Now this is one rusty rocker!

"Lots of potential"
 
and ... lots of cash going to the cancer doctor. and to anybody thinking about buying this, i hope you are current on your tetanus shot.
wow ... that's one coupe find that never had the protection of a barn or roof. who ever put that car on the lift had to be really careful that it didn't punch thru the floor.
 
I notice that the seller uses the words "...excellent original..." to describe this and other frighteningly decrepit cars in his inventory. English is my primary language and I am unable to fathom what he means by that phrase. Anyone have a clue?

...easy mistake Jeff. You need to use the inflection used by Mr Montgomery Burns when saying "excellent ".
 
It's hard to imagine where BHCC finds such consistently awful examples. You'd think, just by chance, that every once in awhile they would have a decent car on the lot. This poor coupe looks like it spent some time underwater - I've never seen a dash or steering wheel's wood rim look this bad:

It's a good reminder that the interior and rockers of my project car could have been worse. Thank you for the inspiration!

I've said it before and will say it again... BHCC must have discovered a sunken cargo ship full of cars and are slowing bringing them to the surface judging by the standard of many of their listings. I too have wondered where they keep finding cars and nearly all are in decrepit condition. In many many months of watching the market I have only ever seen them have one example that was a decent example for reasonable asking price... a 1973 3.0csi for 25k. Oddly when I called they warned of there being rust, yet it was litterally the best and lowest cancer car I have ever seen them with. It must be their standard disclaimer lol
 
It's kinda nice to see them putting all these old 'rust challenged' E9's up for sale. Strong reinforcement of the cachet and worthiness of the E9. Plenty of other old cars in such condition would just be sent to the crusher.

They buy them as nobody else will and therefore get them for next to nothing
