Interior is mint, and I mean MINT. It could use a good clean to be perfect but it"s all there and in amazing condition. No cracks in the dash and everything is original down to the Blaupunkt Radio which works usually but not always.
Heater works great. A/C is not hooked up but all the A/C parts are included other than the evaporator which I do not have. Front doors are clean with no rust. Back doors are also solid but do have a few rust spots. Included with the sale is 4 solid spare doors.
The only other rust on the car is in the front corner of the driver"s floor from the car being improperly lifted at some point, bending the floor and causing it to rust. It"s about a quarter sized hole. Otherwise, this car is SOLID.
This car sat from the early 90"s when it was in a minor collision back then and sat half repaired until I bought it in 2017. The front core support and hood were replaced with parts from a 1974 Bavaria which is why this car has the later front bumper mounts and the hood is Plasti-Dipped. The hood is still white underneath.
I do have the 1972 front bumper but personally, I think it looks much better without it. The windshield was smashed when I bought the car and I had it replaced with an original windshield and brand new seal straight from BMW. Despite this, the guy that installed it did not do a good job. It"s in there, and it"s sealed, but it"s not pretty. I"ve had plans to have it redone but haven"t had a chance.
You may have noticed the front turn signals are missing. Despite the tons of extra parts that are included with this car, I only have one turn signal housing and no lenses. Turns out they"re really hard to find for a reasonable price so I"m still looking. In the mean time I threw some amber LED"s in the bumper mounting holes so at least there"s something for front turn signals.
Also missing is the radiator fan, I have the fan but can"t locate the right clutch to mount it to the water pump pully. However with the massive aluminum radiator this thing hardly needs a fan. I"ve had this thing in traffic in 90 degree heat and it still doesn"t overheat. There is an electric fan on the front of the radiator that"s meant to blow on the A/C condenser. If the temperature does start to creep up in traffic, I just turn the A/C knob in the car which kicks that fan on and easily keeps the car from overheating.
Also included is TONS of parts. I"m talking like a small U-Haul Load of parts. I have a spare engine, transmission, automatic transmission, doors, trunk lid, gas tank, another dash, tons of exterior trim, including the trim missing on the car, and just bins and bins full of Bavaria pars.
This car is in great shape and I wouldn"t hesitate to drive it across the country right now. These things are really starting to go for big bucks. If this car didn"t have previous accident damage, I think it would be closer to a $20k car. But because it still needs a few things and it was in an accident at one point, I"m only asking $11k.
Selling to fund my 1973 BMW 2002 Project and help me buy a house.
