My good friend Ron I. owns several BMW repair shops here in Orange County and would like to sell his 1973 3.0S. I saw it today and think it is a pretty solid sedan that could benefit from some love from a new owner. It is Polaris and was repainted many years ago, Ron bought it in 2005 from Colorado. It was originally a San Jose CA car from the registration and has a believed 132K miles but it is obviously TMU. Paint has dulled and there is one scratch on the roof and one of his mechanics scraped the right rear fender on a post. The interior is amazing, flawless original headliner, seats have been redone in gorgeous blue leather, original carpets look very nice, rear seat headrests, door threshold trims, no cracks in the dash and it has a Becker Grand Prix stereo! The car is a four speed but Ron would include a five speed with shift platform to convert it. If you want him to install it that would be extra, I would drive it as is for now. Motor still has Zeniths and engine bay has lots of patina (Polaris turns gold with age for some reason here) and still has all of its original stickers. Wheels are Cromadora in great condition and the original steel wheels are included. He has the alu trim for the front windshield and front seat belts retractors have been hidden in the B pillar as was done beginning in 1974. It has been sitting in a corner of his shop for years and the photos will show that. If anyone is a serious buyer I will give you his contact info, he wants it to go to good BMW enthusiast’s home. I think it is worth $10-12K with the five speed which is worth at least $2K with the platform. I am not receiving anything for helping. (Why do iPhone pics not show up as taken?)
