It's a historic car, but been for sale forever. I have tried to buy it a couple of times and may try again. But in my opinion, it has to go back to the Broadspeed livery, bodywork, and how it appeared in that race, which will not be inexpensive. The market for both understanding this car...

Ok, interesting for me at least :-) Background is coming off Pebble Beach ramp, only E9 ever to be judged on the PB lawn and came 2nd in class in 2016, the year of BMW. With 507 behind it, that had just had a $1M restoration and won the class

To add to what Chris said - BAT is not the place for CSL's last couple of years in fact, auctions don't seem to be treating them well. With yours if I remember correctly being a RHD converted to LHD and not being in the US, with tariffs and shipping. My gut says unless you have to sell, now...

While I agree, there are a lot more varied and expensive 911's.Maybe because I am old, I can't tell the difference between 911s from decade to decade; I've always struggled. Although, for separation and looks, again, in the period the Batmobile does stand out like a 2.7RS

Older BMWs, including our E9s, have a limited audience; auctions are not their domain, and the very best sell privately to a knowledgeable audience. I know of a Bat that recently sold for $650k and one that sold for $300k. Another sold a few years ago for $850k and everything in between...

Oh, the stories we could all write. I am not a mechanic - far from it- yet I love working on my cars in my limited capacity. Can't diagnose much beyond the obvious, but can sure undo nuts and bolts, remove something, and put it back on. I agree about newer cars and main dealers; it's...

"No, but I wish to find him?" said in a distinctly Eastern European accent.

It's an odd duck - I am always grateful and appreciative of what anybody wants to do to save an E9, although this may be a case of saving a person from drowning who was just swimming badly. I hate to be negative about anybody's car, but this looks dangerous. A coat of shiny paint and an engine...

I was looking for the more apt button, but of the choices, "love" is the only one that works, (care or hugs would have been better) All for you doing this, for your description; for your Dad, whom I never met but had many a conversation with, sometimes cranky conversations (both sides), but...

@ccr2002 interesting to see the result, but with all your experience, you did the absolute right thing first and well done you for giving it a college try. Yes, a sickness many on this page also have the affliction Hope somebody with metal skills takes it on Good luck

Good luck, Tyson - fingers crossed for you, mate.

Well, if I get a Schnitzer Parts car livery, I will be selling the JPS 635 that I have owned for a long while now, chassis 88. I believe the only one living in the USA, maybe the only JPS 635 that has ever lived in the USA. It's all a matter of taste; many might like other liveries, which is...

You are remembering correctly, Scott :-) I will be watching. While I love the JPS, for me this is the ultimate livery on a Motorsport E24

For my sins, I am an original kinda guy, as much as possible. But I am also all about the passion and absolutely adore what I see enthusiasts do to their 911s and E9s to add a little more comfort, power, or modern drivability. As most who know me know, it's all about that passion, and if you...

Yes, the scams are getting better and better guys, and obviously aimed at us all as we get older, so please watch out for your older friends and family, some horror stories out there. Now for a funny one. I had a Lotus 69 that Graham Hill drove five times. I was looking to sell an M1 (which I...

Thanks Scott, Sadly, we have to be careful about everything now. Even "so-called " history on a car. Erik Keller, when he was alive, called me one day and said, "I am trying to buy your old black E30 M3, anything I should know?" I laughed and said, "Never owned a black E30 M3". He said "are...

@Micah.ohTwo I have a set of that second set you mentioned (mine are not packed in hay) . That picture in Germany of them a biege E9 was the first I have ever seen them on an E9, yet Campagnolo says they were made to fit an E9. I think they work great on the car

It's a tactic. People who may have remained engaged leave and as we saw, nobody there at the end. I have seen it work more than once

It's not a long story, @CamaroyZ , I am sure we could all write a lot more. Nice to know a bidder or two is already on here. It is a car that should be saved, and the owner is a nice guy; I believe he may be on here. That said, a full restoration now using a respected restorer of one of...
