You sure get a sense for the wonderful (not) Bilstein impact harshness watching the video of that one.

pissed? seems like fair money. Yeah could of gotten more if he found the right buyer.

He should of swapped out that momo wheel

I would be apprehensive if I was the winner-buyer.

BAT deleted his first comment after the sale was over.

Agreed the steering wheel was especially gross and brought down the look of the whole car.

Agreed on wheel. $16K seems a little low for a car with this low mileage, but the mods hurt him here--if you're looking for a low-mileage garage queen/collector, you don't want to undo all the bullshit.

I think it was well bought, but I wouldn't call it an ass-raping. Or an ass-rapping.

Yes. I'd rather have some grandfather's (or grandmother's) garage queen any day--even for a couple thousand more.

Ok, watched the video, and really what I wanted to happen was for the seller to just stop talking.

I dont think I have ever seen one before.

I worked for a guy in Germany who had one of these (for himself) and a 550 for his wife. The 550 was a convertible but had the hard top as well. He was over 65 years old when I saw the cars, and he had a cool pulley system installed in his garage to help pull off and store the hardtop.
