WTB E30 Roller with low miles original paint

[fmgutz]

Hi,
I'm looking for a e30 with an exceptional drivetrain and body. Hopefully one without any rust. Original paint is preferred, even if faded. Interior and engine are not as important than the body and undercarriage. I would consider a car without an engine and/or interior. I have an engine and a full interior (black). I'm not interested in aftermarket body modifications.

My '89 was totaled in the Spring and I am trying to put humpty back together.
Yes, my car was parallel parked! I just pulled it out of storage 3 days prior.
Insurance was hell but know I know the tricks.

Price is negotiable 5-10k. More if the car is complete. I would drop 15-20k for a complete car and near perfect. I know what these are worth and am not looking for a steal. I'm located in Boston, but willing to travel/ship.

Thank you for any leads!
Fred

We need some more photos and a story about this. That is the R3V way. Sorry to see your pain but give us the skinny.

The 89 325I Delphin shown, I bought as a replacement for an 88 ETA 10 years ago. The ETA was rusting away, but that car alone was difficult to a part with. My 89 was near perfect in my eyes and I planned on keeping if for a long while. When I bought it if felt like it lacked power, so recently I had the engine re-built at VSR1 in NH. Those great guys built me a serious engine. I store it in winters and this Spring I had the engine tuned and a new stereo installed. Picked it up as my birthday celebration. Had one nice drive in then two days later, I moved the car to the street so that I could load some masonry into my driveway when a crazy woman drove literally right through it. No other cars involved. Either she fell asleep. Obviously distracted. She was not injured.

Perpetrator's vehicle was a Dodge Charger. I have no words for that!

Shock-Denial-Anger
I basically showed all my receipts (shocking how much I spent over the years) and insurance offered me 5k. I got angry and found an attorney that helped me understand my rights and the insurers obligations. Once that was clear it volleyed for 2 months and I settled just short of going to court for a somewhat reasonable amount to get me started again.

So here I am trying to get back to a near perfect E30 that I can hold on to. I considered going the way of a e10- 2002, but got cold feel. I'm less interested in a project and more in a vehicle I can drive and enjoy.

I would love to put my fresh engine into an E30 and the interior is an option if necessary.

Funny how attached we get to cars.

Call Chris or Mario maybe they have a line on a great shell. Or that being said Concord Motorsports has some decent cars from time to time.

Thank you everyone for personal messaging me with very nice options. I went with a car in NY and am very happy with it. Good luck to everyone selling.
