1970 BMW 2500 (E3 sedan) - $2500 (walnut creek)

"There is surface rust on the doors, but the balance of the car is SOLID - beautiful floors/undercarriage - I pulled the carpet to confirm and floors look damn near brand new."

Pretty bold ad copy. Or rather, optimistic.

"It's not far from being a daily driver - will need parts noted above along with rebuilding the original zenith carbs."

Which happens to include getting it running, sourcing and installing a windshield, door glass, a fuel tank, and who knows what else...???

100% original...yea, those front seats recovered with bath towel material...yup, right out of Munich.

Yes, bold ad copy.

Doesn't seem that bad to me.

I guess I'm a little jaded. I paid $2000 for mine and it was freshly painted, new suspension, new radiator, excellent interior, 5-speed conversion, new wheels and tires and a killer stereo system...

Medication time gentlemen!

It’s an ultra-cool 2500 that got scoffed at more than once on the forum as the price rose. It happens all the time but I suppose we all have our dream cars already. Really though, I know you wanted it first and probably would have done right by it. If the guy listed his contact info property it may have happened.

It probably won’t comfort you to know that the guy who first relayed the $300 car on this forum removed well over $300 worth of parts from said car this afternoon.

Happy Anniversary:
