Recap —
Completely rust free, California stored & driven example that is described as a capable street-legal dual-purpose track car. This BMW 1600 will be sold with the original title issued in 1970, comprehensive documentation, photos, and appropriate logbooks (SCCA, SVRA, HSR, VDCA and BMW CCA) before its revision back to strictly street use in 1999. Whether the new caretaker’s desired use involves racing, canyon carving, or stagnant parking in their garage as artwork, we’re thrilled to facilitate the transfer of an important BMW chassis that arguably began their triumphant racing pedigree.
