sports seats, and more!��Truly unbelievable, and very hard to�find
this road ready, let alone show-stopping! Call us today about
this�1974 BMW 2002tii Coupe that we have for sale. It is safe to
say that Bavarian Motor Werks was struggling in a vast automotive
marketplace offering only large luxury vehicles and motorcycles.
They would need to adapt to a mid-range vehicle to better position
themselves, and ultimately stay alive as a corporation. This led to
the introduction of the compact 02 Series which led to remarkable
worldwide success! Most popular would be the later generation
1972-1974 2002tii with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection,
Macpherson struts, larger calipers with ventilated disc brakes,
thicker front spindles, and high-flow performance exhaust manifolds
as enhanced equipment. With the 2002 platform providing 4-wheel
independent suspensions, massive visibility from the driver
position, low center of gravity, short wheelbase, and superb engine
performance offering 125 horsepower, they captured the hearts of
driver enthusiasts immediately! They literally saved BMW, making it
the successful automaker we all still know today. Unfortunately,
finding a quality 2002 today is very challenging, due to potential
rust and extreme driving tendencies by previous owners. This
no-expense-spared, fully restored example you are about to see is
about as perfect as you could ever expect! We are delighted to
offer this stunning 1974 BMW 2002tii Coupe that has been through a
very thorough 5-year long, nut-and-bolt restoration that began with
a very solid, California-sourced example from Rob Torres of 2002
Haus. His careful attention to detail and remarkable expertise in
the 2002 industry made for the perfect recipe to bring this example
to a pinnacle level! Finished in Colorado Orange with custom Tan
leather upholstery with superb Oatmeal textured carpeting! Options
include professionally rebuilt 1990cc Inline 4- MFI engine mated to
upgraded 5-speed overdrive manual transmission, 3.64:1 rear
differential, Recaro Sport seats, manual sunroof, upgraded Retro
Sound Motor 4 audio system in stock location, coco floor mats,
Nardi wood steering wheel, 13" alloy wheels, passenger vanity
mirror, and dual outside mirrors! 1974 BMW 2002tii Coupe
Restoration Beginning in late 2012, the restoration at 2002 Haus
would begin. It would be stripped of all mechanical components in
preparation for bodywork and repaint. Over 200 photographs are
provided to document it from start to finish. It is hard to express
the amount of time and energy that went into this outstanding
example! To be as gorgeous as possible, nearly 384 hours of
meticulous body sculpting resulted in a show-stopping $35,000 paint
job, along with a professionally refinished interior from the OEM
headliner to the soft leather seating surfaces inside. All new
suspension components with Bilstein shocks, all new braking system,
coolant system, complete exhaust system, upgraded Pertronix
ignition,�13" alloy wheels with correct BMW spare in the trunk, new
radial tires(5), wiring, all correct BMW embossed window glass,
weather stripping, interior sound deadening material for added
comfort, and so much more round out this BMW! Make no mistake about
bringing a vehicle to this level of restored detail and mechanical
perfection! All told, the restorer claims nearly $140,000 was spent
to ensure this car was more than just a faithful daily driver, but
a certain show winner at BMW events and enthusiast rallies!
Included with this exceptional 2002tii will be all original books &
manuals, several sets of correct BMW keys, service receipts, email
communication from Mr. Torres, paint and bodywork records, and over
200 pictures of the entire restoration. Also provided will be over
$500 in extra touring spares (drive belt, spark plugs, coil, oil
filters, etc.), along with several original components retained
after the car was fitted with correct OEM replacements. This
included original rear bumper, original radio, factory rear
taillight housing, factory wiper blades, and other small items
packaged for delivery inside the trunk. If you are looking for one
of the best 2002tii's on the market, look no further. Finished in
March 2018 with approximately 100 test miles on the engine, it is
virtually brand new in all respects. The restoring party has simply
other personal ventures in mind and would like to see this
passionately restored BMW go on to an appreciative home. They just
don't come to market very often any better than this, so act
quickly! See More Inventory | Download Our Car Auction App
