The shell itself was actually VERY straight and appeared to be rust free which only makes it worse :(

I would think the diving boards should pretty much confirm it isn't the real deal.Aaron

VIN reveals just a US-spec 6/87 ETA.
My guess is someone got their hands on a Hartge decal kit and proceeded to adhere it to the vehicle in question.
The other possibilty is that Performance Plus (the official Hartge importer in the 80's) modified it. The modified US E28s, so it is certainly possible they did something to this car.
May be interesting to find the back story...

And, it's already in the salvage system. It's as good as lost.Comment

Man, that blows. There appears to be a protective piece on the top of both rear fenders where a spoiler might have been, I wonder if some fancy Hartge spoiler used to reside there. If it's straight and non-rusty, it might be worth getting and sprucing up.- Trey

It's most likely real because the sidemarkers were placed on the front fenders, and not on the bumper.Erick Mahle | FullOpp Drift | YouTube

Either way, if it had those side skirts on it, you can bet it had a heap of other cool stuff once upon a time... :(Comment

OMG that breaks my heart if its real. And I have a feeling it is real due to the cutouts for the side repeaters, and the age of where the Hartge badge would have been.

Now that just breaks my heart. Were there by chance any exhaust pieces on it? I could use a mid section if it has the Hartge stuff.__________________

Nope, sorry. As soon as I saw it I immediately thought of you and your car and if there was anything on it you could use. Unfortunately there wasn't much of anything.Originally posted by Tavern Gnome View PostComment
