Beautiful 3.0 CS

Ebay item 260012732120 I REALLY like this car. I realize that value is subjective, but any ideas/opinions on what it`s "worth"?

Gorgeous car.

You can't exactly look these on on KBB or Edmunds. It's worth what you're willing to pay. But high teens to low twenties for a car in this condition is probably justified.

Apparently $20250.00 was not enough as reserve was not met.

Too good to be true? This is an original 3.0 CSL with 8000 miles for $37k .


What concerns me about it is he's located in Puerto Rico, he's also selling a 1998 M3 with 14k miles for $22k.

Hmm, it might indeed cost $37k. As TD stated above, there's no market price for those cars. I'd want to know the VIN on that car, just to check the authenticity .

The main thing to consider is that there are VERY few cars of this caliber for sale (assuming it`s for real, and not a "build-up"), and lots of people with deeeep pockets who drool over cars like this one. Barrett-Jackson is probably the ultimate barometer of car-mania.... *really* nice examples (of any highly desireable car) normally sell for 3 to 4 times what their "real-world" value should be.... recently, I saw an immaculate `56 Chevy ragtop that *should* have sold for $35-40K reach $100,000 in bidding.... and a showroom-fresh-looking Hemi-Cuda `vert that absolutely blew everyone away when the bidding topped TWO MILLION dollars.... Desire plays with people`s heads, y`know....

Yeah, in all honesty if I had somewhere to put this baby I would be willing to drop $60k+ on it, however I don't think I would trust myself with a car of that caliber, besides I'd never drive it and I think it's frivolous to pay that much money on something you can't even drive around in. A car like this belongs in the Smithsonian, not in some random guy's car collection, such a beautiful example has no business collecting dust away from the public's eyes.

Alex, its authentic- (in this picture you can faintly read that BMW said it was made in Munich on xx-xx-xxxx and has the serial number xxxxxxxxx)

anybody know who he is, he has/had quite the bmw collection. the 3.0 now north of 50k! beautiful car

Gorgeous car, it's one of the 429 LHD 3.0 Liter cars built from 9/72 through 6/73.

It says in the above posted certificate that it was built in May, 1973, which makes it one of the last LHD models built.

More on the car:

However, the info on the link above is wrong, where the guy claims that it has a 'strong' 3.3 Liter engine. The CSL never came with a 3.3 Liter engine. Only the final version of the CSLs were fitted with an enlarged M30 with a capacity of 3,153cc.

According to the date of production, this car should have a 3,003cc engine. Only cars that were produced from 7/73 through 10/73 and from 1/74 through 10/75 had the larger engine.

PS: all the CSLs were produced at the Karmann Werke in Rhein and not in Munich, as it's written in the certificate

Doesn't have runflats.....not interested!!!

Seriously, those cars are beautiful!

Awh, not original!

Still really good looking though.
