i don't see any pictures of the car

A 66 ? Post some pics.

That car is certainly worth restoring.

I had a 66, Vin#1507952. Now, I have a 67, Vin # 1520561.

 

Most 66 and 67 cars were either crushed or modified with later 02 parts.  Unfortunately, the BMW community had little respect for 1600-2s, especially the early 66-67 6V cars.

This is not an auction site........try Ebay or BAT, but, without detailed pictures you're peeing into the wind.

Good luck with that. I think the idea of a 66 1600 is worth more than what’s represented in those pictures. Try donating it back to BMW

The dashboard appears to be to a 66. It is the only year which had that unique badge which isn't just glued on , but is rather pinned through the reinforced dash pad. In addition the molding along the junction of the upper and lower dash pieces is chrome vs. purple or black. Only the 66 had that chrome molding. And, the dash appears to be free of cracks. If that is the case, the dash alone is worth perhaps $1,500 - $2,000, if not more. The Vin # may  also be worth that much, if the car isn't a rust bucket.

 

I'm impressed by the dash, though. I've only seen a few over the past 40 years.

 

I'm trying to figure out the original color of the car. Is it Bristol Grey ?

The dashboard has tear on top. But is repailable.

Original color is white, Chamonix.

The body has rust on back fenders, floors has originals without big holes(rare) and solid.

Boot is solid. Valances are hard too, but i dont know are those chanced?

So no so rusty.

And not missing (lot) parts.

Just the rare, expensive ones, grills, football windshield washer, round canister summer box, embossed nose trim?

That driver's side rear shock tower patch is concerning.

 

All in all, this would be a very expensive restoration if done correctly, but a very worthy project if you have the time and the money.

In fact, these parts can be found loose, although they are not in the picture.

 

Maybe the car is not for you if you don't have the money or the skills to restore it.

From the photos I’ve seen, the car was likely Chamonix with Navy (Marine) Blue cloth-and-vinyl interior. Particular to the very earliest 1966 1600-2’s, the backrests of the front seats have cloth inserts that spread, at the top of the backrest, to the full width of the seat.

 

The photo below, of VIN 1500086 — a Chamonix 1600-2 with Navy Blue cloth-and-vinyl interior — is borrowed from Anders’ ‘66 Bible on the U.K. forum. It shows the distinctive early ‘66 front seat upholstery.

 

My hope is that this car be restored, carefully and correctly.

 

Good luck with the sale,

 

Steve
