    Free Late Model Shell

    Car has been picked up and is no longer available.

    Car Specs:

    Year: 1990
    Model 325i
    Exterior Color: Calypsorot
    Interior Color: Tan
    Trans: 5 speed
    Miles: 335k miles

    Info:

    I acquired this car about 4 years ago now and tucked it away in a garage that I was renting at the time with the intent to rebuild it (had a bad head gasket). Over time this car has moved through three different garages as I've moved 5 times in those four years because of career changes and family changes. All good and well, so why is this free? Somewhere throughout all of my moves I lost the title to the car. Without knowing or remembering the previous owner of the vehicle I have no way to retrieve another copy and quite honestly, I've got no motivation to do so. I'm putting my efforts into an mtech vert that i've just purchased.

    So, FREE car, but you'll have to source the title yourself or use it as a race vehicle only. Or swap vins or whatever other potentially illegal means you may have at your disposal. I will provide a bill of sale with the car so those that live in states where you don't need a title to register older vehicles, this car may be for you.

    I'm looking to clean out the driveway quickly, so this car will be available for ONE WEEK, to August 24. If arrangements aren't made to move it by next Sunday it will be fully stripped and sent to the wrecker.


    Parts removed from the car:

    French Smilies
    Euro Grills
    Radiator and all cooling system items
    Head/Intake track
    Entire Exhaust (can include manifolds, but the rest is gone)
    Steering Rack
    Misc interior items

    Parts that will be left on the car if picked up by 8/24:

    All tan interior pieces including nice leather front seats from a vert
    bottle caps with good michelin snow tires
    IS sway bars
    Sunroof wind deflector
    CD/radio
    Engine block with AC compressor and PS Pump
    Brake booster and MC
    Full stock suspension

    My plan is to pull the 5 speed trans and parts and offer them up for sale for someone interested in doing a swap from Auto to Manual. These parts are still in the car, so if you pick up the car before I have the time to pull that stuff out, you just got yourself a $500 5 speed swap in the least along with a good interior. Can't say when I'm going to pull those pieces, so move quickly!

    The car:










    There are only two spots of rust that I could find. One on the drivers door and one on the passengers front fender rocker panel. Both pictured below:





    I'd really like to see the car live on and have searched through everything I have looking for the title to the car to no avail. Someone save it before the wrecker takes another relatively clean e30 to the grave.

    You can contact me through PM or email at mabonder@optonline.net.

    If the car is still available Wednesday, I might be able to pick this girl up from you. :)

        Several inquiries. At this point the car is scheduled for pick up on Tuesday midday, that's the earliest I'll be around. The car is on hold until then.

        If the car is not picked up I will move down the list giving priority on a first come first serve basis.

        I will update the thread as well.

              I know, seems kind of odd seeing as e30 prices have gotten a bit out of control, but I really want this car to be saved and go to someone that will keep it alive rather than ripping it apart. Yes I could part it out and make a little money, but I don't have the time or the motivation to do so, I'd rather "pay it forward" in a way by helping someone get into an e30 by saving this one. So it's free...
