69 '02 on EBay

I'd be interested in any comments people here have on this 1600/2002 on Ebay. It's a nice looking car (with the cool pre-'71 instrument cluster). The bubbles on the doors give me some pause, though:

Big warning signs. No pictures of rockers or jack points. Major rust in doors. Thats bondo the bubbles are coming out of. If you have rust in doors your guaranteed of rocker rot. Maaco makes everything look good for a short time.

the work that's been performed since the car got to TX - I'd contact Terry's shop for background on the car (Terry's one of the best known vintage BMW guys in the country, and should be able to give you an objective rundown on the car's condition and value)

not a bad car for $1,800.oo

" Q: could it handle a long trip from austin

to houston? or will it have to be shipped only?

A: I certainly think so. Though I've never driven

it that far the original owner has told me they

used to take it over the Cascade mountains

to eastern Washington camping

regularly (with a canoe on top!). " ???????

geeee , when you buy a 2002 ,

wouldn't you like to be able to drive it out of the yard ?

how many miles is it from austin to houston ?
