New Car-Guy Pal


Met a fine fellow named Bob Rennick on eBay. A true Volvo lover who restored a 1962 PV 544.

Pictured above, he brought home a blue ribbon in the 2006 Euro Auto Festival in Greer, SC for favorite Volvo crowd pleaser of the event.

1973 BMW 2002 Tii (Roundie)





The latest acquisition (Project #4) a 1973 BMW 2002 Tii


A very clean example of a classic 1973 (Roundie) BMW 2002 Tii. Yes this rare classic in Tii form is becoming harder to find these days. She was owned previously by a Pilot/Engineer and was kept in meticulous condition.

Recent rebuilt engine & trans, Stereo w/ CD, completely restored car in excellent condition. Clean title. Odometer reads just over 68K (prob. 168K).

She is rust free. Engine runs smooth, no smoke, no oil leaks. She was repainted (bare metal, glass out) in a light blue (fjord blue) 3 years ago. At repaint she got a new windshield. All rubber moldings/seals are new. Underbody and trunk sprayed with sealer. She has a new radiator out of a 320i and new hoses and belts. Was a California car for many of her years. The interior is black leather in very good shape, back seat is pristine.

Front seats with some typical wear but no tears or holes. MOMO Steering wheel. Dash has a very small crack forming (need to put your nose on the dash to find it). The wheels have taken some hits against the curb and show scratches. Some of her chrome trim show scratches and wear. All gauges and clock lights up but does not work, turn signals do not cancel. She boasts a working sunroof and a blaupunkt stereo system with CD player. No AC. She is a great daily driver (drove her from Atlanta to Florence SC without a hitch last week). Includes all original BMW owners manuals and CD owners manual.

She would be a very nice car to take to a concours restoration for very little money since all the parts are there and only some fine-tune finishing would be needed. This car will not last long. I have done my best to describe this vehicle, she is a must see, must have.

Specs: 2002 Tii: 125 HP @ 5500 rpm (this is 27 HP more than the 2002/A), 127 ft/lb torque, Compression ratio 9.0:1. Curb Wt: 3200 lbs
