CSL sold for $85k at Broad Arrow Auctions

Ahhhh... this s the one that has visible "crinkles" (ie body filler) in many of the panels. Looks pretty, but as Chris said its gonna need a ton of love and money. Not a bad deal for a driver and king of the local car show bragging rights! :)
 
the more i look at this car, i understand why it took so long to get it sold. i'm thinking that @tferrer 's chamonix should have an easier time of reaching a better number.

I sure hope you are right! There's definitely different levels of drivers, and I'd like to think my car would drive much better but regardless that looks painful for the seller. All about who's in the room.
 
I was watching this car and figured it would be a steal. It’s a little rough but IMO a great car.

The carb CSL’s regularly under perform. I mean they are the lightest CSL and equally as rare as the batmobile. They just doing auction well. My personal favorite for many reasons. I’ve always considered them someone’s second CSL in a stable. One really needs to understand CSL history before these start to become alluring.

Bargain!
 
Agreed, @tferrer 's CSL has a better ownership provenance and it's overall condition is superior to the this one. So it should do well on BaT.
I wonder if the Broad Arrow CSL would have had a better result on BaT?
 
LOTS of crinkles in the body. Shame they a) didn't try to fix the body, which is a mess (including the doors and trunk don't look like the are properly fitted), and b) didn't bother to clean up the other parts: coolant tank, washer tank, air filter, door switches.. No number on the Karmann plate (?). Looks pretty slap dash to me.
 
Friends, I'd like to point out that this car was in Canada two years ago, sold for 245,000. Then a few months ago it appeared in a private sale at Broad Arrow for 235 or 245, I don't remember exactly. It was then withdrawn and listed in the Asta le Quaglie catalogue with an estimate of 160-180. In my opinion, the owner was persuaded to sell without a reserve. The result? It created a game of Russian roulette for the seller, only the coup killed him. How many of us are pissed off for not being registered to bid? RHD wrecks have sold for prices above 85,000.

I guess if you want a CSL to actually drive (on a kind of regular basis) - $85k (plus fees/taxes and such) isn't too bad.
I wouldn't be afraid to do so if I didn't have my car already.... Well, @sfdon has my car (again) right now ... LOL
 
Supposedly the early CSL cars never had CSL badge or the stripes CS badge yes, and only 169 unit were made before the late 1972 cars came with fuel injection, according to Google AI....
 
yes, the early carb CSL did not have the CSL badge. not sure if any of the 169 did or not. stripes definitely came later as did air dams.

Love your second CSL comment...
That car was a bargain. You would struggle to build it for that. Carb cars are still underrated but their time will come. Can't recall when we saw a really good one on the auction block. The best ones sell off market I'd suggest.
