I hate to be separated from it before finishing the project. However, I have been offered the opportunity to purchase the Porsche I was raised in, so I have to move on. It is the only reason I am selling the car. I have loved this car and taken the best care of it that I can. For the last 6 years I have focused entirely on the mechanical aspects of the car, believing that an unattractive car that runs well is better than a pretty car that doesn’t. Oil was changed every 6 months no matter the mileage In 2011, I purchased the car from Greg Winter of Auburn, California, Since then, it has resided with me in San Francisco, always garaged. I have very little documentation for the car prior to my ownership. I have full service logs and parts list for the vehicle which can be found at the above links. Most work was done by myself or Sean Casey and Tom Jones at Sean Casey Motorsports. The car drives very well with a completely rebuilt suspension (new rubber all around, re-powdercoated parts, strengthened front subframe, new HR springs and Bilstein shocks). The drivetrain has been kept stock and aggressively maintained/replaced. The brakes are very strong with stock Tii’s up front and a rear disc conversion from Aardvark racing in the back. Wheels are painted E30 steelies wrapped in fresh Dunlop Direzza ZII’s. Build date (from Hoffman Motors in New York, NY): The BMW 2002 tii US VIN 2782636 was manufactured on July 31st, 1974 and delivered on August 22nd, 1974 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City.
