Automatic but maybe a good donor?
EDIT: This car is too nice for a donor. Needs to be saved...

I need to hear from Livia what she did to this car. The outside looks like it was in a marsh, but the inside just looks old car bad.

I think I caught something just looking at the pictures.
Sold for $950
I kind of love this car - despite the steering wheel.

I was forever done with that color when my last kid was potty-trained.
To a large extent, I am looking past the color, too.
But easy to spot in a parking lot!
And I can't say with certainty that the color isn't part of what I like about this car. If it were in my neighbor's yard with a sale sign on it, it would be in my garage.
is it Ceylon?
kinda looks like it. paint is oxidized, hard to tell if its colorado or ceylon. generally ceylon becomes more brown gold with oxidation.
Well, now I like it even more.
1973 3.0 S Bavaria. I think this car is a diamond in the rough. Besides the interior it looks really solid.
This one is interesting as to how and why it is there.
Copart/IAA used be a high percentage of insurance salvage, now it might be 50% at best. They run most of the donation programs and have an entire division of sales guys trying to getting dealers and private sellers to sell at the auctions. When I see a car like this I assuming the seller is trying to get the international buyer that uses the process Copart has to get vehicles shipped out of the ports. Much harder to do through an eBay/BaT auction.
