1973 BMW 3.0 CSi (So Cal)

The photo of the passenger fender is all you need to know about this coupe, unfortunately.
move the comma over one to the left and about the correct price
So, it will be worth 88,000.00 once restored, OK but how much will it cost to restore it? My guess is 120,000.00
I'm going to dissent on this one... this may not be too bad a starting point if you want real CSi in a good color with what appears to be the original engine, ect.
It will need everything including wings but at least you're starting with that in mind and not figuring it out six months and several informed, bubble busting opinions later.
If you own this for 10k or less and you're willing to take it all the way the opening price is almost insignificant.

The price is low but-
It's the down time that hurts...
Two years before you get it back.

I suppose that this post confirms my jaded nature about these things. When a car was put away for an extended period, there has to be a reason. I don't subscribe to the idea that the car was perfectly good and the owner just decided to park it and then forgot about it for 3 decades. I suggest that something significant broke rendering the car worthless on the used car market and the cost to fix it was prohibitive. Fast forward 30 years and suddenly it is a barn find with a market value above zero. Time to clean out the garage..............
Did somebody on forum buy this one? It would be interesting to hear your plans.
I would... this car is a far better buy than most 25k "drivers" that in the end will need everything.
Give it two weeks and it will appear again with a new paint job and chances are being sold by a particular Beverly Hills seller.
If someone bought that car other than a dreamer with Bondo, an ergonomic steering wheel and wheels from a later 7 series waiting to get his hands on it, someone who sees the value of an honest CSI with the original motor no matter what it needs....
