Original '69 Granada

Recommended Posts

Price: $8500
Location: Hudson, NH


Description:

Hey everyone, 

 

I came very close to buying this car and driving it back to Atlanta but bowed out due to the seller not being completely clear/honest about the amount of rust it has.  That being said, I still think it's a great deal so I figured I'd post it here because I know someone will bite.  No relation to the seller. 

 

His listing on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/475624773265656/

 

His description: "I have for sale a 1969 BMW 2002, all original car from california. no rust at all. 4 speed manual. Runs and drives great just don't use it enough. feel free to message me $8,500 car is located in hudson new hampshire"

 

Other things of note he told me:

  • VIN 1663246
  • Full documentation from the first owner
  • No compression numbers
  • Odometer non-functional
  • Rust at pedal box is just surface and can't be poked through with a screw driver

 

I passed because he initially was saying no rust, but clearly there's some present underneath the windshield and at the pedal box.  No telling where else the seller is avoiding showing.  Anyways, photos and a video of it running are below.  I've added the car to the registry, for the record.

This is, in general, an early 2002: it’s an early 1969 model, manufactured in September 1968.  Definitely worth checking out.

 

Although it is a 1969 model, note that it only meets the standards established for January 1, 1968, not those established for January 1, 1969 — thus, no headrests, sidemarkers, etc.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

    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
