years.  The car is in its original Riviera color but was repainted in 1996.  I have done much to preserve the car.  Front and rear suspension has been updated, front brake calipers rebuilt, rear brakes updated with new backing plates, cylinders, shoes and drums.  New master and slave cylinder with SS hose.  The interior was refreshed with new carpets and everything else cleaned and refreshed.  The dash shows no cracks.  The car is mechanically ready to drive anywhere at anytime.  The motor was professionally rebuilt in 1994 at 89K miles, receipts included.  The current mileage is about 125K so the motor has about 36K on the rebuild.  All hoses, electrics replaced and the distributor rebuilt/recurved by Advanced Distributors in 2019, O2 sensor added in 2019 so the car is properly tuned.  New rear seals in the transmission, guibo with BMW hardware in 2019.  The paint shows well and the trim is generally good.  There are defiantly some blemishes that are present but it adds to the patina.  People mistake the car as original paint etc.  Things that still need done; door seals, clock repair (ran for 6 years after I repaired but now has stopped), windshield (some delamination in corners).  Hagerty "good" valuation is $27.6K so I'm looking to sell near that price but am open to reasonable offers.  If you are in the Pittsburgh area the car will be at the Vintage Gran Prix July 20-21.  I would like the car to go to an enthusiast and I'm hoping to sell locally but will consider working with any buyer.

Very nice car.    I'm guessing you will get a lot of interest at the PVGP next weekend.

New to the forum, but wanted to say that’s a beautiful car. I’m a Pittsburgh resident so I’ll be sure to stop by at the PVGP, maybe even talk some numbers. Will this be on display Tomorrow in Shadyside?

Update. I think I have a buyer for the car. Unfortunately he’s in California and I’m in Pennsylvania. I had a PPI done here locally and he’s satisfied that the car is as described. Any advise on a safe way to complete the transaction?

you will want payment in full before the car leaves your garage!

 

Looks like a great car and based on the pics and write up, the hope to be new owner got a great deal

I'm in California and sold my last car to a FAQ member in Arkansas. He simply wired the money to my account after we agreed on the selling price. I then sent him his portion of the title to fill out, taking a picture of it as well as the receipt from the post office for him so he could have some peace of mind while he waited for the car.

 

As this was all going to be done remotely, I provided him with as much information and pictures upfront as well as the contact info for the shop (Motorspeed West) that serviced it when I couldn't and also Bart at the Resto Shop who did some minor body work for me. I suppose in essence those were both PPI's as those folks were very familiar with the car and are well-known and respected in the community.

 

After all that the new owner simply contacted a transport company that in turn contacted me and gave me a pretty firm date as to when they would show up and pick up the car.

 

Very straightforward and easy transaction even though it was all done remotely. After the new owner received the car, we spoke and it was everything that he hoped it would be!
