Says the seller: “There is one serious scratch in the paint on the right front fender. I think that this occurred when the original owner had the car.

| BaT Exclusive: Blue-Plate 1971 BMW 2002 Posted: 14 Nov 2012 06:35 AM PST Chrises Cars - BaT Exclusive: Blue-Plate 1971 BMW 2002 This 1971 BMW 2002 (Chassis 1679189) is offered by the third owner who has had the car since 2009. The car has been in California since new as evidenced by the DGN-sequenced blue license plate, and was re-painted in Verona Red by the first owner. It has been upgraded with twin Weber carburetors and right-sized Panasport wheels, and has our favorite shorty rear bumper and no side trim, a clean look that was lost after ’71. The seller says it is reliable enough for a daily driver and has been garaged, but he’s lost his space so needs to sell. It is available in Irvine, California for $13,900.
The round taillight models look terrific with no bumper guards, and this is a true US-spec set-up with the license lights up on the rear panel like the later cars. The 2002 badge has been deleted, but would be easy to add in the stock location if desired. The seller says that there is no visible rust, and that the spare tire well, the front inner fenders, and shock towers are all in good shape. The interior features a very clean dash and the upholstery and door panels look great in black with grey carpets. We like the early factory silver dollar gauges, and the supplemental gauge pod is cleanly done, not unlike the factory turbo cars. The steering wheel looks like a period item, and is suitably understated in all black. The driver’s seat has a small split on the bottom section, but they look perfect in the photos. The dash has a small crack in the area over the instrument cluster, and the seller had floor mats made with German carpet to match era. According to receipts, it looks like there was an engine rebuild in 1984. At that point, the car had 118,635 miles on it, and it now shows 51,000 on the odometer, which is assumed to be 151k.It has dual side draft Webers with K&N filters, and the fuel pump was moved to the trunk. The carbs respond very well and I have had no issues with the linkage. The seller says that the factory 4-speed shifts great, and that he had clutch disc & pressure plate replaced and the flywheel was re-surfaced in 2010 with 150,062 miles. The front calipers & pads were replaced in 2009 with 146,907. Click here to email the seller directly if you are interested. Check out the additional photos here in the Flickr album and slide-show below.

| Seller Submission: 1973 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Posted: 14 Nov 2012 06:35 AM PST Chrises Cars - Seller Submission: 1973 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Says the seller: “Hard to find Oldsmobile “clamshell” wagon in time-warp condition. 86K original miles, all original paint and interior, and 2 owners from new.”
1973 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser
How long have you had the car? This was a one owner car for 38 years until it was acquired by a collector last year. Describe the body condition: This car presents extremely well. Finished in “Cranberry Red Poly” the paint still shows good gloss with no faded or baked out areas. The body panels on this wagon are unbelievably straight, just very impressive in person. There are ZERO rust issues, none. Describe the mechanical condition: This wagon runs and drives just as good as it looks. The 455 Rocket V8 was just tuned with new plugs, wires, cap, points and rotor – it’s at the top of its game. Has a super smooth balanced idle and of course loads of power on tap. Included documentation: The car comes with lots of original literature, including a build sheet, first registration, dealer paperwork and a complete range of owner’s manuals. What makes this car special? The survival rate on these clamshell GM wagons was low, as they aged the combination of the big block motor and beefy wagon construction made them a favored choice for demolition derbies. Among the survivors still out there, excellent examples are rare.
