NO SMOG REQUIRED!!! These round taillight BMW's are becoming harder and harder to find, especially non-modified. 1969 was always one of my favorite year cars for almost any brand, but especially BMW. This model has the flush turn signals, the motors were built without all the smog BS, has the small bumpers and they just always seemed to run stronger than the later motors. It does have a Weber Carburator and an aftermarket air cleaner. Battery has been relocated to trunk but other than that it is original. The interior front and back seats have been replaced with period correct seats. They are a blue instead of black that actually matches the cars Atlantik paint better. It has a nice patina on the re-spray with the factory color, it looks like it was re-sprayed a while back.

 The title unfortunately is a Salvage Title. Where this normally might raise some questions or scare some people away, I could not find any major damage to this care. I have had it looked at by an independent BMW shop and put it on a lift to look for where the damage was. The frame looks unaffected. These cars did not hold value that much through the 90's and a simple fender bender would total it. I think the minor damage was below the front bumper. All has been professionally fixed to high standards. The motor is still the original numbers matching, please see pics. I would suggest you don't take my word for it but feel free to come view this car prior to purchase to ease any concerns regarding the Salvage Title. This will not affect you too much other than resale. If you are not planning on reselling and will be enjoying this beauty yourself, as long as you feel comfortable with the work then you are good to go. Any major damage would have affected sub frame and definitely not allowed the original motor to survive and still run strong. It runs and shifts though all the gears fine. Will need rear brakes soon, you can drive it home anywhere in LA or Orange County and feel comfortable. I am hoping whoever buys this keeps it original. Just rebuild the motor down the road and keep the mechanicals up. As you can see from the pictures everything is there. Badges, trim, hub caps, dash only has one small crack on lower portion, original steering wheel, just a cool example of how these came off the factory floor in Germany in the late sixties. Will qualify for a Black Plate but I do not have original. This belonged to a Published Author and I had intentions of restoring myself but two other projects got in the way and parking it is getting to be a problem.

I have set a very low reserve so please bid with confidence. I have the title in hand. I think it is very reasonable considering the circumstances. This will be a fun project for somebody. Restored bone stock 2002's are going north of $20,000 now and are getting more respect and comments than the modified 2002's which have been done to death with almost every mod thinkable. It is nice to see these untouched still. Has surface rust in areas, all the shock towers and all that are in good shape, just the underside where the spare was is pretty much gone. True milage is unknown, it shows around 80,000. It could be original, doubt it, could be 180,000+ or 280,000+. Either way you have the original block that is still driving to this day, so please rebuild this original motor when you decide to do something like that and DO NOT OPT for a SWAP.
