Restorer Nightmare - Ebay listing

[BMW-F1-Fan]

Note there is 90% tread remaining. The paint is even stated to be in fair condition. $15,000 of work and you would have a daily driver.

Ebay

The moss in the window seal is a nice touch too.

If anybody here buys it to er... restore. I'll buy the interior off you

If anyone here buys it you're automatically thrown off the island. The owner should pay someone to take that thing. = )

He is right though, we all know that tires are the single most expensive component of an E9 restoration.

Oh yes, restorer special, complete with authentic rust holes in the worst possible places.

Aaah, you guys are just sissies...

Chicks dig guys that can weld, and this is good practice.

Last I checked this had 14 bids. The shallow end of the gene pool is looking very crowded.

I actually drove this car when I went to pick up my CSL at the Little Garage.

As you can see from the pictures, the body is a disaster. The mechanicals, on the other hand are quite good. It clearly had a well maintained engine and the clutch/transmission were in excellent shape.

It also has some history behind it as it apparently belonged to one of the Kennedy family ( or family friend, I wasn't paying too much attention ).
Anyway, John Kennedy ( the younger one ) supposedly got a ride to the airport in this car for his fateful last flight...

Jackpot

I'll bet the Kuwaiti body guy who did the E9 / E28 cross that was on Ebay last week could work miracles with this car. The real question is what to cross it with?? :roll:

 

[Malc]

Ah....
Belonged to the Kennedy's
Oh dear...
That means it's lived in a nice salty environment like Cape Cod
Or even been driven off a bridge into salt water!

I'm I being politically incorrect here?

Maybe the guy who paid fifty-some-odd thousand for Jackie O's Bav would be interested. A matched set! For those who have no idea what I'm on about:

You may be politically incorrect, however, you are factually correct.
