1973 BMW 3.0 CS E9 Sunroof Coupe

NO RESERVE - BID TO WIN

Description

Here is your chance to own a true classic! It is a great daily driver and everything works as it should. These 3. 0 CS's are starting to be hard to come by. and I am offering it at a no reserve starting price that is way below the NADA Classic Car Value. See this link to the NADA website that has the current available values:

This 3. 0 CS is not a concourse show car. but a great classic that is restored to be used daily and will appreciate in value over time. You can drive it as is and have people stop you and ask you about it.  

It has power windows & power sunroof that all work as they should. the original radio turns on and works. but no speaker is connected. Instead I have installed a modern stereo in the glove box with bluetooth and iPod connection.  It also has factory AC (which blows ice cold). The previous owner told me that it was converted to 134a. AC Compressor bushings were replaced.  The heat works as well.   

The brakes were just done within the last year. nbsp;and stop the vehicle without pulling to the left or right. Rebuilt front calipers and new pads.  I also had the brake master cylinder. nbsp;clutch master and slave cylinder replaced as well. All lights work. and I've added a period Hella rear foglight as well.

The car was repainted from bare metal to BMW marakesh brown metallic. which suits the car great (my opinion). The original color was fjord blue (light blue) but was in terrible shape when I got it. There are some cosmetic issues that need to be addressed if you want to make it perfect.  There are a few paint flaws on the roof (about 2-3 mm) as well as on the passanger door (quarter size).  All Glass is un-cracked.

The vehicle is also equipped with the rare Nardi wooden steering wheel. It shows some wear on top but is nice and presentable. The original jack is still present. but the toolbox is missing.

I've also added a CSL Airdam. color matched rear bumper & Hella Driving lights (painted to match). Original bumpers are included. nbsp;and are in "fair condition" with peeling chrome.  

I've posted photos from before. during and after restauration here:

Rust

If you know E9s. you know that there is always rust lurking somewhere. No visible rust on this car. but hidden away there may be some. I cannot tell. If you want me to take specific photos of areas. just let me know. Whatever rust I saw on the car I had "cut out" and repaired. There is some surface rust under the car. and there was at some point a floor repair done (drivers side rear seat). It was done by the previous owner.

Some of the Imperfections:

- ill fitting underdash panel

- odometer inop

- clock inop

- 2 tires in the front do not match rear tires in tread pattern. but do in brand

- drivers interior door-panel bottom is fixed with gaffer tape

- pass door-stop needs to be replaced

- slight shimmey in steering wheel between 50-60 MPH

Mileage / Odometer

True miles are unknown. It has a 5 digit odometer that turns back to 0 after 99. 99 miles. and therefore the exact miles cannot be verified. Title list is as "true miles unknown". Odometer also currently does not work. I looked into getting it repaired but got shocked when I see what was involved in removing the gauge cluster. All other gauges work fine (with the exception of the clock)

Warranty

This vehicle has absolutely no warranty in any way (I'm sure you understand) due to the fact that this vehicle is almost 40 years old. It is sold “as is” and “where is” with no warranty expressed or implied.

Please understand that you are buying this vehicle sight unseen (unless you email me and schedule an appointment to view the vehicle).

Delivery

Shipping and/or Delivery is the responsibility of the Buyer. I will however assist in any dropping off with shippers locally. To the Mainland you can get a shipping quote through Matson or Pasha Hawaii. If you need to have it shipped between the Hawaiian Islands. you can ship it with Young Brothers.

My location is Kamuela. Hawaii. 96743. This is on the Big Island. The closest port to me is in Kawaihae. Hawaii (KWHE). I have no problem taking it to the port for you. but again it is the winning bidders responsibility to pay for any shipping costs. Approximate shipping cost to a West Coast Port (Los Angelos. Oakland. Seattle) is $1200 plus any taxes and fees. See this link for more information: http://matson. com/pov/booking/shipping_rates. htm

Of course you can always pick it up in person as well.

Payment

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. AS SUCH. HIGHEST BID WILL WIN THIS AUCTION!

I will have to receive funds in full before the vehicle will be released to any shipper and/or buyer.

$500 non-refundable deposit is due within 2 days of auction close via paypal. the remaining balance is due within 7 days of auction end.

Accepted forms of payment are: paypal (for deposit). cash in person. or certified / personal check (funds must clear before vehicle is released).

Once I receive full payment & your payment has cleared. I will mail you the title & drop it off with any shippers if needed

I do not accept escrow.

Please also note that I will not deal with any “agents” claiming to be looking for a vehicle for their client. and are sending a check in the mail…… I will only deal with buyers from the US directly.

Questions?

I'm not perfect. so if there are any questions that I have not answered in this description. please feel free to ask. I will try and answer all questions as good as possible. and as soon as possible.

Miscellaneous

I work for BMW of Hawaii (www. bmwbigisland. com). and have the vehicle on consignment there as well as on Craigslist locally. As such. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time before the Auction End. Once you win the auction. I will sell to you at the ending price.

The only reason I am selling is because I have another project that I am focused on now.

I do not offer 2nd chance offer.

Please for the sake of everyone on Ebay. do not waste my time with bids that you are not serious about.

I've tried to describe and explain this vehicle and all terms to the best of my abilities. but if I have left out anything. please ask!

Good luck!
