I'm still tinkering with it, but I'm at a good stopping point that may benefit both me and the next buyer, who should be someone who has always wanted an E9 but can't afford $13k for a car that's advertised as rust-free but probably isn't anyway. A crushingly complete description, with 150 high-res pics, can be found at http://www.robsiegel.com/3.0cs/1973 BMW 3.0cs ad2.html.
$7000 will buy it. I thought I'd try floating it here before subjecting myself to the vagaries of eBay. I might get that on eBay; after all, that 3.0CS that'd sat for 19 years, had a seized engine, and a rust situation described only as:
"Rust is in and around the front fenders. The right side rust is near the shock tower / top edge of fender ... and the left side seems to run along the inside edge of the fender. The rear, trunk and nose look good."
just sold for $6877 (see http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd...184185&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1158wt_589).
I think you'll agree that no one has ever posted a more thorough, more honest description of an E9 than I have in this ad, and with that thorough a description comes a reduction of the risk inherent in buying an E9 with any amount of rust.
Serious interested parties can reach me at 617-365-eight three oh three from 9am to 11pm EST. I like to talk about cars as much as the next guy (actually I like to talk about cars WAAAAY more than the next guy), but please, read the description first, and try to keep calls and questions specific to the car.
The car is here at my house in West Newton, MA.

I've had three Viggens before (2x blue, 1x yellow).
