Baikal '72 Csi 48.000km

Hi guys,

Thought I share this one because I like to think that nowadays it isn't easy to find one in this condition.

Don't know what you guys think but to me this looks like a believable unrestored original.

Looks like a German market car that was sold to Italy. Rare for a German market car with A/C. Later window switches, black vents, windshield, etc. but it has to be at least 2nd paint and stuff gets switched out after almost 50 years. What sells me on the car? The pattern that is still visible on the underhood sound pads....it's a nice car!

Also noticed the window switched and wondered how they found their way in to this car.

Power windows were available for CSI’s. My CSI had power windows. I know from dismantling the car and removing the wiring that it was absolutely a factory install.

Hi Marcos ,

Agreed but not with this type of switches. I thought these were only used from '73 onwards. Below the once I would have expected to see.

looks very clean.... but can we assume rust free ???

Pretty easy to retrofit if you have the plugs for these newer switches

Switches and motors changed in Feb/Mar of 1973. I don’t think you can adapt those switches, it’s a two wire vs three wire thing. Or maybe not!

How many prongs are on the new switches vs the blades on the old style?

The wiring , as well as the switches are different before 73 . I think HB Chris is correct (as usual)!

the newer switches have 5 posts / the old ones (as you know) are 4 spades

I have these switches on my '71. They might not be original but they look it.
