I spoke to the original owner Rick last night. He is a funny guy with a great sense of humor. All this time he has been looking for original photos of the car from back in the day and has been scratching his head wondering where he put them...until he noticed that he was standing in front of the collage that his wife Lenora made for him years ago. In the center of the collage are the two photos of him and his wife next to the car when it was brand new. It was when he brought the car to the BMW Fall Fest in 1973 just after it was delivered and just after the BMW dealer refused to sell him a 1973 2002 TII for anything less than full sticker.
He is trying his best to get a close up of the photos (they are sealed in the framed collage).
