1973 BMW 2002 Tii - Restored, Sunroof, Factory Behr AC, 5-Speed, AACA Winner

Description for BMW 2002 1973

The BMW 2002 on offer here. chassis 2763507. is a genuine 1973 Tii model -- the last year for the elegant. more desirable chrome bumpers and celebrated round taillights. It was built on February 22. 1973 and delivered to Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York. one of the approximately 1. 00 Tii models produced that year. Little is known about the ownership history of this 2002 before it ended up in Puerto Rico in 2008. While previous owners reported it lived in the Southern United States. documentation doesn't currently exist to support the claim. Nevertheless. pictures show this matching-numbers example as a solid. excellent candidate for the restoration that would soon come. This thorough restoration was carried out over approximately 12 months and was documented in pictures and with loads (and loads) of receipts. Following its restoration. chassis 2763507 was entered in an Antique Automobile Club of America event on March 12. 2011. Supporting the quality of the restoration. this 2002 Tii scored 378 points out of 400. well above the minimum 365 points needed for a National First Prize. The judging sheet (see below) showed two 'major' reductions - five points for an incorrect battery and six points for incorrect hose clamps. Notably. the 2002 has been retrofitted with a 5-speed from a later E21 320i BMW. a popular choice that brings more driving flexibility and much better highway performance. We purchased 2763507 in 2013 from a Sports Car Digest reader. The gutsy and always-reliable Tii does everything we've asked. whether daily driving it (from garage to garage). getting tons of approving looks at the local Cars and Coffee or entering it in the 2014 Pinehurst Concours d'Elegance. We currently have way too many projects at Sports Car Digest. so the time has come to bring it to market. Our 1973 BMW 2002 Tii has a very realistic reserve if we do say so ourselves. It is located at our climate-controlled garage in Charlotte. NC. Pre-purchase inspections are strongly encouraged. Vehicle is sold as-is and seller makes no warranties about the condition of the car. We will happily assist with shipping worldwide. 1973 BMW 2002 Tii Chassis 2763507 Highlights: Matching-numbers engine Fully restored in 2010-11 Fully rebuilt mechanicals Baikal Blue exterior and Tan interior Factory Behr air conditioning Sunroof model (Hagerty adds 15% to value for sunroof) 5-speed transmission from E21 320i Hella H4 headlamps Becker Europa radio with rear speakers AACA National First Prize Winner in 2011 Pinehurst Concours d'Elegance participant in 2014 Documentation and parts include: Full heater box (not currently installed) Complete toolkit with correct BMW Heyco tools and roll Complete lifting jack kit Spare tire on steel rim Two sets of keys Four(!) owner's handbooks. including one USA version BMW service booklet and pouch BMW 2002 marketing booklet Haynes 1602/2002 repair manual Blue Natural Cocomats (complete set of 4) Wood-rimmed Momo steering wheel Bavarian Autosport 'Ultimate' 2002 car cover 1973 BMW 2002 Tii Chassis 2763507 - Photo Gallery: (For many more and larger pictures. please visit 1973 BMW 2002 Tii Listing).
