    FS: 1968 BMW 2002 - former GT3 race car - SOLD SOLD SOLD

    SOLD SOLD SOLD ON NOVEMBER 23, 2018

    PLEASE NO PRIVATE MESSAGES - EMAIL ONLY AT: e30austin at gmail dot com

    *sorry if something is not correctly identified, I am not a 2002 expert!*

    Next on the chopping block, is my 1968 2002 race car project. This is number 1661076, one of the very early ones. I bought the car, from a good friend of mine, who owned it, in stock trim, since 1973-4 sometime. This was his main driver for many years. Along the way, he decided to start taking it to track days, and was slowly upgrading parts, along the way.

    In the early 80s, he decided he was going to build a roll cage, and turn it into a legitimate race car. This car was incredibly successful, in GT3, for many years. For a multitude of reasons, my friend last raced this car on September 15, 1990, and the car sat in a dry, climate controlled, storage bunker, from that point forward, until earlier this year.

    My original intention was to get it back on the road and take it to track days, but with the acquisition of a property, in the very near future, all my toys are going away.

    Enough of the story, here are some details...

    Car:

    1968 2002 - clean Oregon title in hand - NO RUST

    Full custom roll cage
    custom fiberglass front fenders and rear "overfenders"
    fiberglass hood and trunk
    plexiglass rear window and side windows

    OE Turbo rubber trunk spoiler, in excellent shape, studs are present

    Engine/ancillaries:

    Custom, race spec 2.0 M10, built by Ray Korman, in 1985
    121 head - lots of port work done. "83" date stamp
    13.7:1 compression - 108 octane required
    Dr. Schrick 336 degree camshaft
    Alpina valves
    Febi HD rockers
    Schnitzer 20-4 front timing cover ($$$$$$$$)
    Bosch "R" (racing) distributor
    Dual Weber 50 DCOE carburetors
    Reverse flow cooling system - Bavaria water pump
    "Accusump", dry sump, oiling system
    MSD electronic ignition system
    Fuel cell in trunk, with four electric fuel pumps
    Pyrometers on each exhaust runner

    Transmission and driveline:

    Getrag 235 close-ratio 5 speed (2002 turbo, NOT the E21 close ratio box) - rebuilt in 1986, minimal usage since
    Good driveline
    Tilton twin disc clutch and flywheel
    Stock shifter andwafflesshift tower assy
    3.91 LSD - 75% lockup

    Suspension and brakes:

    Close-ratio steering box

    Custom built springs and adjusters, to make a fully adjustable coilover suspension setup (very high tech, for its time period!)
    Bilstein sport dampers
    Turbo front disc brakes with ventilated discs
    Custom rear disc brake conversion, similar to the Alpina setup

    Larger sway bar setup

    BBS 13" Magnesium wheels - 8.8 lbs each WITH tire!

    This car has been off the road, for almost three decades. It needs to be freshened up, before being exercised again. While I do have a title for it, the chassis has been pretty modified, and I wouldn't consider it to really be road legal again, but that is your call to make.

    The biggest issue is, there is a broken rocker arm. The previous owner was preparing to put the engine in "storage mode", as he referred to it, by taking all the rockers off the valve springs, to keep the tension off them. On cylinder 3, exhaust side, *when turning the engine over by hand*, the rocker arm broke, and he walked away, never to return to it again.

    I'd love to find this car a good home. Ideally, someone that would put it back on the track. It has a great history and a TON of neat parts.

    $20,000 USD. Located in Portland, Oregon, USA. Will happily help load it on a trailer, if the buyer makes any and all shipping arrangements.

    If not sold by December 1, 2018, I will start the part out (regretfully), but I would much, much rather get this car a proper home, as a whole; however, at this time, I will *not* be parting the car out.

    NOTE: Scheel/Mann seat, steering wheel, and "BMW" vanity plate NOT included with sale. Stock steering wheel will be included.

    That thing looks like a lot of fun! I would think that engine would be putting out around 200 hp at the crank with the build it has and especially with those Weber 50’s. Any dyno info from back in the day on it?

      Thanks, I'm told it was a "real monster" by anyone who drove it. Allegedly, made 250 crank HP, when the engine was built. No documentation to prove that, however.

              Thanks, appreciate the comments. I hope it doesn't get parted, too, but it's got to go. Maybe you should buy it :)
