pristine 74 3.5 csi in No Cal

Let me get this straight. A 74 3.5CSi. How come the big bumpers from a NYC bus? How come no rear fog light? How come the rear reflectors are still there? There is no such thing as a 3.5 CSi.
The photos are almost toooo perfect. Do I smell Photo Shop?
Someone put an awful lot of misdirected money into this car, in my opinion!
 
It is the 290th `74 U.S. automatic and somebody dropped in a 3.5 injected motor. Didn't you see the fog light under the rear bumper? Ooops, it is a third stop light! If it's as good as the pics it is a very nice looking coupe.
 
3.5 csi?

I should have put "3.5 csi" in quotes.
Someone did a nice drivetrain transplant in this car.
The big bumpers look a lot better when pulled close in to the body, particularly on a white car.
The seller is a specialist in very high end cars, in particular Porsche 959s.
Very curious to see what price this one gets. Note the blue California plate. This car came from Colorado, I believe. Is this a bit of deceptive advertising, to lull one into thinking that this is a "California car"?
 
Price

Insane in the membrane.
On the other hand, one of their clients may come in to look at a $450k Porsche 959. and leave with a "cheap" e9. If they can sell this car for anywhere north of 50k, then there are probably many on this site ready to let Canepa sell their car! 95K is nuts, particularly for a car that they bought for 30k and then redid the interior leather seats for maybe 5 k and then added some alpinas. A car like this (a former USA CS automatic) is worth less than the sum of its parts, not more!
 
Wow what a surprise!!, Bruce Canepa asking way too much for a less than legitimate car..... having said that, coupes are very under valued in my opinion, and will rise in value sooner rather than later.
