1969 Bmw 1600 California Black Plate on 2040-cars
Year:1969
Mileage:103000
Color:
Location:
Los Angeles, California, United States
|
See more pictures here: This is an original (almost) rust free California Black plate car. The car is ORIGINAL. All the numbers match and other than the center console (pictured) there have been no modifications to the car.
The car was purchased from Oceanview Motors in Santa Monica California in 1969. I bought the car from the original owner in 1997 in Pasadena California.
The mileage is unknown as the speedo cable snapped several years ago. However the car has not been driven beyond my immediate neighborhood since then. When the cable snapped the odometer was reading appx 103k. If I had to guess it has about 5k more than that.
Engine: Runs strong, not powerful...its a small motor...but it runs strong. Original Carb rebuilt 3 years ago. Radiator replaced 4 years ago. Water pump and thermostat and all hoses replaced last week. The air pump is disconnected and could use a new bracket...or just removal.
Transmission: Original. The synchros and gears are in perfect working order. I clutch does not slip and feels great, but I cannot remember when it was last replaced.
Electrical: there are a few gremlins here. The interior lighting does not work. The gas guage does not work. The heater motor is dead and is disconnected. All exterior lights work and the battery is brand new.
Brakes: Perfect.
Tires: 90% tread all around.
Suspensions: All bushings replaced 5 years ago with stock bushings. Shocks also replaced 5 years ago with stock (Boge?) shocks.
Exterior: The pictures should tell the story here. The paint is original and is DONE! It needs paint or a garage immediately (this is the main reason that I am letting it go). There are two small dents in the hood. One fist sized dent on the front fender. There is no bondo, no rust, and no evidence of any body work ever. One of the windshield wipers needs reassembly. The antenna needs new mounting clips.
Interior: The interior is rough...as you can see. All the parts are there but it needs a complete overhaul. The car does come with a new carpet kit (still in the box) ready for install, and the original radio and center console which would need to be re-assembled and installed. The windshield rear-view mirror is broken and needs to be replaced. The door mirrors look good but both tend to go loose and need to be tightened up often.
Overall: This is an AWESOME car for someone with the time and resources to finish it off.
The car is located in North Los Angeles and is available for test drives. Just send me an email.
I have not listed a price as I am going to sell it to the highest bidder on Ebay in a no reserve auction. However, please feel free to email me if you have would like to make an offer before the close of the auction. I have decided it is time to let her go. The car will be sold at the close of the auction. |

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015
Wed, Dec 10 2014Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.

They start off talking about why more people should buy the Honda Ridgeline, because it's a pretty darned good truck. Next, Byron talks about some Hyundais. He shares his experiences with the 2020 Sonata Hybrid and talks briefly about the prototype 2021 Elantra currently occupying his driveway. Up next, Jeremy shares his feelings about the BMW X1 crossover he spent some time with, prompting the gang to mull over the notion of BMW's modern interpretation of "Ultimate Driving Machine." After that, Byron talks about towing his 1990 Mazda Miata with the 2020 Infiniti QX80, and then they wrap up with some discussion of the mystery surrounding the Ford Maverick and some comments on the current state of Tesla.

Mercedes fights off late BMW surge to claim 2013 luxury sales crown
Sat, 04 Jan 2014The king is dead - long live the king. Mercedes-Benz is now your new US sales champion in the fiercely competitive luxury market, deposing the champ BMW, which has enjoyed annual supremacy for the past two years.
Thanks in no small part to the dynamite launch of the new, affordable CLA-Class, not to mention a redesigned E-Class and hot-selling S-Class, Mercedes moved 33,007 units in December alone, while sales in 2013 were up 14 percent, to 312,534. BMW, meanwhile, managed to sell 309,280 units in 2013. It was far from a sure thing for the Stuttgart-based brand, though, as BMW managed to nearly halve its rival's sales lead heading into the last month of 2013.
"We saw record sales, flexed our muscles across the entire product line from top to bottom and brought the customer experience to an all-time high," said Steve Cannon, Mercedes USA's CEO. While we don't have individual figures, it seems at first blush that the CLA was really the car that pushed Mercedes over the top.
