1967 BMW 1600 on eBay

[Milo]

Similar un-restored, but solid early 1600s have sold in the $20k - $25K range. It wouldn't take much to sort this one out. I'm suspecting the reserve on the auction was set at about $20K. Thirty years ago this car wouldn't fetch more than about $1,600, but a $1,000 would have been more realistic given it needs some attention. For some of you folks with deeper pockets, this is a great deal You'll pay a lot more for a Porsche 356 or 912. This hobby has changed. It's for a different group, now-days.

This looks like a nice unmolested car. I’m surprised it didn’t sell for the reserve price. I guess timing is everything. Remember this Schwartz 67 from BAT several years ago?

Early cars in such unmolested condition are really rare. BMW owners just couldn't help themselves with so called "Upgrades". I can understand throwing on beefy sway bars and slightly stiffer and lower shocks, but many owners threw in 2.0L engines, installed later seats, converted to 12V electrical etc, ruining the character and the clean lines of the 1600 in the process. This Schwartz car would have sold for about $1,500 or less back during the 80s. There were many around. Most ended up at the wrecking yards.

Car just sold this week and will be missed...  Thanks to everyone for your observations and comments.  Regards, Komrade

What state is it headed to, and is there a chance the new owner will share any adventures here in the 2002FAQ?

My brother left this 1967 1600 behind when passing away in November. Out of all his 2002's I think his 1600 was his baby. She is a beauty.

Gorgeous!  Over the years your brother helped me on both my 1600 Bristol and my incoming Tii that replaced it...  I was in his shop in late September 2021 and saw his Alpina and other 2002.  He was a generous and funny guy.  RIP Danny

@coloincaalpine RIP 2021, that is an absolutely beautiful car, a real stunner.  Looks like schwarz, my favorite color.  Would love to see more pics.

Dan seemed like a really nice guy and is missed here.  Dan sent me that same picture of his 1600 during a brief correspondence we had after I replied to a classified ad he placed for a early owners manual "FREE" for the cost of shipping. Lucky for me I was the  first to reply and won the owners manual. He was a generous man.
