‘74 Golf (?) 2002 Tii Project

Recommended Posts

And who doesn’t love a project? Fairly ambitious on the price for a rusty ‘74 tii that doesn’t currently run or drive. Always worth looking, however, but that rust peaking out next to the stamped chassis VIN on the right inner fender is concerning. If that rust is coming through the inner fender, and didn’t originate as exterior surface rust, you could be looking at one very rusty car!

 

Regards,

Im not seeing a cowl notch and therefore all that damage caused by trying to install a tii engine on a carb body??? I'm just guessing from the looks of the photos. Also, no original VIN plate from what looks like. Again, my guesses. 


Here’s what I’m seeing: everyone sees something different. There is a cowl notch (green circle in first photo) with serious damage done to the firewall top flange on both sides of the notch (red circles in first photo). There are two tii airbox brackets on the left inner fender (blue circles in first photo), the rear one having been bent backwards against the inner fender.

 

The stamped chassis VIN on the right inner fender looks correct, albeit painted over as part of an amazingly bad paint job (second photo). The riveted-on VIN tag on the right front inner fender also looks correct, albeit in poor condition (third photo).

 

I’m not having a problem believing this is an authentic tii.

 

Best 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
