WTB: 2800 / 3.0 CS or CSi - found.

[boonies]

A couple of members have suggested that I post what I am searching for, so thanks in advance for any information you pass along!

Model: 2800 or 3.0
Roof: While I prefer a slick top, a sunroof car will work!
Engine: Original or newer M30 is okay
Transmission: Manual
Other options preferred: Air conditioning, power windows
Color preferences:

1. Blue (Nachtblau, Atlantic, Arctis, Baikal, Fjord, others?),
2. Polaris silver
3. Chamonix white: Not preferred, but not out of the running
4. Green: Tundra, Agave (not sure this will fly with my wife though…

Condition:
Looking for a complete, solid car that we can drive and enjoy. Deferred maintenance and some repairs are fine, but we are not interested in a complete basket case or rusty project.

Location:
Not an important consideration, I am on the east coast of the US, but will arrange to inspect elsewhere including the EU.

Timing:
In the hunt now...stay tuned and thanks again for any leads you pass along!

Hi Lance,

It would help to have an idea of what your budget is.

Thanks-

I may know of a 2800 CS for sale, not cheap but a great car.

 

[teahead]

Under...$50k usd? More? Less?

regarding your budget that is.

Hi Lance, I have one automatic for sale and it come with a 5 speed to install at a later day. I have a few pics here and anyone is welcome for questions and purchase.

High risk for users looking to buy parts. If you post a WTB ad and someone contacts you via private message (Conversation) and they are a new user, BE AWARE OF SCAMS. They tell you they know someone that has the part and give you an email address to contact them. They'll show you what you want and take your money. CONTACT THE ADMINS IF YOU SUSPECT IT MAY BE A SCAM.

 

[Peter Coomaraswamy]

Agree with Chris, If you find a car here that you want to purchase be sure that the seller is a VERY frequent poster or is recommended by a seasoned member. There are some awesome deals out there but a PPI would be a must BEFORE any $$ changes hands. No harm intended BBoy.

 

[BBOY]

Sorry Guys, I should have post it at coupe for sale session. In a few weeks I'll clean it up a bit and try to post it again if time permitted or I might put in the five speed and a new paint job. Will see.

 

[floridabmx]

3.5, 5 speed perhaps?

Thanks to all for your suggestions and PM’s. I did find an e9 and made it mine. 1972 3.0cs, chamonix, manual transmission and in presentable shape, but as I have learned from watching all of you...the work is never done!

Congratulations and welcome to the club. Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Tell us more about your coupe! Did you add it to the Registry?

... and post some photos, for heaven's sake!

 

[boonies]

Thanks all, I will post pictures, just too busy getting my garage in order this weekend. I was going to post in the registry, but find my login information wouldn’t work. Will figure it out this week.

 

[boonies]

Well, between projects and the weather it took a while to snap a few shots. Over the past two weeks I clay bared the car, polished (medium & fine) and put a couple of coats of wax on. Here she is, registered with year of manufacture plates (1972), and with a long list of projects that I am starting to buy parts for (see questions re. upholstery in the e9 general discussion). Thanks again for your advice along the way, some already received and I know more to come!
