What a gorgeous car! Forum member in on the bidding.

No the Red Handle Screw Drivers? Could be a deal breaker

I think said forum member has a soft spot for Sienna.

I think said forum member has a soft spot for Sienna.

I met him at The Vintage in NC a few years ago.
I am rooting for him.

Definitely better condition than the 73 Polaris that just sold for $84k.

However, not everyone is as enthusiastic about the color, but I think it looks stunning.

Those of us who "adulterated" our cars with 3.5Ls and 5-speeds will be bookmarking this. But just to ask, badge says CSi, documentation and US gauges say CS, right?

The color alone makes it worth more IMO... Polaris is nice but in today's word, 90% of the cars on the road are silver, black, or metallic gray.

No sooner does one sell and another e9 right behind. Just listed and already some serious action $75k. The pictures and details on the restoration are very well done. Look forward to watching the progress on this beauty.

And all those VRS1 receipts. They do great work from what I hear...and it looks like it.

 

[rsporsche]

not my favorite color, but this appears to be a good looking coupe in very good shape. @ablank135, its a US model its NOT a CSi. there are US bumper braces. it has a VSR engine build. that's a great pedigree. that puts it in the same category as Carl Nelson, SFDon and only a few others.

Yes, all detailed in the description. When the seller mentions the side markers were removed.

Already at $75K! The car is stunning. Sienna can look so good when the paint's fresh but looks like sh-t if it's not.

vshamiryan has some money since he sold his F430 I guess w/that slam bam bid.

 

[Drew Gregg]

Very nice car with much attention to detail. Has the car been lowered? How does the 3.5L engine's air cleaner housing get fresh air?

 

[HB Chris]

To get clean air the intake pipe needs to be cut off and rotated to match the firewall opening. Not everyone does this, sfdon does.

vshamiryan has some money since he sold his F430 I guess w/that slam bam bid.

...and he's spent $700k since July 28, so he's not exactly working the trade-in deal...

 

[Drew Gregg]

Here's what we did to that clean air snorkle on my car. No need for it with triple DCOE 40's.

E9’s are white hot again.

He’s on a shopping spree
