So just this past September this 74 sold on BAT for $125k

I’ll go out on a limb and say that the current bid of $49k is less that half of what this 72 should sell for.
It’s gorgeous. Buckle up.

Can’t wait.
This one still has the side markers, speakers in the kick panels and the optional speaker delete. Just sayin''
My 74 euro coupe is far, far from original. Long-term I believe a completely original coupe, 2800 or CS will sell for much more than these two and mine. Both types are seeing hefty final bids. I am saying long term.
74 that sold for big bux had a seriously hi-po motor.
Definitely a beautiful car, but not sure about $100k beautify. May be if it had been painted and fully detailed underneath. Not too crazy about the burlwood. I'd ditch the Nardi since it doesn't match whatsoever. Petri of course would be appropriate.
72 is the best year IMHO for US cars.
I'm thinking...$89k RNM

Is the owner a member of the forum?
It is indeed his! It has aged fairly well but it still has a few issues.

Nice Car Chris! Thanks for sharing. Background looks like the central coast.
Yes, Targa California Drive last year and my wife at the Vintage in 2017.
The current owner clearly doesn't know E9s all that well as he didn't point out the rarity of the small red-handled screwdriver in the tool kit video

That is the only screwdriver in my toolkit. I’m going to sell it to fund my paint job.
I don’t think so. I know he owns Alpine A110s and a Lancia B20 GT. He knows a LOT about Alpines.
saw the bid - hope you get it Scott ...
Scott, I think your comment was appropriate. Hope you win the auction
