bye bye m3 cecotto barnfind

[AC Nico]

he didnt told me the reason. he just said that he had it over 20 years and now its done... he dont want to see it on the streets again. he also wanted to bring it to a junk yard and see it crashed in front of his eyes. i accepted this and didnt ask him more why :)

Well, race cars don't need a vin, and it won't be on the streets :) So make it a happy ending for everyone! (or the e30 gods will haunt you FOREVER!)

[AC Nico]

hahaha
yes thats probably a ending for it but first i have to remove almost everything to finish my evo2 :D

[AdOz]

I'd have restored that! It may cost a lot to do but it's a valuable investment! And it's an e30 m3... It deserves it!

reading this thread in ten years will be painful.

Well there is no real choice in the matter but I am guessing a cecotto is in the neighborhood of $60k to the right buyer contingent on condition:

I'll let the real M3 experts chime in. The prices on these things are all over the map.

Sweet.

Weirdest story ever. I wonder if it was stolen so he kept the Vins?

To bad it won't be saved.

[TimeMachinE30]

Ya, sounds feeeeshy. Know the VIN by chance?

[AC Nico]

dont know the vin but i saw the papers that it was his car.

[Mr. Burns]

If I was told that I must promise the car is never to be on the streets again, I would push for answers lol

that doesn't sit with me very well

[88BlackS-ETA]

If he really got rid of every vin on that car, I wouldnt touch it with a 50' pole no matter how valuable it is.

[rcsoundn1]

if he is disassembling it, it wont matter vin or not. I do know why it would scare some people. This isnt the mona lisa, so if its hot and apart, w/o a vin it wont matter in the end.

I am sure ACNico is on the up and up.

It is a fishy sounding seller, but there really could be a weird thing this guy has with the car, too. There are very strange folks out in the world.

I would like to run the VIN, though.

[Mac_86ES]

Sounds like the guy may have had a "she's mine and I don't want any one else to enjoy her" kinda thing going on. (Benefit of the doubt that it's not a murder car that is)

Probably all the money he put into maintaining the car. Now can stand the look of it when he think about all that money lol.
