1968 BMW 1600 Sold in Beverly Hills

[jgerock]

“just rolled in”

 

Customer states they have an alignment problem. Look at that center tie bar.

Customer states the exhaust is noisy.  The resonator rusted off the car.

Customer really wanted a case of PBlaster with the car.  Or a cutting torch.

Yeah, when you see through the sills and the wheels point in different directions, then its a great opportunity....

…to look for another car.

From the looks of the lower control arms, I’m wondering if this car did some off-roading.

 

Or perhaps the car was dragged from it’s resting spot using a chain on the steering arms.

[jgerock]

Wonder who ended up buying this?   Mr. Danco??

[OriginalOwner]

Hey, in the seller's defense:   the front rims looked OK to me !!!!

 

Cheers,

I was thinking this car was jumped Dukes of Hazzard style.

 

Or it was picked up by a forklift from the front when it was dropped off at the junkyard that it should have stayed in.

Their street address is no where near Beverly Hills, more like straight out of Compton

My old 2000CA ended up there. It was missing the motor and the lights. Twenty years ago I gave it away FREE to an enthusiast . And, it ended up at this dealership a couple of years ago where they were asking between $7 - $10K for it. It had a really clean front grille.  I'm tired of all the BS associated with this hype and jingoism, for God's sake !

 

There is an idiot (Marcus Walker) in Downtown LA who's advertised and sold Porsche 912s in similar rusty condition for $30K. His background is in fashion and the garment industry where marketing is everything. 

 

Walker set up shop in a large Downtown loft space of the so called "Artist District". Thirty years ago you can rent 5,000 sq, ft of loft space for a mere $900 / month. Now, that same space will cost you $15K - $20K / month. We used to pool our money together and rent the large spaces for next to nothing. After the Tech Yuppies  and .com idiots came in, the prices skyrocketed. It's all Yuppies now. 

You're a saint! But not nice to say not so nice things about people behind their backs online. California is a desirable place for many, those that want to be here make do to be able to be here. If not, then on to another state or country

Wasn't there this grest expression "there is a sucker born every minute..." someone just might buy it out of ignorance, but selling it for that money is kind of malicious. Their ads show up in Europe on some online sites, a lot is expensive and unviable.

I have no problem calling anybody out who is marketing and selling heaps of rust for $30K+. (There are people who will attempt to sell their own crap after presenting it in a fancy wrapper). I have no problem calling these people  out in person.  I have a long toilet scroll list of all the melon vendors, supported with specific examples, that I've came across in the 02 community and elsewhere over the past 40 years. It's my little "Black Book".  

 

Perhaps, I should write a book. It's not just the 02 community. You'd be surprised what I have witnessed over the years in this town. 

 

I've also spent the majority of my life in this town, state and country where I personally witnessed the demographic and socio-economic changes described above. And, now, you're suggesting if I don't like it, I should leave. No ! I'm not leaving. I''m speaking out. And, I'm not going to stop, even if you cut out my tongue. 

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure why you called Magnus (not Marcus) Walker an idiot on this forum, but if you say you will say it to him in person, good on ya, then! I've witnessed the same shit as you as a 4th generation Californian and I'm long over it. Stay sweet!
