It cost $2000 to $4500, his quote is to register this car in California, alifornia DMV requesting (SEE SCANNED LETTER FROM SACRAMENTO POSTED BELOW), his is a 1973 car which is exempt from emission and smog, ut they insist on taking car to EPA station. There isn't much to do but it's the new law in California to obtain release letter. Car was imported from Lebanon about 2 years and it's been sitting in my house in Burbank California since. I've owned this car for over 26 years. I was quoted above mentioned fee by an independent DMV service person, have no idea where else to go to get this done or have the time to investigate, owever, t should cost normal fees for out of California buyers, many recommended to take it out of state to register, gain I have no time for this), believe a bill of sale from me will do the job to register it in a different state.
OK, ow about the car, his is a 1973 BMW 1600 Touring that was Alpina Cloned, ar was totally disassembled, very bolt and nut in 1996, ainted inside and outside and under coated to prevent rust, han garaged covered for over 12 years, as absolutely ZERO rust. 12 years later I was recruited by a Japanese company to work in Dubai, o trips to home were much easier and I decided to restore the car.
First, had the car re-painted again, han I had local BMW mechanic shop do the power train, ood running 2.0l engine and a 5 speed transmission, nd installed an A/C from a 5 series car, ustom console from a 323 car and seats, new carburetors, oldings, eals, ights, heels tires all new, new molded carpet, new original door panels, ll parts came from Germany and cost lots and lots of money, o expense was spared, ar has so much done to it. Too many rare goodies on the car, ook close you'll see what I mean.
Upon my move back to the state, decided to bring it here. Driven less than 1 mile since been here, een sitting in my garage covered and no time to drive, njoy or register.
Needs major TLC, une up properly, as tank or gas tank ear is leaking, attery area needs cleaning, new adjustments here and there nothing major. See the pictures and ask all your questions. I would appreciate serious inquiries only. Please bid only if you want to own this car, nd please bid accordingly, his is more than a nice car, his car needs someone that can baby it, am going crazy seeing it sitting without care. A definite head turner and a show car. You are welcome to inspect it in person if you are near Burbank airport.
PLEASE NOTE: Its a "Bill of Sale" sale, o title with car, itle is usually taken by shipping customs when car is imported, have all release declaration from port (Hapag-Lioyd) and have bill of lading.
The minute you buy it, eed to pay $2000 through PayPal and rest wire transfer to my bank. This car will be sold as is with no guarantees whatsoever.
Many thousands spent, are parts cost a ton of money, ot to mention the cost of seals and moldings.
All the best.
