All-
Thinking I am going to put my 73 Ceylon 3.0cs up for sale. Wanted to float it here first before going to BAT or Hemmings or something.
The car is at Carl's shop in La Jolla. After I bought it from Peter, Carl put in a 3.5 engine and 5 speed tranny, upgraded a/c. New exhaust, rebuilt diff. I got a little carried away detailing it and correcting things. Original radio, no sunroof, all tools including pink Beru plugs, new leather interior.
Zero rust. Zero. Car has not been out of CA- it was in Bakersfield its whole life before Peter bought it and took it to Santa Rosa. I have kept it in San Diego since I bought it, but registered it in FL since I am active duty Navy and did not have to pay sales tax that way.
I have every receipt since the car was new, including the $50k Peter spent on interior and paint, and owner's manual and maintenance book.
Car was featured in Bimmer magazine, Feb 2008 with cover photo and four page write up.
Others here on the forum have seen it and know the condition. It has been parked in Carl's showroom for a few years since I transferred.
Once I figure out how to post photos I will get some up.
Email sincere interests/offers. Fire away with any questions. I have not settled on asking price, but it is one of the nicest ones around as others here can attest.

Well, if you can't sell it for what you want- you can always drive it, I'm sure if Carl's place did the work it's bullet-proof. I believe saw the car there a while back and it looks even better in person, it's hard to believe it's not a new car. Best of luck finding a new care-taker, it should not take long-
