1970 BMW E3/2800 FS in Southern California

[rblongboarder]

Back in 2023, I purchased this 1970 E3/2800 with the intent of restoring it - but my interests shifted over the last two years - I've decided I wanted to build a hybrid street / track car from a Bavaria (especially after seeing Shawn Essex's 2800cs track car and being around the Luigi CSL at Laguna Seca Historics).

This vehicle is VIN 242-0398, a member of the first 708 Series 1 E3's shipped to the USA, before Max Hoffman got involved in the "Bavaria" re-branding effort with BWM. It's not an E9, but it's about halfway through the first Series 1 production run, so hopefully it will go to an enthusiast that wants to restore it, or perhaps parts from this vehicle will support other on-going Series 1 restoration projects.

VIN Details:

• https://bmw-e3-club.de/fahrgestellnummern/
• 6/1969 to 11/1970 <==> 242-0001 to 242-0708

Other details:

• The car is currently located in the Los Angeles area in storage.
• Interior is fairly rough, and is equivalent to the exterior.
• The previous owner was tinkering with the carbs, and had them rebuilt. The car is not running.
• Vehicle VIN is not in the California database. I have a title.
• I have a fair amount of spare parts - front & rear windshields, spare trunk, spare hood, 4 spare door shells, trunk chrome, etc..

$2K for the car. We can negotiate price on parts if someone is interested in a package deal.

DM me if you're interested.

Pictures of interior and engine would be helpful

Thank you for the reminder. I need to stop by the storage location and get interior and engine bay shots.
