FS - Inka 1972 3.0 CSL - VIN 2275029

I’m not able to tell anyone if or if it is not a city package. How it left the factory is ultimately a mystery.
My dad bought it from another enlisted man. Name is Michael A. Naranjo (I don’t think it’s the blind artist). There were repairs or modifications done prior to my dad’s ownership. It did not have fixed back seats and the steering wheel had wood trim. My dad told me the guy told him he had traded some parts with someone.
In Italy, the car looked the same minus the stripes and 4 point harnesses my dad installed.
It was exempted from EPA but did get a DOT inspection and compliance package. Something to the effect of door bars.

definitely had the rear side markers added, whether they were lighted or just reflectors is a good question. door bars are a probable requirement

I’m trying to figure out the hood latch. The car did not have hood pins so it would have probably had latches.

 

[rsporsche]

no hood pins in your '95 picture, so that agrees with your memory. so that means that the hood latches were removed under current ownership and hood pins added

 

[Flounder26red]

Only Italy picture I have at the moment.

the original post has been edited, eliminating all claims told to me that it was a true lightweight.

This is the kind of adult back-and-forth that I love about this site. And we all learn from this. Thanks.

My 79 635csi was imported into the US and federalized in 1984. The door bars were added as they were required to meet US safety requirements. Rear side markers were also added. These are lights and not just reflectors on my car (or were until I removed them).

Might want to state that there was never an original CSL airdam to replace although it has one now.

 

[rsporsche]

i stumbled on that Chris - what we don't know, and probably never will know, did this CSL have an air dam previously and was it removed and sold off ... was it damaged + removed (as Dan said) ... we just know that it has one now. same as that we know the car has a petri again and rear seats again.

BMW style Air dams and spoiler package were first introduced with the 2275 Bats, ie, 2275430 onwards.

Would that include the small rubber lipped rear spoilers?

Yes, although strictly speaking, the 2275 Bats had the rubber less upright small spoiler and the 4355 Bats had the rubber lip spoiler.
