1973 3.0cs "Fixer Upper"

It's up for auction, no date set yet (it's been there for a while). Who is brave enough to restore it? You can list it as rust free on ebay when done ... or possibly just salvage a bunch of screws ....

Saw this one was updated on the registry so I guess some already know about it. $46k was the insurance payout ... hopefully the owner was appropriately compensated.

Odometer status: burnt!

Based on the ACV it was probably pretty nice. There's a VIN for Stan... 2240496

If it wasn't so far gone, it would be fun to make a pit car out of it for the Bonneville Speed Week. It would be nice to drive an E9 and not have to worry about it rusting.

My side hurts from laughing

Seems like all the coupes available for sale lately are rusty pieces of crap. And this one is no exception!

That was my neighbor's car, the trumpet player.

How many times do I need to ask not to practice after midnight.

Ouch! Graphic is right! I wonder what the story on that is?

Maybe that's what the green-tipped hose is for on Luigi?...fire suppression? Sorry for the post mix...

$52,000 estimated repair cost? Really? Maybe that's for the CD and radio :lol:

That's what I was thinking too. Would have been handy to have on this car. :lol:

Might be able to re-chrome those bumpers

Imagine if it had been bagpipes!
