Still looking- lots of questions.
I am pretty sure I looked at this car in Florida about two months ago could be different. But looks very similar if it was had a bad respray and fresh back undercoat bubbling in a few of the usual places I had to pass since the price was too high for me and no AC
this car has a/c, or at least compressor + inside panel. not sure it works.
got a question for people who know 74+ euro models. do euro 74+ cars have the same trunk bracing that is in US cars? i realize that ours had the bracing for the 5mph bumpers ... but it seems odd to me that BMW would have produced 2 different toolings at the same time. i'm probably wrong ... but i am curious.
Euro coupes post 74
Post 743 euro coupes did not have the US bumper reinforcements in the trunk and front frame rails.

Yes it was in Florida and sold on ebay by a company called Hollywood investments. Now new owner has it up for basically what he paid for it. He left negative feedback for the seller saying "car was not as described despite assurances otherwise" It is now on Long island NY in the Hamptons. if I'm out there this week I may go take a look at it. will let you guys know if i do.
Cheers

Will you be heading out by helicopter or LIRR? Or, or the horror, a car via LIE.
Sold yesterday guys.....
15k buy it now.
15k buy it now.
we will see
we will see if the deal goes through. the new seller was not happy with it and his description was pretty much the same as the old seller he bought it from. to answer oneil's question, i would be driving but not on a friday or coming back on a sunday and not with my coupe. i use my NYC beat up LR discovery for such trips. costly on gas but rugged enugh for the lovely LIE which has many sections comparable to downtown Beirut in the 80's for sure.

i presume - bought by nobody you know?
I'm surprised
This looks like a pretty clean coupe, with the exception of the typical rust in the front fenders. The underside pics look great. Even the floor plugs seem to have retained their original crispness, indicating low rust). I know it's an auto, but how would you contrast this to the Maryland Euro coupe which appears to need significantly more body work.
I think this might have been a great buy at $15k.

yep John,
i think somebody spent a lot of time stripping the underside and recoating it. they also sprayed the rockers with the undercoating. ... and under the hood. when you look at the detail pix - the interior wood was horrible. the interior seats didn't match the door armrest. the recovering of the door panels wasn't so great. all across this car there was evidence of great care in some places, and seemingly no care spent on important places. in the detail pix it was at best a 10 footer. there was a tremendous amount of orange peel on the paint. its kinda like that lifestyle lifts commercial, where they shoot the original face neck very clear, then after the work they shoot the pix w/ a ton of fill light and a heavy filter on the camera so that you don't see the wrinkles.
i put up a post on it initially - right after the listing here ... but took it down after the detailed pix were linked to the ebay auction.
