1969 BMW 2002 1600-2

This 1969 BMW 1600-2 is in excellent condition with new Florida (code 066) paint. Manufactured on April 24th. 1969 and delivered on May 5th. 1969 to Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. It was first sold in California and moved to Colorado in the late 80's. It was purchased by a BMW enthusiast in 2009 that took care of the mechanical issues after sitting for several years in storage. I purchased it in 2012 and spent the last few years bringing it back to its original condition.  It underwent extensive rust repairs and a glass out respray including the trunk and door jams. The engine bay was left the original paint since it was in excellent shape and I wanted to retain that originality.  It is a matching numbers car and currently registered in California.

Florida (green) is a rare color and very hard to find one for sale in this amazing condition. This is a true classic that has been refreshed/restored with careful attention to keeping it as original as possible. The engine bay is all original and unmolested! No wiring has been cut or spliced into. It even has much of the original wrapping on the wires. Everything works! No electrical issues and no surprises. This is a rare opportunity to find a unmolested. clean and well cared for 1969 Florida 1600-2.

A few things to note - The CA black plates shown in the photo's are for show and NOT the original plates or registered. There is one small crack in the lower dashboard but a un-cracked replacement dashboard will be included in the sale. Mileage is unknown since the cluster was restored but I suspect it has low miles given the cleanliness of the engine bay. Lastly. the shifter bushings were replaced and now second gear feels tight. I do not believe it is the syncros but rather the shifter needing adjustments.
