Sounds nice. Good cosmetically?

[redrumm3]

Sounds nicer than it looks. The car has some rust in the right rear quarter. The car could be restored but it will be an ambitious project.

[TheDarkSide]

gotcha :thumbu: Get some pics up!

[LDadrenaline]

Im sure Barry would be very interested in this... I lost his number, so if anyone has it you should post it and give him a call.

[SlickShift]

Remember we said we should all pitch in some money and buy a stunt car? I'm sure we can fix it up and tear it up! :lol:

any pictures???

[kelso]

for 350, what else you gonna get! thats super cheap for anything...how much do you htink it would cost to get running?
i...could potentially be interested, pending pictures of inside and outside and motor in its current state. and a list of known issues would be great. ill see if its worth it to me.

[Trevahhhh]

pics would be nice as i would probably be the one getting it running

If not I have a guy that may pick it up.

[redrumm3]

I don't have any pics, but the car is located at Cars & Concepts, 4711 N. Manhattan, Tampa. Just ask Steve or Thomas and they will show you the car.

Thomas is on here. Maybe he will chime in soon.

[Revmaster T]

Scott mentioned this allready that this car needs a lot of work, but it is doable. I think it is worth $ 350.00 even if you can't get it running you could part it out and get your money back.

Thomas

PS you could buy that 97 M3 engine and install it in the 320i :) :) ( just kidding )

[TheDarkSide]

Thanks Thomas

[redrumm3]

I found some pics, but since I'm a noobie I guess it won't let me post them. Any suggestions?

Scott

[TheDarkSide]

Scott, says you are unconfirmed under your SN. That means you never verified your email. If you never got the email PM it to me and I can manually confirm you. ;)

[kelso]

i wanna see these pictures....i knows its gonna be rough but i wanna know if its gonna be too much headaches for me to spend the time and money

[TheDarkSide]

Says he will get them up tonight.

[kelso]

woot!

[redrumm3]

Here's a link for some pics. Sorry for the delay.

Just a little TLC :dunno:

And a detail :)

oh boy i dunno....it could look hot balla, i see the great potential but i dont know if im willing to part with my money to restore it...how much would you estimate it would cost to get it drivable( engine runs, tranny works, wheels and brakes are going, but it looks like death still and probably smells like racoon urine and rat turds;) )

and how hard are parts to find for this?

[BMWgiant]

I've never seen one with a top like that.. Is that from the factory like that? If you want, I could post it on a few other sites that might be interested... let me know..

[redrumm3]

The car is actually pretty rare. "A cabriolet conversion was offered by Karosserie Baur (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karosserie_Baur) GmbH, based on regular E21 models. The cabriolet conversion was composed of a targa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targa) roof and an independent rear soft top. Production of the Baur TopCabriolet began in 1978, and were sold via the BMW dealership network. All TopCabriolets included the BMW warranty. A total of 4,595 vehicles were manufactured before production ended in 1981" I don't know how many are in the USA since they were not originally sold here, but I would guess less that 100 were imported.

Interestingly, all the body parts can be sourced from a regular 320i, therefore cheap. The good thing about this car is that it has the six cylinder engine and that any of the M50, S50/52/54 engines can be installed, if someone desires. All the hard to find parts are on the car. It was running when I bought it a couple of years ago. I am not going to lie it is going to require some work to bring it back, but it is doable and worth it for such a car. I think the car is fairly priced since the euro bumpers and BBS wheels are worth more than what I am asking for it.

I posted it up on MyE28.com... A few people said some interesting things about the Baur.. http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?t=24072&highlight=

that car is cool as hell.............. if i had more garages i'd pick it up we have 3 cars already and the new mcoupe is on the way..... i'm thing of adding on another garage? anyone have skills in this... oh yeah bump for an awesome rare car.. i wish i had a place to put it!

[kelso]

i really wanna restore it but i just dont have the money for the parts. if anybody else grabs it, id be willing to try and help out restoring it, looks like fun. it would be a shame for it to be parted though

[kelso]

somebody from bf.c emailed me wanting information about where he can get this car. i dont even know if he's in florida lol. anyways could somebody pm me or post a contact number so this guy can call and talk to somebody about maybe picking it up?

[redrumm3]

Bump, still looking for a good home.

[kelso]

did he contact you? the bf.c guy never said anything back to me...

[redrumm3]

I never heard from the bf.c dude!

[Trevahhhh]

It actually is for sale it has a 16valve engine and lots of other good stuff. Call Steve at C&C (813) 348-6183 he can tell you more about it.

Sorry Scott did not mean to hijack your thread.

Scott there was one guy that stoped by last week and looked at the car. Did he ever get back to you ?

Thomas

[redrumm3]

I talked with Charlie on Saturday and met him at the Driver's Ed school in Brooksville on Sunday. He is going to be by the shop on Saturday to pick the car up. I gave the title to Steve since I am going to be out of town this weekend.

Scott

[kelso]

so the baurs sold? congrats, hope it finds a good home. hey thomas could you possibly post some pictures of the rabbit pickup for my brother(trevahhhh)
if not ill stop by the shop next chance i get to see the truck. i think his main concern is the rust

[redrumm3]

The guy is just going to part it out and not restore it.

Scott

[TheDarkSide]

Sucks, would have been fun to watch it progress.

[kelso]
