Thought I'd share because there's been some E21/323 chatter recently.
NM/NA, but just drove it.
Interesting car, original Hartge motor gone but has a clean replacement M20. Nice Euro (Hartge) Interior with euro gauges/dash/gauge pod with the C/R dog-leg 5spd and LSD there. Lots of paperwork, including original Hartge conversion/order info.
Drove and braked straight, runs nice. Cold start no problem. Nice driver or you can deal with the nits/repaint and take to another level. Has some minor rust isuues but nothing too scary IMO. Young seller seems like a nice guy, forthcoming and knowledgeable.
This E21 323i is CA legal.
It was on BaT recently in which seller said he had 'challenges' w/ the platform trying to respond to questions (BaT has new 24hr response approval?!)
