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

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.
