THIS CAR HAS BEEN SOLD!
Long story with this car. If you want to know the history of the car its documented at www.oldbmw.com.
Long story short: I gave the car to a shop to do restoration work: strip, repair, paint. The shop owner went AWOL with the car. I could get him on text but he would not let me see the car or tell me where it was. He moved his shop and took the car with him without my knowledge. I had to get the police involved. They arrested and charged him with theft and recovered the car. So, here it is.
I am not going to move forward with the car after all this, unfortunately. So, as they say, my loss is your gain. He stripped the car down to some degree and then left it outside for some months, hence the surface rust.
You can read about the happening in this thread: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/my-1971-cs-might-be-dead-i-mean-really-dead.27860/ This thread has pictures of the car in the shop before it rusted.
I have a challenge with finding a place to store the car which is one reason I want to get rid of it. It's in a lot in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada which is the only place I could find for it that wouldn't cost me an arm and an leg. But its only for the short term.
This would be a great doner car and it's even a decent restoration candidate. It has the usual rust in the fenders, which was supposed to be part of the restoration. The car is pretty much complete as you can see. It has the electric windows and sunroof and Petri steering wheel. The funky OEM Philips stereo is also include.
I live a 2 hours drive away - on the day I scheduled to take these pictures, it started snowing heavily so I apologize about all the snow. it was very difficult to take pictures in that weather. I then cleaned up all the snow, wiped the car down after the snow stopped and tarped the car up.
There were no problems with the engine and drivetrain and I drove the car on a regular basis before I gave it to the shop. Because the car was sitting for a couple years, it would need the usual TLC before starting (fluides, lube the cylinders, clean out the carbs, refill and turn it over).
It is stitting in a lot in Niagara Falls. I am taking offers. You will have to come get the car. It is lien free, insured and has a legit ownerhship which I will sign over to you.
If you are intersted in the car, please PM me or email me at [email protected].
I am not able to go with you to see the car so base your interest/offer on the pictures and posts. I am a 4 hour return drive away so its a 5 hour proposition just to show the car.
Car is currently covered with tarp. I am not parting out the car at this time. $7500US or best offer for the lot.

Full photo gallery of the car in it's current condition: http://oldbmw.com/CS-for-sale/
I also have a large cache of spare parts, pretty much all original, some used, some new. The link to the detailed pictures of the parts is here An over-view pic as the bottom. http://oldbmw.com/CS-for-sale-parts/
THIS CAR HAS BEEN SOLD!
Note, at the bottom of the documents picture are 2 complete sets of 3.0CS stripes for the car.
All the spare parts and manuals pack up nicely:
