Wow. Kinda sad that it will never be driven though-- at this point it will just get passed amongst collectors for speculative purposes. Still cool to see the pics of a factory fresh car from the 80s though. I remember that Delco stereo from my friends 87 Beretta

Bets on what this very nicely optioned, extremely well-preserved 325is goes for? 25? 30?

EDIT: OK, 30 is too high. But I bet 20-25.

That is very sweet. But it has nothing on the stick version of my car.

I should go up to Vancouver to see this car....

It's Fjord.... mine's Baikal...
It's an auto... mine's a manual
It's a 1973.... mine's a 1970....
But it is nice. But not TOO nice.
This is the car that I (kind of had) before I had to go into the engine - Going into the engine and some of the other mechanical work that started the slippery slope I am on... lol - oh well. Will be interesting to see what it brings. BAT tax and all.

This one is in generally better shape than mine was. Some details are lacking - but the bones are really there for a wonderful car should there be the desire to take it to the next level (and for a whole lot less effort than mine is getting - lol)

I might have to let a friend of mine know about this. A BMW friend who lives in Vancouver. He as an M1. Yes, a REAL M1. I don't have the time right now to do a road trip - but it would be interesting to get his thoughts on the car- but that is pushing it too with my friends usually busy schedule....

That’s beautiful! And not to go off track, but whats the latest on your car - is there a thread on your project? I haven’t been around as frequently and curious how it’s progressing.
