DESCRIPTION:
BOTH ARE COMPLETE....EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IN BOXES , ALL PARTS ARE THERE , NOTHING DOWN TO THE BOLT !!!
Okay , this will be a long explanation but it will be 100% transparent about it
I bought both cars about 10 years ago but unfortunately soon after some tragedies struck me , I went into depression , life REALLY beat me down financially , mentally and physically . I've been lying to myself that I will get back my will to fix these cars like I wanted to , but I haven't touched them in 8 years . Some people know and seen where they are parked for the last 10 years and haven't been moved . I live on a very busy street so people have complimented them plenty and asked when I will finish them
This is 100% transparency , the good , the bad and the ugly , I will not hold back anything because I believe in karma and I believe in sleeping with a good conscience . Also even long after the sale , you can always call or text me , I know those cars like the back of my hand , I will see this through until you put them together , I just don't have the energy or desire anymore to do so myself
I am into them about ! Parts are hard to find , especially a few , you must know people who know people from forums etc , ship them , get them back , expect them , any issues , return them , etc . It was a process , you don't own a car like that and something breaks and you don't go to Auto Zone expecting to replace it easily , You must be creative and you must know people or willing to do forum searches ! I did that for years , and that's why I am willing to help out long after the sale , I want those cars on the road ! They are gorgeous
The Red is 1992 , 108k miles , auto , drives and runs great
The Silver (Primed) is 1991 , 125k miles , manual - currently does not start or run but it is simple to do so
Let's start with the red one . No expense was spared back then on my cars , I have over into it , that's not a typo and those are 2015 prices , whole top end has been rebuild 10 years ago and in 10 years ,it has been driven 8250 miles , , new belts , new belt tensioners , water pump , new spark plug wires () , rebuilt brake booster () , k&n filters (), rebuilt throttle bodies () , spark coils , , new radiator , new distributor caps , the suspension was rebuilt back then as well , lowered H&R springs , new brakes and rotors , control arms , center link , etc . It has high end speaker system installed , 2 Pioneer subwoofers , one inside , one in the trunk , 6 channels JL Audio amp , Pioneer high end pop up den , kicker surround sound speakers inside . The cluster monitors have been rebuilt (every 850 by now requires it to see all the pixels) , the heat and a/c control panel module was rebuilt . There were couple computers rebuilt underneath the floor boards that I no longer recollect what they were called !!! This car in 1991 was ahead of its time ! There is so much I have forgotten , back then it was a complete rebuilt , I was young , had money and plenty of time to play around !
Interior wise , the seats are starting to show age with couple little rips , but everything could be brought to pristine by the right seat recondition specialist . The head roof liner was sagging so it has been replaced with new liner but it was never installed back . It is included of course . Every thing of both cars will be included plus any extras I may have had along the way from other parts purchases !
Also the interior trim will need to be refinished . repainted . Original owner had plastic trimming installed but due to age , it has started to fade and fall off .
Exterior wise - It needs to be repainted , the clear coat has long started to fade , plus it has a very special Alpina B12 hood , it cost me shipped from California in 2016 , not even sure if you can even get it nowadays . It is extremely rare ! I have extra fog lights and headlights ( value) included in the sale , one of the fog lights and the head lights have broken tabs and the fog light has a broken glass , you can replace them so they look the part and still resell the broken ones , there is market , they are very rare to come across . Comes with brand new interstate battery . Bumper is a clone 850csi , but it has a crack in it and currently is being held with tape . Aftermarket bumpers need custom home made clips to be held onto the car . Wheels are expensive but 1 is BUSTED , the second has curb rash and the other 2 are good . If they were good , they can fetch for just the wheels . They are 18" Original BMW style 42 DEEP DISH Rondell wheels . VERY RARE , cheapest on eBay are , 2 are good , one can be repaired and one is toasted . Also it has custom dual exhaust with X pipe , sound VERY GOOD , not annoyingly loud , even at highway speeds thanks to the X pipe
The silver is 1992 , manual , only 932 in USA , Mexico and Canada (way less now because it's been 34 years since that estimate) . That one hurts me to explain ! It is painted with primer , all sanded and everything before that , I had it in a shop , was supposed to get it painted for in 2018 , the guy was just opening a new shop , paid upfront , big mistake , we shook hands , 3 months later he came asking me for more money , me being prideful knowing he is trying to rip me off for more money , I got mad , I took the car back , parked it , never worked on it again . It sat for years , I was mad , I was going through things , I no longer had money to finish it , coverered it with plastic in my canopy and let it sit - couple years ago tried to start it , it no longer starts . I believe it has old gas that needs to be flushed from the gas tank . The good on it , it was running great before that , it has new clutch ( job with parts , research it!) , again the top end of the engine was rebuilt , new injectors , cables , filters , belts , plenum gaskets , the whole nine yards !!! . I can not recall if it had suspension work done , I believe couple control arms and brakes , I am not joking , I have developed a healthy drinking habit last 8 years , with everything going on in my life , I stopped caring to remember details. But all I know for a fact , anything that needed to be replaced before , it was replaced . Just needed a paint job to be complete . It has AC Schnitzer front bumper , 17 inch wheels , they are like the style 42 , but because they are 17s . a lot more common and go about for -1000 . It has new oil and filter from before . I have driven it in 8-9 years - 100 miles ! Not joking . It has been sitting for 8 years and before that it was my project and was driven just to shops and back . The whole car was sand blasted , the windows are scratched , I have all side windows packed , ready to be replaced . Also windshields are cracked , front and back , need to be replaced .
I am SURE I am forgetting so much on both of them to list . I calculated it before , I am into both , THIS IS NOT A E30 BMW ! Every part is insanely expensive !! Why do you think you don't see them on the road like most e30s , they are special , so don't expect to low ball me , I will block you , head lights alone I can sell for , and I have 3 pairs of them if I was parting them out . In parts , they are probably worth more
