Oregon: '73 CSI - $15K OBO

[Markos]

Not mine.

I'm not sure what to think if this one. The $15K car seems like the worst price bracket. You get all of the problems of the sub $8K car with none of the refinements of the $22K+ car. I fee like it's over priced but I think the ugly interior is the only thing steering me in that direction. No money shots so who knows.

This looks like a euro model based on the interior. No sunroof means less leaking. No side markers which is nice (assuming they weren't filled poorly). I think that it is worth a look!

Based on the color and location, I thought it was a cleaned up version of this car. I was wrong.

One question: What is this sharky green (Taiga?) 70's thing behind the coupe? The seller appears to be a bmw hoarder.

Spoke to Seller

The guy claims (in broken English) to have purchased the car in the last year and a half. Said there is light surface rust on a fender, I believe, but the shock towers are strong. He is agreeable to send it for prepurchase inspection.

Is anyone close to Beaverton to view the car?

I would look at it if I was closer (I'm in Seattle).

Shame it's stored outdoors.

What's the deal w/the rear antenna? Euro only?

Dealer discretion...

 

[adawil2002]

The antenna is in the same location on my CSi and Art Wegwieser's too.

Yes, mine too. Maybe a Euro thing but I thought DQ's was front right?

Is that 3788 KM correct? or has it gone 'round at least once?

Based on the leather damage on the steering wheel, I would think it rolled twice. That's 126K miles. I have the same wheel with $4K miles on the odometer, and it looks nothing like that wheel. I titled my car with 104K...

Is it me or is there no fog light in the rear? Thought that was on all Euro cars?

Only on Euro cars delivered to Germany. My CSi was delivered to Italy and has no rear fog. So not all Euro cars have a rear fog.

 

[Markos]

Still for sale...

Must be a rot box.

 

[CSteve]

My CS delivered to Italy has the rear fog.

Well it looks like this car will end up in LA. Maybe checkered Flag? It was spotted on the freeway today.

 

[uter]

Good spotting!

 

[Markos]

Man no car slips through the cracks on this forum. We'll find her again!

 

[CSteve]

Parked on the freeway. Was there time to get out and snap a few dozen photos? Easy to shoot the underside. Climb up and check out the interior. And still wait half an hour to move 20 feet. Ah, the freeways.

 

[digixjairo]

It was on the 10 freeway and the 405. Notorious for it's terrible traffic.

Possibly Beverly Hills Car Club, which is the final common pathway for derelict European cars!
