I want to see this "aftermarket sunroof that does not open"???
That was my thought too.
Another Dec 1974 e9 with four slat kidney that needs lots of love from its next caretaker.
Hope the new owner joins us w/his needs.
I got a mint 4-slat grille I'll gladly sell to him for cheap.

Just curious (I do not need another e9) how big a deal it is to fix the cracked rear subframe. Like thousands or more?
Sienna brown, not my favorite color, but it does make the rust less obvious from 20 feet.
I will be very curious to see final bid on this needy car - hopefully someone gets it cheap so they can fix things.

Not expensive.
Drop the subframe, weld up crack.
Good time to refresh the whole rear end (bushings, seals, etc)

strangest auction ever!
Someone mentioned $10K would make it a driver. I believe "driver" is subjective, and once you start, these cars never cease to surprise with their needs.
Not a factory sunroof, dome light was moved to behind the sunroof and headliner is not original either. That tecno bidder is truly strange.
Photo # 78 shows the glove box spring on the right side scissor hinge. Imagine that!!!
Just read through some of the later comments. WTF. Great example of where BaT falls down. Some of the posters are way off base. I've flagged
Just closed at $33k, Tecno must be beside himself...
About the same price as the recent BAT lime green 1974 (which I think was in somewhat better shape). So $30K is becoming the standard for a needy but salvageable e9

I just read through the comments on BaT. Sorry I missed Tecno before he got flagged -- what I saw was bizarre. As noted, hilarity ensued.
