Bmw 2002, 1975, Sahara, Factory Sunroof, 4spd, Recaros, Clean! on 2040-cars

 This auction is for a 1975 BMW 2002. Exterior color is Sahara (TAN), interior is tan.
Exterior;
Body has an older paint re-spray which I would rate as average, 10+ years old. There are scratches and minor pits, two minor dents in trunk lid and hood. No major dents or prior accident damage that I can see anywhere. Car is very straight, with amazing fit lines for its age. All panels are original. I cannot say "rust free" as it has been driven in the elements for 38 years, but the only signs that I can see are the bottom of the left fender below the rocker trim and possibly the lower right of the nose. neither of these spots has perforation. Car has a factory (Golde) sunroof which functions as it should and has new seals. Windshield has minor scratches, but is original, and has a new seal. Remaining glass is very good. Door seals, trunk seal are good. Left headlight is cracked otherwise lights are very good and all function properly. Bumpers are very nice with very little oxidation, a few minor scratches, rubber trims are very good. Trunk is very clean, minor surface rust spots in spare tire well, wheel houses are solid. Jack and lug wrench are present, no tool roll. Trunk panel boards are average. Pan and frame rails are very straight and rust free. Minor surface rust, however never re-sprayed or undercoated. Car has spent its life in New Mexico/Colorado. Wheels are alloys, tires are good, 50% tread.
Suspension/Brakes;
Bilstein HD shocks all around with Eibach sport springs, lowers car about 2". Front brake pads and rotors within last 5000 mi, rear brakes 70%, braided stainless flex lines. Stock bars. New center steering link, outer tie rods very good, no boot tears. New front track rod bushings.
Engine/Trans/Diff;
Engine is not original to car, earlier block with 121 cylinder head. Two barrel Weber carb with electric choke. Exhaust header, not sure of brand. Exhaust system solid. All hoses very good. Runs cool. Smokes a bit on deceleration. No smog bits. Runs very well, appears that cyl head has been rebuilt as it has an 87 date cast. No bad noises. Recent tune, valve adjustment.
Transmission is a four speed, shifts well, no noise or 2nd gear grinding. new trans mount. Driveshaft coupling (guibo) and center support bearing very good.
Differential is an open 3:64. Halfshaft boots good.
Interior;
Dash has one crack, right side of instrument binnacle. Grant wood rimmed wheel. Headliner is good, some dirt and minor staining. Seats have slip on covers, fronts are e21 Recaros, gray cloth, minor wear spots. Rear seat has lost horsehair and upholstery is fair. Door panels have speakers but are otherwise nice. Originally appears to have had A/C but was gone when I purchased it. Regular non-A/C console. Carpet is faded and shows marks from the original A/C console. Heater box recently rebuilt, reinforced valve mount, works properly, fan works with no squeaks.
This is a very straight, minor rust 2002. Very presentable driver with a sunroof. Nice suspension upgrades without being overboard. Runs, shifts and drives very well. Speedometers were atrocious, so exact mileage is unknown, but I think it is pretty close. Any questions, please ask.
