For this weekends Barrett Jackson Palm Beach
collector car auction, a great number of vehicles
will be rare examples of numerous eras of
motoring. Despite the broad representation in
recent auctions that have seen the company gone
from selling mostly prewar luxury cars to exotic
cars, muscle cars, street rods and even pickup
trucks, the mid-1970s has been an omitted period.
The myriad of poor designs, lackluster quality
control and choked V-8 engines have given little
to celebrate from the middle of the 1970s to the
beginning of the 1980s. A keen eye of an auto
enthusiast can always find the diamond in the
pile of coal. Clarion Builds turned their
attention to a 1974 BMW 2002 they are now
prepared to sell at an auction to benefit
charity. While the 1970s deflated the output
from the mighty muscle cars, some cars focused on
maximizing the performance from smaller engines
shined. A German company known more for
motorcycles, BMW was able to place their
automotive footprint in a broad manner starting
in the 1960s thanks to the 2002. Remaining in
production until 1977, the BMW 2002 is quickly
regarded as a treasure that sold more than
860,000 vehicles for a budding auto brand.
Choosing a project car in 2014, automotive audio
system leader Clarion chose the timelessly
European-styled BMW 2002 for a tasteful but
detailed upgrade.

Going on the block on Saturday, April 9th 2016,
the Clarion Builds BMW 2002 is nothing less than
a Bavarian beauty. Engaged with partners such as
Koni America, KN, Toyo tires, Pelican Parts and
New Century BMW, the Clarion Builds turned to
CoupeKing Motorworks (a reputable specialist in
the restoration of BMW vehicles) as the skilled
hands that tore down the 1974 BMW 2002 and built
it back up into a completed vehicle. Though the
stock essence of the BMW remains, a painstaking
effort has been devoted to creating a small
jewel. CoupeKing Brought the car towards a better
than stock appearance just as a number of
modifications would give the project vehicle a
real sonic boom through Clarion. Through its
partnerships on the product, Clarion Builds added
some special touches. Clarion Builds went to
length to locate 15-inch BBS RS001 wheels.
Eventually finding the hard-to-find rims, they
were restored and powder-coated by VR Wheels.
HushMat fitted the vehicle with high-quality
sound and heat insulation while Wirez Inc.
contributed electrical cables and accessories. A
new leather interior is also added to the
customized BMW 2002.

upgraded engine. Dual side draft Weber
carburetors supplied by Ireland Engineering are
paired with a unique, one-off air cleaner
assembly. Custom-made by KN in-house,
computer-aided design and a CNC mill were used to
machine an aluminum assembly housing for an
oval-shaped high-flow air filter.

in their creation and sharing it online as well
as across media publications, Clarion has,
Flochosen to offer their 1974 BMW 2002 project
car to a new home. With all proceeds benefiting
the Barrett-Jackson Cancer Research Fund at the
TGen Foundation, the sounds and personality of
