1969 Bmw 1600 California Black Plate on 2040-cars
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. |

BMW says yes to 1 Series M successor, no to M6 Gran Coupe with xDrive
Wed, 13 Mar 2013If you're anything like us, the first half of that headline made you smile. The BMW 1 Series M Coupe was, without a doubt, one of our favorite cars from the past few years, and according to a BMW Blog interview, Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, head of the company's M division, has confirmed that a successor is in the works.
"We haven't made a decision yet, but the 1M coupe was so successful, that in my opinion, I am absolutely sure we will build a successor," Nitschke told BMW Blog. Currently, BMW only offers the M135i version of the new 1 Series hatch in Europe, which Nitschke says is "not a pure M car."
Moving elsewhere in the M range, BMW Blog asked about the M6 Gran Coupe that recently debuted at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The obvious competitors for this car will be higher-power versions of the Porsche Panamera and Audi RS7, but while both of those offer all-wheel drive, the M6 only sends power to its rear wheels.
Alpina bringing new B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio to Geneva
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Interested in picking up a new BMW 4 Series with a turbo six? You've got options: you can get the 435i with 300 horsepower or spring for the M4 with 425 hp. But if it's the convertible model you want, we're afraid you'll be limited to the latter as the M division can't help you (at least not for the time being). But that's where Alpina comes in.
The aftermarket tuner closely associated with BMW offers the B4 Bi-Turbo (at least in Europe) with that same 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six massaged up to 410 horsepower that starts to pose a threat to the M4. What's more is that the Alpina's 442 pound-feet of torque eclipses the M4's 406 lb-ft, to say nothing of the 435i's 300.
Best of all, Alpina just confirmed via Facebook that it'll offer the B4 in convertible form, bringing the resulting BMW Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio to the Geneva Motor Show. We'd expect the weight penalty to knock it slightly off the coupe's quoted 4.1-second 0-60 time, but not by much. If only BMW were to bring this one Stateside like it does with the B7 sedan.
2015 BMW X6 M First Drive [w/video]
Wed, Feb 4 2015Please forgive my bluntness, and allow me to cut to the heart of the X6-dissenter argument right at the top. Yes, BMW will sell you a 2015 BMW X5 M that is the motive twin (I assume) of the X6 M you're here to read about, that is also cheaper, roomier, and more conventional in appearance. For many of you – especially the old guard that hears the descriptor "Sports Activity Coupe" and proceeds to unlock the gun cabinet – that's all you need to hear. Because, although the fickle community that consumes and comments on internet car culture seems to be fine with typical-looking SUVs and wagons packing performance-enhancing goodies, the idea of slanting the back of one turns them right off. And yet, BMW continues to sell the things; more than 250,000 units have be delivered in the X6 series' history. As if that weren't proof of concept enough, blood-rival Mercedes-Benz has unleashed the GLE, a coupe-like crossover of its own, complete with AMG pedigree. All of this brought me to Austin, TX, home of Hill Country, The Circuit of the Americas and the 2015 X6 M launch. On both road and track I found a car that was more powerful and blithely capable than ever, while also being exactly as weird to drive as it is a concept to comprehend. Given that the X5 M exists, and offers styling that is more like normal for the SUV genre, both the lovers and the haters of the X6 M are likely to be focused on the way it looks. Here, the 2015 model isn't very much changed from the original, meaning you aren't liable to change sides on the styling debate for this refresh. The '15 model has a slightly fewer black accents on the exterior, along with revised front and rear fasciae and vented (and chromed) front fender gills. The car is almost two inches longer than the existing model, but is near enough the same size in every other direction that you'd have to study the specification sheet to know different. Inside the X6 M that I tested was a beautiful, fully optioned cabin that boasted gripping sport seats and BMW's wide, easy-to-read infotainment screen. The leather-wrapped everything and carbon-fiber trim were both well executed, and my hands rejoiced at the feeling of the thick-rimmed, serious-looking steering wheel. Veterans of the current M5 or M6 will see a lot that looks familiar here, but to my eyes that's high praise. The most impactful changes aren't visual but visceral.
