I like the price it's getting so far

The fuel line is really unbelievably…
Fuse #4
Oh whoops..
That fuse just turned the car’s wiring harness into a fuse.

Yes, and remember resistance is highest at the ends of the wires. If you find one end melted, you need to go and check the other end. Ask me how I know...
Hmm, there seem to be 'new' standards for modern torpedo fuses. I'm looking at #8 and its really wide fusible element. And maybe #9 too.
And that middle spade connector on the right under the fuse box has gotten hot at some point.
Common Old European (Torpedo/GBC) Fuse Colors
Based on typical vintage European vehicle standards (DIN), the colors indicate the following amperage:
• White: 8 Amp (often used for lighting)
• Red: 16 Amp
• Blue: 25 Amp
• Yellow/Black: 5 Amp (sometimes used, check specific car manual)
Alternative/Aftermarket Torpedo Fuse Sets
Some, often modern reproduction, torpedo fuse kits follow a different color scheme:
• Beige/Light Brown: 5A
• White: 8A
• Red: 10A
• Blue: 16A
• Yellow: 25A
• Black: 40A
It’s all a mess- look at the distorted aluminum at fuse 7
We only use copper in the shop.
Fuse 4 is either 200% or 300% over the design capacity of it’s circuit.

so with 1+ hours to go, this one is sitting at 82k. current leader bought a fjord 74 for 100k in november. has also bought a lot of car signs, a pantera and a hellcat
$120k and counting....
Hammered at $140K
Wow, seller reputation boosted a $85k coupe.
Nice to see the market recovering for our favorite ride. And this one still needs some "sorting". Congrats to SuhATL!
Style trumps(no pun intended) substance once again...
Hopefully your stellar reputation in the community can do the same for @pickman's ride! His is in better condition than this one, but clearly some very nicely done photos helped push this one the extra miles.
I hope so too and we still have the Turkis CSi which will be posted first, hopefully Jan/Feb.
great quality cars, well presented should do just fine. here is an average car well presented that overcame its 'averageness' and brought home a number bigger than it should have. oh well, if the buyer really is in ATLANTA, maybe he will reveal himself.
That was what I figured would happen. Makes me realize that when/if I let the E9 or Mustang (or maybe the E23) go, will see about having someone market it for me in order to get max value.... Probably...
