Dick, I agree. I have been shilling Bavarias for decades to no avail. Now the good ones are snapped up fast at decent prices. One thing holding Bavarias back is the cost of restoring a rusty Bavaria is the same as a rusty Coupe. In the end the Coupe will return more, but never all, of your investment than a Bavaria. But we, the faithful, don't think about returns on our dollars, or investments.
I have typed this so often my fingers go on auto pilot: " A Bavaria is a Coupe with four doors. Certainly not as timeless or as beautiful, but other than the two extra doors Coupes and Bavarias are virtually the same car.
