shark lovers: how does this shit wind up in a junk yard?

[jeffnhiscars]

I tripped over an e24 at PullaPart here last year and raced home to the bfe24 forum to ask what was valued most. I then went back and spent 2 hours and about $400 getting what I could just to save it. I had my cash back in a week plus I think $100 for my trouble, then trade a box of goodies to George at Leatherique for his new e24 and got a dye kit for my barn find in return.

oh..and it turned out to be an L6 so if anyone needs a center console and matching leather visors... :)

Came here expecting abandoned Mako, left disappointed.

What yard?

There was one a week ago at Pull your Part on Beach Blvd.

some info about that car:

- the carb is a rare carryover from e9 coupes, but it is the worst possible air intake option for these cars

Ive heard this to by a guy that swapped it out with a Holley 4 carb...with a adapter to the mani of course.

edit: found pic...

The one at Beach is still there! Just left.

Hehe when I saw this thread I thought shark as in Porsche 928. I tried to buy a pretty nice E24 almost a year ago but the guy would never return my calls.
