Vehicle Detail

THIS A VERY EARLY FUEL INJECTED E9, THE 772ND EVER BUILT .IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS AD, YOU PROBABLY KNOW HOW DESIRABLE AND RARE THE 3.0 CSI IS, AND HOW MUCH THEY HAVE BECOME PREMIUM COLECTOR CARS, BUT YOU MUST ALSO KNOW HOW MUCH OF A RUST TRAP THEY CAN BE, THESE CARS ARE COACH-BUILT AT KARMANN IN GERMANY WHO DID A BEAUTIFULL PIECE OF ART ON WHEELS BUT ALSO SOMETHING THAT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP RUSTFREE. THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE BEING AN ITALIAN IMPORT HAS VERY SOLID SRUCTURES, THE ONLY RUST YOU CAN SEE ON THE FLOOR , SUBFRAMES AND SILLS IS SUFACE, EXCEPT FOR A 2 INCH PERFORATION ON THE LEFT REAR FLOOR AS WELL AS ONE IN THE SPARE TIRE WELL WHICH OTHERWISE IS PRETTY SOUND, THAT HOLE MUST COME FROM A TOWING DEVICE RIPPING OFF A HOOK OR SOMETHING, AS FOR THE OUTER PANELS, THERE IS A PERFORATION ON THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER REAR QUARTER PANEL, A;LITTLE ONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT FENDER AND THE REST IS ONLY PAINT PEELING WHICH BY THE WAY SEEMS TO BE THE ORIGINAL ONE, IT IS FADED AND CRACKED AND WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED THE DRIVERS DOOR IS RUBBING ON THE FRONT FENDER WHEN OPENING. THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR GLASS WAS BROKEN BY VANDALS. THE CHROME IS GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE FENDER AND HOOD GRILLS, THE BUMPERS HAVE A FEW DINGS AND SOME IMPACT STRIPS NEED TO BE REPLACED THE NOSE SEEMS TO NEED ATTENTION TOO, THE INTERIOR IS FAIRLY CLEAN BUT DOOR PANELS ARE WARPED (THE OUTER SKIN BEING NICE) THE WOOD NEEDS TO BE REDONE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS TORN THE REAR ONES ARE NICE. THE TRUNK IS FAIRLY CLEAN IT HAS THE TIRE CHANGING TOOLS BUT IS MISSING THE TRUNK LID TOOLS. MECHANICALLY, IT IS COMPLETE BUT NON RUNNING, I HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT WHY, IN MY OPINION RESTORING A CAR LIKE THAT YOU NEED TO PULL THE ENGINE AND GO THROUGH IT.AS WELL AS ALL THE FUEL INJECTION COMPONENTS FROM THE GAS TANK AND UP (THE CAR HAVING SAT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME) THROUGH THE INJECTORS ETC.. THE CAR COMES WITH A BRAND NEW ORIGINAL EXHAUST SYSTEM (SEE PICTURE) I can Help to deliver the car with my own trailer in New England and Eastern Canada at a fee, also if you want to calculate shipping cost in the US, use zip code 05830 which is 15 minutes away from where the car is,and I can take it there and help clear custom .contact me for details FEEL FREE TO AS QUESTIONS BY EMAIL
