 I am selling my project because I simply don't have the space and time. I specifically purchased both of these vehicles to tailor a very cool car, one car is in mechanically good shape with thousands of dollars invested in the mechanics; about $4,000 in 2001 and an additional $1,700 in 2012. I have a video of the 1968 running on youtube which I am working on making visible. The vehicle has some rare parts including the rare shorty bumper and Euro lights and just those two parts would sell for close to $2,000 alone. The 1974 runs and is an automatic with a straight body and I was going to transfer the engine into the 1974 along with the exterior parts and make it a roundie. The 1974 has bilstin shocks and a nice interior. My intention which can be done by the purchaser is to finance the project by selling the parts you don't need such as the interior, dash, metal and so on. The 1974 will need its driver side base boards replaced but I have a contact in Colorado who has a complete undercarriage ready to sell for $500 that will fit the car. The 1974 apparently has less than 67,000 original miles but the undercarriage I would replace with the contact in Colorado who can take car of you. I have also found a rear roundie metal if you want to convert the 74 to make a roundie. The smart thing about this purchase is you can tailor the car you want and sell off the parts you don't need and it will turn into a rather inexpensive project because the parts are worth quite a bit, the automatic transmission for example would sell for $300 and the bumpers would sell for an additional $300 so you can see how the project can self fund itself and you could even purchase both cars to simply make a profit by parting them out and making a considerable amount more that the reserve price. The shipping will also be cheaper as you can get a great discount and getting both vehicles shipped which should cost you about $300-$400.

A few things to note: do not ask if I will sell one of the vehicles or ask if I am interested in selling a part. Also, please don't ask the reserve price.  I am only interested in selling both vehicles at once to one party. My reserve price is very reasonable and I could make quite a bit more if I had the time and space available. The 68 runs very well and would look great if the cover was replaced for about $70 but other than that the motor runs well and so does the transmission on both cars. The wheels on the 1974 are very sharp and would look great if they are cleaned up a bit and the headliner and interior is in pretty good shape. I don't really need to explain what you can do and how much money you can make if you are the type of buyer who would buy these cars, you already know what you have in mind but feel free to give me any questions.

Thanks and good luck

 In addition, the 68 has a trunk full of parts. I am going to throw in likely several hundred dollars worth of parts. I have new belts, rubberized stripping for the doors, brand new set of spark plugs, I have shocks, I even have some parts that are still in plastic, brand new blue coil from a MSD Package...I have owned several 2002 's and one had performance parts so they are not related but I have some Dual Spark Package Parts. Performance Spark Plug Wire Set, Extra Distributor, Brand New Battery, Brand New Battery Harness, there are extra moldings (you can see how the 68 does not have the metal strap but most of it is in the trunk and there are parts missing on the 74 but there should be more than enough to work with. The tires are also in pretty good shape. There are 6 X 9 speakers, an amp, the AC Unit has shocked lots of people. I have been told it can be easily fixed (however I did not look into it). Whoever buys this is probably going to feel like I am a fool but honestly, I don't care, I just don't have the time, I am running a business right now and I just don't have he time to deal with all this stuff but I would not be surprised if you could milk $15,000 + out of this. The AC Central Console is in good shape and sturdy which is important if you are going to work with it to put some gauges in there. Even the dash on the 74 isn't so bad, its actually in pretty good shape and has the standard one crack and a hairline crack. The 68 interior itself, if restored could be sold for a considerable amount of money. That 68 is a gold mine if you know what you are doing simply because people looking for 68 original parts are going to be after them and my whole plan was to restore as many of those parts and sell them to finance the project. The speedometer is fine in the 74 but it is not working in the 68 but the other gauges are working and the lights are fine. I am trying to think of as much stuff as I can. I am still trying to get the Youtube Video of me driving around the 68 so you can hear the engine and the car shifting. As soon as I can figure out how to get the video from my phone to youtube I will post it.

BMW discussing new plant with Mexican authorities

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Drawn in by low wages and manufacturing costs, BMW could be the next automaker to set up a manufacturing facility in Mexico. Automotive News is reporting that the German automaker has had discussions with local Mexican governments regarding a possible assembly plant, but there is no word as to when a decision may come down. Last we heard, BMW was reportedly looking to build the 3 Series in Mexico.
A key determining factor for this new plant is a free-trade agreement between the US and Europe, which according to the article, would give BMW better "flexibility and cost structure" to open another plant in North America. In terms of luxury automakers, Audi is currently building a new plant in Mexico and Mercedes-Benz is considering opening one in conjunction with Nissan for the CLA-Class, and in the bigger picture, Honda and Mazda are also preparing to kick off vehicle production in Mexico.

Mini Minor to be co-developed with Toyota

Mon, Jan 26 2015

It was back in 2011 when Mini first showcased the prospect of an even smaller hatchback with the Rocketman concept at the Geneva Motor Show. In the nearly four years since, parent company BMW has hemmed and hawed on the possibility of putting it into production, but the latest word from Europe has it that the project is a go. According to Automobile magazine, Mini is realigning its product portfolio into five pillars: the essential hardtop we've already seen (available in two/three- and four/five-doors), the convertible, the upcoming new Clubman wagon (coming this summer with full-size auxiliary suicide doors on both sides), the next-gen Countryman crossover in 2016 and two new model lines. One will be the production version of the Superleggera roadster concept, earmarked for 2018. The other will be the Minor, a smaller city car reviving a long-gone model name and presaged by the aforementioned Rocketman concept. But for that last one, Mini won't go it alone. To develop the mini Mini, BMW will reportedly turn to its partnership with Toyota. The relationship is already set to yield a new Supra and Z4 and share fuel cell and other technologies. But this would broaden the partnership to include a small hatchback. However rather than use the existing (or next-gen) Aygo, which is already built under joint venture with PSA Peugeot Citroen (with which BMW previously had a joint engine venture), word has it that the BMW and Toyota will develop a new platform for the project – one that will be used by both partners. The new product plan doesn't leave much room for the Mini Coupe and Roadster (which have already been discontinued), for the Paceman three-door crossover (which will suffer the same fate) or for the projected seven-seater minivan. But the addition of the new Superleggera roadster and super-mini Mini aren't likely to leave us wanting for either. Related Video:
