Relisted because user BN811 claims he accidentally bid on the wrong car. Looks to me like he just wanted to know the reserve. I retracted his bid thinking it still had a chance to sell with a few hours left. If this guy accidentally bids on your auction - don't let him off the hook like I did. You are bidding on a 1972 BMW 3.0CS. The car came from the factory as an automatic and in the color Ceylon - an acquired taste. A previous owner had it painted a factory blue color and gave it a 4 speed manual transmission. The engine has triple Weber 45's (yes 45's), a Schrick cam,headers, fan clutch upgrade, and vented rotors. Also, there is a Momo Prototipo and an old school 4 point harness. I think it has H4's - at least for the low beams. I think it has a limited slip dif in it - when I had the car on a lift and spun one rear wheel they both went forward. I think the car sits fairly low - not sure if the suspension has been upgraded, but I would imagine it has. I am pretty sure that the U.S. spacers have been removed. The car runs and drives. The Webers sound really good when you put your foot down. I took a picture of the head, so you can see how clean it is. All that being said, this car has needs. First and foremost, it has rust in the typical places. So, you might as well stop reading right now if you can't handle rust. The rust is in the front floor pans, the rockers and the tops of the fenders where they meet in the engine compartment. There are a few small spots under the paint, as well as some dings and chips, but the car is presentable. You wouldn't be embarrassed to drive it to your local cars and coffee as I have done several times. I am just going to bullet point the other things that need to be done - as many of them as I can remember. Odometer does not work Front seats need recovering No dip switch Under dash panels need to be put back on (I have some if not all of the pieces) I think the electric fuel pump might need replacing as it gets loud sometimes Driver's side rear window doesn't work, passenger's rear slow and squeaky stitching has come undone on one of the rear seats dash has cracks dent on front underbelly air conditioning is there but not hooked up (for you girly men) :P need some new muffler clamps rear rotors should be replaced horn doesn't work Could probably use a tune - but the car starts right up everytime, so I'm not going to dare mess with those Webers. Now, if I haven't scared you off, there are a bunch of parts that come with the car: New front seat covers from World Upholstery $600 2 front strut assemblies - $500..? CSL rear subframe with limited slip diff - $500 Spare set of glass excluding the vent windows - $$$ Front bumper and extra bumper pieces - $500 CSL repro dash - $500 Spare gauge cluster Supplemental VDO gauges for the CSL dash? Fiberglass front spoiler (made for a CS, but looks like a 6 series one. See on coupeguy.com) - $440 Hella horns 3 tail lights One of the original carbs and a rebuild kit I think a brake mater cylinder rebuild kit Turn signal switch with stalk (look new?) Pair of door trim pieces where the door shuts and the strikers attach -cover from the top of the door to the rocker ( don't know its proper name) I may have another set of wheels like the ones on the Bavaria in the picture. Thanks for looking! So, maybe $4k in parts? I would love anybody interested to come have a look and a drive. I want the buyer to be happy. I think it is hard to sell a car like this on Ebay - I want to represent it as accurately as possible, but I am no mechanic and/or I may have left something out by accident. It is a project car that you can drive and work on. I think you get the idea. Hit the Buy-it-Now and I might even drive it down to the Vintage event -4 hours from me. Of course, you would still have to come get the parts at some point. Yes, I will help with the shipping arrangements, but you pay to ship. I have shipped a car overseas before, and am willing to assist in that as well. As is obviously - no warranty On May-25-13 at 11:23:23 PDT, seller added the following information:
