Hello All -
*Update* Both coupes going to ebay this week....
I'm selling my 1973 BMW CS Automatic and 1971 CS (parts car only). I do not have a selling price but I'm willing to entertain offers. I will be selling the coupe complete as is. I'm not selling parts off the car, only complete. The car does not have an interior.
I bought the coupe in 2007 from a family in Sausalito, CA. I have been gathering information and tinkering with it on and off with it over the years. Recently, with the motivation of other coupe owners, I was finally ready to start rebuilding starting with body and paint. What I thought to be a small project has turned into more of a project that I am willing to move forward with. It would be a great project for someone with the drive to finish. The overall body is straight and complete complete with trim, bumpers, wheels, lights etc. The gas tank was also treated about four years ago. The car has all windows and exterior trim in good condition. The car does run and is driveable, but all fluids need to changed.
Here are the issues:
- The rusty rocker panel project is more than I expected and more than what I wanted to get into.
- After poking around the rear of the car was bondo repaired at some point in time.
- The spare tire well has rusted (not completely through in some points).
- Both front driver and passenger floorboards are rusted.
- Rust bubbles in both front fenders and doors. Rust bubbles on roof near automatic sunroof.
- The reverse in the automatic transmission is not functioning
I'm also selling my other coupe. I have a 1971 2800 CS (Salvage Title) sitting in my garage that was my parts car. The car was in an accident on the Golden Gate Bridge and the front and rear were totaled (pancaked, actually... *bonus the paint from the GG bridge is still there and will be included). The car was completely restored by the previous owner, who is a reputable restorer in Marin County, before it was wrecked. It had undergone a 5-speed conversion. The leather, interior, wood, dash, Nardi steering wheel, and carpets are in PRISTINE condition. There are also 16" Alpina's on the car (2 need to be repaired as a result of the wreck). Floorboards, rocker panels, doors, mirrors, engine bits, even down to the screws are in pristine condition. The previous owner spared no expense in restoring this e9. The car has no roof (SOLD IT). I considered holding on to this car just for the value of the interior.
It's possible I would sell them together just to make it easier on the future buyer. 99% of all parts needed for a restoration are between the two cars. I will not sell any parts off either cars, I am looking to sell complete as I want my garage clear. Please feel free to PM me for any questions or reasonable offers...
