Car description

Offering for sale is a 1981 BMW 745i (E23) Europeanimported 7 series. This is the Europe only turbocharged 3.5L putting out 258hp. I purchasedthis originally as a parts car for a restoration project, ut frankly it is WAY too nice for a parts car. It runs, rives, tops, ven has COLD A/C! Frankly all it needs a little TLC. This is a non-sunroof, on-power window car. Now, hy is that positive? Less electronic stuff to fix! Having owned other e23s, his isusually the onlything that goes wrong is the electronic stuff. This was originally imported to southern California and spent its entire life prior to my purchase either in California or Arizona. The car as an updated battery, old a/c, tarts up and will drive fine. Being aCalifornia car, t has no rust (exception is acouple small surface rust areas shownin the pictures). NOTHING rusted through, ust very minoron the surface. Body panels are original and straight. All lights are there, ot cracked up, hough one of thetaillights is a bit faded (blame it on AZ sun!). It appears to have lowered springs and does also have Bilsteins shocks installed. Suspension is firm. What TLC is needed? Paint. The clear coat is peeling on the roof, runk, nd hood, n addition to some paint. The headliner is falling down, eather is brittle and has a couple small tears. Dash pad has a number of cracks as well. Other than that and a good cleaning, he rest of the interior isin good shape,with the door panels and wood to be in better shape than the seats. Manual roll upwindows mean you can always put them up and down when needed. Only other issue is the drivers side door wants to stay locked. Got it open and working fine, ow it wants to stay locked. Lastly, he trunk locking/opening button is very touchy and mostly does not want to open. After I got this car and decided not to just pull off the parts I wanted, wasgoing to repair the TLC items, lap on a flatblack paint job and just have fun with it. Professional obligations and family iskeeping from that, nd now winter is approaching and Idon't want to have it just sit. I have lost my storage facilitywhich this wasgoing to bemoved to for the winter, o I need to find a new home for her. I have the title in hand. This goes likely without saying, ut I suggest trailering it towherever you want it, hough it will go onand off atrailer under its own power just fine. Willing to deliver for $1.50/loaded mile up to 600miles from 47725.
