73 Cs - Craiglist Chicago

[TG-2002-320i-328ci]

Any thoughts on this one?

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/ctd/2528745947.html

I wrote the seller and received a few more photos.

• Navy interior - lots of cracking and tears
• Automatic
• Engine compartment is a bit dirty
• Some bubbling on the trunk - especially near the 3.0cs numbering

I'm looking for a restoration candidate (and prefer a 5 speed CSi with sunroof) - $11,000 seems quite high.

There was a few CSI’s around $6,000 to $8,000 on here a few months ago. Not much to look at although both CSI’s were for less than $11,000 and restoration projects. See photos.

An ad with no words and only two photos? Pretty bullish!

Hello, everyone. My first post.

This is the same car that is on the bimmer forum (mislabeled 1793) and posted here a week or so ago.

I contacted the seller about a month ago. She sent me more pictures, but had not decided on a price. It was at the shop, no mention why, but I don't think it was for a restoration.

It is an automatic, carbs, bad front seats, and some rust. Also looks like the front bumper is down on the passenger side. Engine compartment picture look very oxidized. Paint looks nice-ish compared the engine bay, bubbling paint on the trunk lid, not sure what is hiding bellow.

She finally sent me her asking price, $29k. I was floored, thanked her for her time and told her I would pass. Must not have found anyone else that would take it at that price.

I never did get the VIN or pictures of the sills, floor and finders. I can share pictures if someone wants too see them.

CSi Wanted

Well - count me as someone who wants to buy a CSi or CS restoration project. I'm 40, no kids, no wife, and make a good living. I don't like boats so I guess I need to blow some money on something and I have wanted a 3.0 since I was 16.

I've bid on several of the recent Ebay CSi's - most recently that beautiful blue one that was owned by a Disney employee.

However, that car was almost too nice. I would prefer one with a low-rust body and not concerned about the engine as I am thinking of retro-fitting a more modern engine into the car.

No, I am not a purist by any means.

Good luck with the search, California is the place to look for it.

PS: I was almost tempted to say marry me...
