1976 Bmw 2002 4spd Manual 58k Original Miles 100% Rust Free!!!! on 2040-cars

1976 BMW 2002 – 58K original miles, Manual 4 speed and RUST FREE

Overall:

Up for sale is my 1976 BMW 2002 ultimate driving machine….. This is a manual 4 speed car that was lovingly restored 8 years ago. I purchased the car from an elderly gentleman in Indiana several years ago and use it as a weekend driver. The car runs excellent and has only traveled 58,000 miles from new. This 2002 is in remarkably rust free condition. If you know 2002’s that is very rare. The floors, shock towers front and rear, trunk floor, frame, rocker panels, fenders and doors are all rust free and straight as an arrow. This car is a really fun car to drive that can be enjoyed as a daily driver.

Body and Interior:

The car had a bare metal respray in its original BMW Seafoam Green 8 years ago by the second owner who owned it for 15 years.  All panels are original to the car and it was never in an accident or rusted out. Paint is in very  good condition. Glass is clear. Rubber is in good condition. Front buckets and rear bench seat were completely rebuilt and reupholstered with the original factory beige leatherette material. Door panels and headliner are in excellent original condition. All gauges and lights, horn, wiper works like they should. Gauge cluster is not hooked up. A modern sterio CD player has also been installed. Car actually has a very good sound system.

The typical BMW 2002 idiosyncrasies still exist such as the window regulators that need to be adjusted. Driver side window closes 1/2 inch from top and the door latch needs to be adjusted properly. I am sure its an easy fix.

Mechanical:

Engine runs fantastic, starts right up and idles at 800 rpm and sounds terrific. Revs are smooth and strong up to 6500rpm’s.  Clutch feels perfectly aligned and its easy to shift. The 4 spd gear box shifts perfectly with no strange noises or oil leaks. Car pulls strong in all four gears and runs like a top at 80 mph all day long.  Carb was replaced with a Weber Carb. All ID tags and engine bay stickers are original to the car and in their proper place. Engine also runs cool. I never had any issues overheating. These engines are generally good for 300,000 miles when properly cared for and are usually very durable and reliable cars. 

This 2002 can be used literally as a daily driver or for a weekend pleasure cruise. Major tune up was done last year along with valve adjustment and new, plugs, wires, dist cap, points, condenser and rotor. New alternator was installed along with a new Interstate battery, belts and hoses. Pedal bushings were rebuilt along with shift bushings. Car has new tires and has retains its original steel pressed wheels with aftermarket chrome trim rings.

The 2002 is currently registered in New York State inspected and garaged in Huntington, New York.

Closing:

The car is sold “AS IS” with no expressed or implied warrantee or guarantees. I am not a broker or a dealer so this is a private sale that is final. It is sold “WHERE IS” in Huntington, New York and if transported will be the cost of the buyer. I will load the car on the transport and see that all is safe.

I have set a reasonable BUY IT NOW price of $15K which is around my cost in the car. Hagerty Insurance Co has valued the 2002 at $17,500 in its present condition and rated the car a condition 2.  I have two kids in college right now and college costs are absolutely criminal….so I have to sell it and do the right thing…My loss is your gain...

BMW 2002’s, especially manual 4 spd cars are getting harder to find in rust free condition with low mileage. They are getting very sought after by collectors and car enthusiasts and prices have been rising fast. Parts are readily available and there is a very strong following of 2002 enthusiasts as you already know….  

If you are a serious buyer and have any questions please call or text me at 631-339-3349 or contact me through E-Bay. I will gladly take any detailed photos and send them to you. I will sell to Europe/worldwide and to anyone who appreciates this car for what it is. I have the right to end this auction early since I will advertise on other venues. I will request a $500 deposit within 24 hours and the balance shortly thereafter and will hold the car for you until payment and transportation has been made. Thanks for your interest. Best of luck and Bid with confidence. Thanks Dave.
