FOR Sale: 1974 BMW 2002, Polaris.
Daily driver for the past 8 years – certainly not a concours competitor but has been maintained and cared for. Interior needs work (see below – I have all missing trim pieces) – rear seat has been deleted (cover was too far gone to attempt to save).
Much of the work needed is cosmetic – there is a transmission issue that should be addressed sooner rather than later (see below)
The good:
1. Solid body everywhere
2. New tie rods, bushings, and control arm. Stainless Ireland exhaust; re-cored radiator and new thermostat, water pump, coil and Ireland distributor installed
3. 5 spd transmission w/ limited slip diff and oversized front brakes. Upgraded short throw shift kit
4. sound deadening throughout interior of car
5. working sunroof, crack free dash
6. current VA safety inspection
7. Rear seal, guibo refreshed. Stainless steel brake lines installed
Needs additional work:
1. Pilot bearing in transmission may need replacing
2. Front seats need to be covered or reupholstered; interior trim needs to be installed (I have these in a box)
3. Struts and shocks could/should be replaced ? Not really sure but I have replacements
4. Driving lights need to be wired in
5. Bumpers need to be bolted in and covers and corners need to be reinstalled (I have those)
6. Fan motor needs to be adjusted so it doesn’t rattle when operating
7. Dash underpanels need to be installed (I have those)
8. Should replace sunroof seals (I have those)
9. Fender reflectors need to be reinstalled (have those)
II'm sure there are some other things that I've missed and I'm sure that forum members in the DMV will chime in. In any case, you can reach me at bmw20024sale@yahoo.com or thru this forum or via text. Pics are sitting in Dropbox - let me know and I'll send you the link.
