clean and well-executed! NICE CAR!!!! Black/Tan is a nice color combo (makes me smile because I'm thinking of a cold Guinness draft right now) Seems very reasonably-priced based on pics. regardless of the color change.

tipping point First, congratulations! nice choice in vintage motoring! I agree with TodB in that you have to make a call how extensive of a restoration (if any) you're planning before sinking ANY money into this. I also agree that the condition is very typical unrestored cars in terms of...

GReat work ATAN! So many positive comments I could share, but I really like the authentic tone/grain of the interior wood (was that redone or original?). Love the color combination and as much as we all try to keep these coupes original, let's all face the fact that the original interior...

I've heard it is ridiculously difficult to export to and from Italy. Corrupt customs agents and terrible beaurocratic system. Could cost much more to successfully export this car, which may have factored into the price. Also, what was the buyer's premium to the auction house? either way...

I nominated the ad for "Best of Craiglist" (bottom of small box where you "flag") If I had more time, I'd email this guy and offer him a few leftover Dominican pesos that I have in my desk drawer from a trip to Casa-de-Campo a few years back. I'd be willing to offer a handful of lint from my...

It was on the Bring-A-Trailer website several months ago. http://bringatrailer.com/2009/08/14/euro-yard-sale-augusta-sc-80s-car-stash/ People that had commented before had said the seller is a nice guy and fair to deal with.

I've been watching every jump all over eathother trying to be "the smartest guy in the room". THere appear to be two issues here. First, there's the always amusing argument over asking prices. Second, the argument is complicated by some random perfect engine bay photo poached from...

Chicane, may I now join you in the chorus of laughter? that engine bay looks like mine! i.e. a driver worth no more than between $15-$20k.

I guess I was confused by the engine bay picture posted earlier (which although stunning does not belong to the car in question). From the one picture, aside from the red door panels, the interior looked fairly stock...and nice. Maybe $30k is a lofty goal, but still not laughing territory.

What's wrong with the price? I agree with Jay, since when is $30k completely unreasonable for a near perfect example? Even with little no-harm Dinan mods, this car looks tight! I usually am standing tall right next to Chicane belly-laughing at asking prices, but not on this one. Even in...

LOL! Yep, this thread could turn ugly quick! glad you guys dove in head first, because I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to be the first guy..... BTW, it would be the LATE John Holmes.

in the description Seller states: "Own the worlds’ only M-6-powered 3.0 CS Coupe" He's kidding, right? Love the car (sans the fuel filler and Pep-boys camaro-esque tach). To be enjoyed and driven, but not at that price. True, probably couldn't be built properly for that money, but do you...

I rode KTM motorcycles for years and found them to be among the most well-engineered racing platforms available for non-factory-sponsored racers. Parts were not as readily avaiable and cheap as the Jap-bikes, but always loved KTMs. For you racing enthusiasts who prefer four wheels only, KTM...

prototypical used car lot run by a guy in a plaid sport coat ends up with a "#6" E9 and they suddenly think the car is a Lusso because they found some happy-talk on Wikipedia about E9s.

Time? Sorry if you had already mentioned the time and I did not pick up on it, but what is the time frame of the open-house? I'm considering attending (maybe w/ coupe if nice day).

....or to put it another way, it will take 33 years to work off the 2-trillion dollar debt if every household pays $100,000 in taxes per year. and what's the likelihood of every household even earning $100,000/year under the new regime? scary, hugh? My kids are 3 and will have to learn to say...

Shift indicator Seller claims it's a euro version PaulinPA-is yours a euro also? wondeering if the factory stuc them there or is was mandated by DOT when it was imported, sort of like the side market lenses. anyway, I'm thinking dedicated track car project for this puppy. Too many...

Not mine, no affiliation, just popped up on my eBay watch list. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW_W0QQitemZ120493864780QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item1c0dfe774c&BackToListReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fmy.ebay.com%2Febaymotors%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FMyEbayBeta Looks like it needs...

Get the F*** Out! are you kidding me? THis is easily "the best" joke on eBay I have ever seen. Better than the infamous "Jesus Toast" that sold on eBay, better than the guy who advertised his entire life on eBay (you could buy his identity and assume all his debts/assets). Love how he has...
