I think this is the best executed big bumpered e9 I’ve ever seen. I think it looks amazing! Not a fan of the bogus 3.5 csi VIN plate, or referring to the car as a CSI at all.

Looks great. No photos of the underside, no photos of the typical rust spots. Normally Canepa photographs the car while on a lift, and really details the undercarriage. Not sure why they didn’t with this car.

And the stance is perfect.

Karmann plate says 037 Fjord, now Alpineweiss.

And that killer 8:1 compression engine with the awesome 260* cam...............
So what if a bone stock csi has 12 more hp....

This was a friend of mines car. He sold it to Tim Allen through Canepa. My friend bought this and a Baikal Blue/ White 72 from a guy in Colorado. He stole both of them. Both cars are very well done.Open check book cars.It had a really nice white front spoiler on it.I think Canepa still has it and it comes with the car.Tim Allen paid 94 K back then, so I am sure it is not going to be cheap

First time I've seen body-color fender flares. I like them better than chrome.

Nice looking car. What happened to the front air dam? I think it looks better with it and it helps balance our the rear spoiler. Also, what's the little wood triangle between the speedo and tach, maybe covering up the hole from the automatic PRND21?

 

[mpgandco]

Spoiler comes with the purchase of the car as well as an extra set of matching Recaro Seats.I saw an invoice when my friend owned it and it was for 10K for the Stereo system and beautiful enclosure taking up half the trunk.I also like the spoiler better on the car

If Canepa is selling it, rest assured it's retail plus 50%....all his cars are way high priced

No one lost a word on the ill-fitting rear ‘ducklip’ spoiler!

Those aren’t the original flares though, rather some after market type.

Another similar type, car somewhere in Aus.

And the stance is perfect.

Agree, that stance looks great.

The only body colored original flares I've seen is on this CSL. Correct me if I'm wrong:

 

[Keshav]

Robert, At lest in this case the flares are original Csl. I haven’t sein this car before (thanks for posting) and yes, they’ve been painted over. Pity as the shiny ones are a distinct visual Csl sign.
