Tundra Green CSi on EBay

[snj5]

It is a Hunting Ridge car, green with tan interior, 4 speed.

Is anyone familiar with this car?

Thanks!

yes, I sold it to Mark earlier this year. He has done a lot of work on it and make it very nice.

Thank you. Do you recall the corrosion in the body? It looks nice otherwise.

About to pull trigger on this CSi. Any advice ?

Nice looking car. Curious how much it will sell for, very similar to mine

 

[snj5]

Bang.
Looks like I will be a CSi owner soon.


Will do board search, but any quick advice on 16" tires?

tires

Got Dunlop Direzza Star Specs on both my cars. Great tires.

No longer on ebay, how much did it go for?

Sent the money to Mr. Starr today; The little green injected car is mine. Part of the deal was to put in a 5 speed, so expect delivery in a couple of weeks.
This is really a dream car for me ever since the 70s. All advice on ownership sincerely solicited.

Keep it dry!
Other than that, these cars are foolproof. And I am a fool, so I speak from experience. I have a four speed, and I would love an extra gear.

The 5 Speed is a huge improvement!

I have an E9 with a 4 Speed and on the highway it is almost as obnoxious as my 1971 280SL!

On the highway at just normal speeds (70-80mph) both cars are screaming at almost 4,000RPM... The 280SL has very little sound proofing and it sounds like it is going to explode, unfortunately my E9 sounds almost as bad...

I often find myself checking to make sure that I am not stuck in 3rd gear. My 3.0CSi has a 5 speed and the difference is absolutely amazing...

The CSi is a MUCH nicer car to drive and not just because of the extra power...

One thing about a 4 speed is that once you cross 4000 RPM and really get the 6 wound out, it is kinda serene. My experience with this is from a ride I had about 40 years ago in a 4 speed Coupe doing up to 110 MPH from Montreal to Toronto. (Thanks for the ride Mr Bowen)
