certaintly hope it's not headed for the scrap yard!
Lot of heavy lifting still required, but looks like it is still very viable.

I think it's a "no reserve" auction, so somebody should throw thier hat in the ring.

It seems like a decent roller and it seems like he has all of the bits to finish her off (although I have no idea what the condition of the parts are. It looks like the body is mostly done. You could sell the parts and make her a decent track car or finish it off. I do think $3500 is too much for an opening bid.

Like everything else, it depends on the buyer and his skills and desire to sink valuable time + money. For me- Deal maker/breaker would be rockers.....Nothing detailed there. Everything else looks economically manageable at that price level. However, I'm not sure it'll even get the first bid of $3500. Hope I'm wrong.

Barrett-Jackson Fantasy bids anyone? Should win someone decent bragging rights here.

Who needs trim? Chop, channel, shave, french, add LS1, couple of gussets here and there, candy color..... You only live once.

I like the bit about it needing "coarse paint".

Were e9's built as late as 1976? Did European delivery cars still have chrome bumpers in 1976?

For around $3,500, this car could be an OK deal for someone who values their time in the pennies per hour range. It looks like a huge project, but a lot of parts are shown and no obvious rust is visible in the pictures.

First thing that comes to mind is $1,500-$2,000 worth of Alpina rims (assuming they're not knock-offs and aren't banged up too badly).

So somebody pays $2,500 (plus $1,000 shipping allowance), so say $3,000 all-in for a rolling shell and driveline after hocking the Alpinas. Can anyone find a rolling shell cheaper?

Yeah, I don't think I'd want to complete the build from this point, but there value there somewhere.

My thoughts exactly. I get the impression that it is a complete car though I am not crystal clear on that point. A non-runner that looked relatively complete sold on Ebay recently for similar money and it needed everything?
I am finding that pricing e9 is very difficult.

David (Bertocchi) here and I have discussed value somewhat via PM...and after a long week with my lawyer discussing 'intrinsic proof' as opposed to 'extrinsic proof' I think the same applies here...The latter being the amount actually paid upon sale and the former being just how badly ones wants a date with the 'lady'...and how far one will go to get that date...!

Don't think so?

If your lawyer was billing you by the hour for that fluff it may end up exceeding the price tag of any date with any lady :).

In most instances, when someone gives the date of a car, they are referring to the license/registration date. There seem to be lots of instances where cars were registered after the year they were built, especially expensive cars as E9s were when new.

All E9s except 1974 US models had chrome bumpers, regardless of where they were sold. The '74 US cars were the odd ones. All US cars except the '74s had chrome bumpers.

I tried to contact him after the auction ended and I guess he is not interested or sold it to someone else?
