BMW 507 (1959) for Sale in CA

This 1959 BMW 507 Series II is a rare hand-built sports car with aluminum bodywork styled, finished in striking Silver Blue with a tan convertible top. The car features classic lines, dual fender-mounted side mirrors, refreshed brightwork, and silver-painted steel wheels with Michelin tires and a matching spare. Stopping is handled by finned aluminum drum brakes, complemented by a solid rear axle with Panhard rod and independent double-wishbone front suspension. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in tan leather over the seats, door panels, and upper dashboard, with matching color-keyed carpeting and trunk lining. Additional features include roll-up windows, door pockets, a passenger grab handle, offset shifter, ashtray, and a Becker Mexico radio. A four-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation, including a 240-km/h speedometer, 6,000-rpm tachometer, clock, and gauges for coolant, fuel, and oil pressure. Power comes from a 3,168cc aluminum V8 with dual twin Zenith carburetors, mated to a four-speed ZF manual transmission. The rear-wheel-drive car is equipped with torsion bars and tubular shocks all around, and a stainless-steel exhaust system completes the package.
