Wrong seats always give me pause... on second thought, this doesn't look like a 2nd gen CSi given the seats, steering wheel, kidney grill, spare, ect... Too bad.

Another example of the car (there are so many) with new paint and polished chromes with some other parts kept old and dirty.

It is so amazing that it is not preserving the car's natural state and the parts which are kept ugly are really cheap in comparison to body, paint and man-hours spent on the car.

Seats don't look great either way…

2265029, 1973 build date so yes it is pre-facelift.

Starting to think there are just as many Ceylon cars as Polaris.

So does that mean the interior is correct? I.e. seat and door panel patterns?

 

[teahead]

did they paint over the undercoating?

1974 BMW 3.0CSi 4-Speed | PCARMARKET

Designed by Wilhelm Hofmeister and produced from 1968 to 1975, the BMW E9 was a series of grand touring coupes whose legendary racing counterparts enjoyed success throughout the European Touring Car Championship. This fully restored 1974 example is a BMW 3.0 CSi finished in Ceylon Metallic...

NMNA. Do we know this one? Seems to be represented/flipped/consigned from a "collection" in Atlanta. Not in the registry. Looks of Italian provenance, but no history. Lots of identifiable issues and zero history provided.

 

[ablank135]

Ah, thanks for the thread consolidation. I THOUGHT I'd seen this before.

i have never seen this car while it was in ATL. i presume it was the guy who tried selling several e9's on BaT last year or so. as i remember, all of them didn't clear the Reserve

The high bidder in March in the Granatrot coupe who backed out after bidding $125K, says his 12 YO nephew must have done it and was banned from BaT after coughing up $5K bidders fee. Owns a pizza place in Atlanta.

It's original color is Sienna Brown as i see on the tag on the A post

As Meatloaf sang, it's all coming back to me now.

For those still tracking this unit and remains of theonlyone's collection, it was RNM at $63,000 on PcarMarket just now. It's in the DealTank section still for sale at $115k. Methinks the purchasing dealer in Michigan didn't know what he was getting his hands on with this one.

It might be good to (as a service to the general population) that we keep an eye on these cars and whatever venue they are offered at and.... provide the proper feedback.
Just a thought....
