This looks like a good deal for what it is (e30 M3 under 70k miles)

interesting carfax. titled in FL, NJ, Puerto Rico, accident in PR

except for the color (interior, I have no issue with green exterior) this checks a lot of the boxes for me

Also, I have no idea what the fascination is with buying a RHD car. Seems like a huge PITA to me.

Driving a RHD car in a left-side driving country is a bizarre experience. I found myself turning on the windshield wipers every time I tried to signal to turn. Driving RHD in a right-side country is somewhat better, although I can't really explain why. There's nothing intuitive about "mirror image" driving either way, especially if you're trying to back up/into anything.

The automotive writer, Brock Yates, used to say (about driving in England) "keep left, look right".

Hydraulic lifters in an early LT-1 makes me sad. Cool car though.

There are a few things under the hood I would improve.

but I just can't get past that green interior. My brother owned a 68 Camaro 327 with that same color interior. I still joke about it with him

JST?

It's at $90 with 7 hours left in a auction. I don't think my guess of $120 will be that for off.
