Description of 1957 BMW Isetta

Here is your chance to own a rare 1957 BMW Isetta sliding window Cabriolet, the one body style everyone wants. This is a U-Finish Project ready for you to complete. Starting with a number matching car, the body was media blasted to bare metal and primer sealed. The floor is rust free other than needing a battery box of which a replacement is included. The rear parcel shelf is stock and uncut. The rear does not appear to ever been damaged. The front fenders are in excellent condition other than one small spot on the drivers bottom edge shown in the photos. The isetta frame was stripped down and also media blasted to bare metal, primed and painted. Everything was restored and rebuilt. The engine has a new custom billet aluminum rod and was totally rebuilt from a bare block. No shortcuts were taken and has 110 lbs compression. All new brake system. New drive couplings, tires, tubes, cables, muffler and so on. The pictures speak for themselves. I have been restoring isettas for over 25 years so this is no quick and dirty rebuild to make a fast buck. You are getting what you pay for. This is being offered toward someone who may not have the mechanical rebuilding skills yet wants to have a nice restored car they can finish. Complete your bodywork, paint and upholstery and you will have a 35-40k valued cabrio. To help complete your car, several thousand $$ of new parts are included: new wiring harness made by Dave Raab. New front and rear bumpers. Rear tube nerf bumpers. Rechromed front nerf bumpers. New body rubber kit. Cabrio rubber strips. Body to frame seal. Engine to body seal. Set of 4 hubcaps.

Hand grip assist bar, NOS ashtray, rear mud flaps, front stone guards, new Windshield & seal with lockstrip, rubber floor mat, engine panel lock & key, BMW door emblem and script Isetta 300 emblems, door seal and gas cap. Those are all NEW parts. All glass is good and I have a clear Va title. Car is fairly complete and nothing major is missing. I didn't photograph every single part included so - Contact me with any questions or concerns - 201 939 2208 The body is bolted to the frame and the steering is attached for shipping. Car will roll and steer easily. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due within 48 hours. Shipping is to be arranged by the buyer and I will assist with loading.
