Hey guys, Im brand new to "joining" the board (I've trolled around looking at the classifieds from time to time) and I am really interested in this particular E9.
I probably should do this in the Introduction forum but IM really into this Facebook NorCal car so I'd love to get all of your opinions.
A little bit about me… So I've had a Buick Grand National (super clean and stock only 22k miles) for the past 4 years and a few months ago it was stolen from my gated parking lot in Los Angeles. Anyway I got a car to whip around town just temporarily…an old boxy jeep cherokee, i know not great but awesome because i have a daily driver, which allows me to get another fun weekender.
Ive always loved the e9 and periodically look for them on ebay or on the e9 forums. I have been looking also looking for 60's porsche 912 or 911 too, but no matter what i always come back to the e9.
Here's my thing, I'm not very mechanically inclined, my car knowledge is limited to say the least and i was looking for just a pretty good turnkey driver, that well sorted and could just maintain. Like I wouldn't mind a little patina and am certainly not looking for a concours type car, but I just don't want to get into a big restoration project. After seeing this car I'm wondering if might be light enough for me to handle and throw a few thousand bucks into and have it be exactly what i need it to be, which is fun weekend car that i can cruise in and maybe occasionally track (Very rare).
Anyway Im a super novice when it comes to these cars and all opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Josh
