They never made Tii's in '76 last one was '74

Someone should tell this seller that he can get in trouble for claiming it is a Tii when it is just '76 with a Tii motor.

""No Sir, BMW Vin Decoder shows that this vehicle was sold in November of 75. It was manufactured in September of 75 which technically makes it a 76 model. I know that BMW Stopped making the Tii's in 1974, but they were sold all the way up to Jan of 76. This vehicle has been verified with BMW to be a Tii. Thank you for your interest. SDCARMART""

i wonder how was it was verified with BMW...

I also note that the front nose panel (clip) has either been replaced with a non-Tii one, or that the car cannot be a real Tii. And the mounting brackets for the air cannister are not original. It's hard to tell from the photos, but there seems to be a few other visual clues that the car is a non-Tii one with an engine transplant and a Tii badge added on the rear.

The write-up states that the car has never been restored or touched, yet it obviously has numerous mods. I'm not convinced that the paint is original.

Caveat emptor...
