Which one would you buy (Alpina or a 98point original)?

alan,

I am partial to Peter's `73 in Tundra metallic, a rare color with a new interior, 5 speed, tool kit, and other bits. The interior is the same as the one in my malaga coupe and it gets lots of compliments. If it's a true `73 it now has the earlier bumpers which fit tighter and look great. One item is 14" wheels but those can be swapped easily. Since it will need paint at some point it should be a more affordable.

Guys I can't believe your actually having this conversation..Alpina vs Stock E9 !

The last Alpina car that this forum saw for sale was Carey Lida's former Alpina..being sold By Canepa Design, asking price was $500.000. Too even "think" that such a car exists at that price !

I think the potential buyer mentioned it was not an actual Alpina car but had Alpina parts installed.

Just reread the post it says......True Alpina car..with Alpina numbered badge !

Here it says it doesn't seem to be a real alpina and the price would have been way too low!

I got some photos from the owner. It looks like it's in great shape. But, it also doesn't look like a 'real' Alpina, but rather a car that has an assortment of Alpina upgrades. E.g. it's not a B2. That's too bad.

So, now the choice between the pristine 3.0CS and the really clean, upgraded CSi becomes more difficult.
