Anyone have any luck find a barn gold mine E30 M3?

[abrokenframe]

i know of a guy with a '71 911t sitting under a tarp in his front yard with a foot of dirt around the tires. Original owner and original paint. I think about it every time it rains.

I know where there is a TISA and a double bubble abarth in about 1-2ft of mud. In my experience, go to car shows with a predominantly older crowd. Sit back with a bunch and listen to their stories.

I wanna spend like 3k or 4k maybe 5k? for a good E30 M3.

Barn finds are stumbled upon, op. If you want to learn where mystical hidden cars are, ask a postman/paperboy etc to keep an eye out for you, with the incentive of a finder's fee. Those are the folks familiar with roads less traveled.

Thats the smartest thing I've heard so far in this thread.

A then a magical fairly gave me a lovely beejay.

I don't know about you guys, but, a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend oooooofffff a friend story is always so heartfelt. :rippedoff:

It didn't matter to me if you believe it or not..

The point was, that these deals do exist, but (and a huge but), is that you have to be in the right place at the right time and know what you are looking at.

You can't just go out and say "I am going to find a $100 Shelby mustang."

My buddy is a BMW guy and never had any interest in owning a French car of any type, but a fellow racer on our Chumpcar team owns an R5 as well and know about this one, so told my buddy about it. They both checked it out and now there's a French oddity hanging out with his various E30's..

Not everyone can always identify the diamond in rough, hence why there may still be barn finds out there. Or, people get old and what was a worthwhile project at 30, had turned in to an eyesore when you hit 65.

But like I keep saying, you got to do the footwork, and peek under every rock or behind every garage door.

Yes, the OP had a really weird way of starting this thread, and brought some amount of ridicule on him, but I think everyone here would love to find the same thing. And I'm just trying to say, those deals do exist, just like winning the lottery.

It could happen.

But odds are highly stacked against it.

The kinds of deals you are talking about only fall in your lap by chance, usually while talking to someone who doesn't give a shit about what you're in to, but knows someone with one.

Seriously, you can't just go on the internet and find the deal of the century. Those only get found in the real world. Luckily it's getting easier these days, because everyone is living in their phones and not looking around.

So get out there, talk to people, make some friends, and go exploring. After a while take the 15k you've saved not buying the newest iPhone, and buy a E30 M30.

It sounded like it was his friend. And he had picture proof....

True story: one of my buddies recently found a Renault R5 Turbo that was sitting in a garage for something like 20 years. Guy didn't have the title any more, and there was something wrong with the motor. It had less than 10K on the odometer. The guy didn't want to deal with it, and got tired of looking at it, so he said if my buddy applied for a lost title he could have it.
