Hi all. As you noticed I have handed the car off to Brad Goldstone at SFSC to handle the sale of the car. For those of you who don't know Brad, he's a stand-up guy who is a car buff first and a high end dealer second. If you live near the Bay Area it's worth a trip to see his inventory and to...

The car has just been listed for sale in the classified section.

I'm out of storage space and need to put my restored '73 CS up for sale. The restoration was completed in 2008 and the car now has a 3.5L engine, fuel injection, sunrooof and many other tasteful upgrades. There is a rather comprehensive thread on the restoration of the car, the upgrades, and...

Car was running rough upon it's arrival but was to be expected as it was coming from high altitude. With the help of Don Lawrence we diagnosed that the car has "issues" with the engine. Most of the problems were with the carbs and electronics although we're not yet certain that we know the...

Thanks for the nice comments. I will answer the questions that I can, but because the PO restored the car, I don't have all info or may get some wrong. 1. The springs are from Carl Nelson 2. The steering wheel is a Nardi 3. The wheels are from Peter at Coupe King 4. I don't know what the brake...

Here are recent finished photos, including a couple with the car's younger cousin. There are a few open items that need tending and I'll be looking forward to using the collective wisdom of the board to sort them out.

For the engine, the original block was in rough shape, as you saw in the prior pictures. The restoration goal was to keep the car close to stock in appearance, so while the replacement engine is a rebuilt 1982 M30 Euro spec 3.5L, it is still carbed. This engine is mated to a 1982 Getrag 265...

Here are more pictures of the frame and body. How does this car look as a restoration platform based on what you can see?

I bought the car already restored and I assume that the person who restored the car paid very little for it in its unrestored form. Here are pictures of the car as the onion was unpeeled....

I'm new to the board and found the experience and knowledge of the members incredibly helpful in my E9 education and car seach. I wanted to find a restored car and after about two months of looking found what I believe is a great car with a nice story. I thought I'd share the story and...

I just spoke with AAA and they said that their classic car policies aren't available until after August 1. I'm in NoCA, not sure if that makes any difference.

Thanks for the lead. PM sent....
