What's really interesting is that it's already being resold this car was at a dealers auction recently in Fremont Ca. It's a small world and everybody's jumping on the Bmw classic wagon. Let's keep tally of how many places resell it. Tally #1 Edgar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you all that responded...

Your comments made all the difference. I needed someone to snap me out my "If I don't buy it from the stealer it isn't the right part" mindset. A little effort and the best part is I spent pennies. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for all of your help sincerely, I located the correct seal from the dealer and a workable bearing from taking measurements and matching at the auto parts store. The bearing is from a trailer hitch [emoji23] and is a direct match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My May 67 has a remote booster and single circuit system. Visually the spindle seems smaller haven't compared side by side. So my questions are: is there a unique inner front bearing and seal? The replacement skf units I bought seem to not be the correct piece side by side to the old ones. In my searches I stumbled over a few comments on the early inner bearing being unique. This link: https://www.bmw2002faq.com/forums/topic/125815-1600-suspension-question/ I looked up a part number but comes NLA. The superseded number claims to cover all year 67-76. Thank you in advance all help is highly appreciated. Edgar

Sold my old my beloved squaretail to jump on the chance to pickup my new project, thought I had every piece to restore another car from what i had accumulated over the years but had a rude awakening when I found out this early car is a different animal. It is a solid example only showing a quarter size rust hole in the spare wheel well and some light patina on the body. All seams look good am excited to start with such a clean shell, I do believe the major factor of preservation here was the lack of sunroof among others. Complete opposite of my cancer ridden 02 that did have one and caused me years of turmoil (8) through all drainage points and seams... Back to dear Sahara, This is what I got back from bmw archives: Dear Mr L,Thank you for your email.The BMW 1600 VIN 1524947 was manufactured on May 11th, 1967 and delivered on June 05th, 1967 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original colour was Sahara, paint code 006.We hope this information is helpful for you.Yours sincerely,Julia Oberndörfer-- BMW GroupJulia OberndörferArchiv, Sammlung, Classic Brand Management AK-50Historischer InformationsdienstMoosacher Straße 6680809 München This car does not have the original drivetrain :cry: and instead has been outfitted with front and rear 02 sub frames,rear 230mm drums, e12 head engine overkill sway bars, suspension techniques springs and Bilsteins... ok so it's a bitter sweet deal. Interior is a mix of old and new... late model dash but early euro shifter console and platform assembly, late seats but early slider mechanism, late door cards but early door handles. Body as well, late model nose trim but early swan mirror, euro trim early grills and signals. It does however retain its original remote booster single circuit brake system and original mechanical clutch system which I am preserving. Plans are to get her roadworthy and slowly start to accumulate some more original bits. Got a few questions so far. More on the car and my plans later. For now some starter pics...
