For Sale at Auction: 1973 BMW 3 Series in Scarborough, Maine for sale in Scarborough, ME
Vehicle Description Rare Vintage BMW 3.
0CS (E9) With Nice Upgrades Restored - Rust-Free 3.
0CS New Leather Seats front and back Period Correct M30 Engine (could be original) Upgraded with Triple Weber Carbs Rebuilt Engine from Korman Autoworks Schrick Cam New Carpet and floor mats Newly restored door panels, dash and rear side panel New Stainless Steel Exhaust front to back.
Thousands invested The E9 coupe, as it is known today by its internal designation, has become a highly sought after car that is essentially the post-war standard for an understatedly elegant coupe.
Karmann built the body shells for BMW and the car is essentially one of the prettiest ways to creatively trap moisture ever devised.
Rust-free and well-restored examples are rare.
This E9 Coupe is one of those rust-free examples, where the body was restored from the previous owner @2015 along with a full engine rebuild from Korman Autoworks, a very reputable BMW high performance engine shop.
This M30 also has a Schrick cam and triple Weber carburetors.
There has only been 1000 miles put on the car since the rebuild.
New shocks/struts were replaced all around.
The underbody is in excellent condition with no rot or visible rust; however, it should be noted the underside was treated with POR15, a leading rust inhibitor coating.
Additional performance upgrades from the current owner include a high performance Pertronix electronic distributor and coil, halo headlights with LED beams and stainless steel exhaust and headers.
The car sounds amazing going down the road with a deep European muscle car sound.
The current owner also restored the interior including new front and rear leather seats, carpets, new seat belts, new blue-tooth stereo with handsfree mic, new steering wheel and shift knob.
Additionally the wood trim on the dash and door panels was in rough shape and the current owner decided to sand the wood down, repair the structure of the trim and cover with carbon fiber.
It looks excellent.
The power windows all work.
The current owner also converted to European bumpers and installed a new heavy-duty radiator.
The car drives solid and is a fun going down the road.
It is estimated this BMW is pushing 200
hp due to its performance upgrades.
Hagerty valuations show these cars are appreciating rapidly and this one makes for a great investment.
Some things should be noted:
1) there is a small crack in the paint on the hood from the wind slamming the hood shut with a jump pack laying inside the engine compartment.
This caused a small ding and crack in the paint.
2) there is a quarter size dent in the front lower drivers side fender, 3) there is a paint chip that was touched up around the rear trunk emblem.
4) The A/C does not function right now as it still needs to be rebuilt.
The sale will come with the functioning factory compressor.
5) there is no choke installed on the triple Weber carbs and does require someone to sit there to warm up the car.
Once warmed up the car runs and idles awesome.
A manual choke can be installed inexpensively.
6) The headliner is in ok condition, but to make the interior show worthy, one might want to replace.
TO BE SOLD AT THE THROTTLE CAR CLUB AUCTION ON MAY 20th, 2023.
75-100 Collector Cars will be available to purchase.
