Perhaps a project for someone with solid body restoration experience.
It is also on BAT.

Only 537 ever produced and 1 ends up in Rio Linda,Ca.If you ever been there you would know what I mean.

if only we all had unlimited resources and we could afford to restore and save a car like this. you don't often see a 3200cs.

a friend told me once.... "the italians invented rust, then the germans perfected it"
this car seems to have the best of both worlds...
those are beautful cars and are worth saving at any dollar figure...

This was rotting away ... seemingly for years, in the Pacific Northwest, and sold a year or so ago (from Craigslist???) for...about 10 grand?? (probably less.)

Now on eBay, its bid to 40k??? "Buy it now" for 80?!?!

If any "auction" is proof that people (read:bidders) use eBay as an anonymous playground, this is it. "I want to see what he's asking" just adds to the goofiness that has become our hobby.

the way i heard it along time ago ... karmann invented rust, then licensed it to the italians.

With the utra rare 'pistol grip shifter'. I guess BMW beat Mopar to it by a few years.

Never been to Rio Linda. Explain please.

Interesting but reminds me of an Opel, the four seat 1960s Manta? And then there was the two seat sports car called the ??
