Guys,
I might need to sell off my E9 parts collection (and maybe the car as well).
I've always said I'll never sell my E9, but recently a vintage race car I thought to be out of reach has popped up for sale and I am seriously thinking of selling all my E9 stuff to fund the purchase.
I'm soliciting opinions on the market value of these parts
(1) a set of 4 mint BBS RS 16" staggered wheels w polished lips (BBS caps)
(2) a set of 4 restored-to-perfection 16” staggered Alpinas. These were restored by Mike Burger as part of his parts cache but then he sold them to me. Never mounted/used. As new.
(3) rebuilt 5spd CR dogleg gearbox and a used 3.07 LSD from an early euro 635CSI
(5) pair of Scheel-Mann 501 seat in excellent condition. One is perforated blue vinyl and one is in the stock blue cord. One need to be recovered to match the other.
(6) NIB ceramic coated Stahl headers from the group buy about 4 years ago.
(7) Real, genuine Alpina triple carb intake system in good to VG condition (does not incl the carbs so you can go 40's or 45's depending on if you have a 3liter or 3.5/3.7liter motor). I also have the air cleaner bracket that is spot welded to the inner fender. Comes with a modified thermostat housing.
(8) 1 complete bumper set in stainless set (front is a repro of a 73 and rear is a repro of a 72). These are on my car and fit fine. It's just weird that you need the plastic end-adapters for the front but the rear mounts directly to the body (no extender brackets). I actually think it's looks pretty good this way. Rub strips included but no rear under-riders and no in-bumper lights. No front brackets (they're stay on the car).
(9) an OEM front/rear bumper set in chrome/steel (VG but not quite up to excellent condition). Includes nice rear under-riders (w/o rubber, just the metal). No rub strips, no mounting brackets.
(10) Rear trim piece between the tail lights, w integrated Euro fog light (this is an anodized aluminum piece).
(11) Alpina B9 motor, completely rebuilt from stem to stern by Mario at VSR1. Zero hours, still in a big plastic bag in my garage. You can get a new set of Spain Weber DCOE 45's for about $1250.
(12) L/R front grills - from a 1974. Average condition (bright work needs sanding and polishing to remove pitting).
(13) pair of old tail lights: good for restoration
(14) E9 - this is a separate discussion
Thanks for any opinions, criticisms, encouragement.
