1973 BMW 3.0 CS Coupe Leather A/C PW

For sale this 3.0CS Coupe. It has recently been removed from storage and was brought back to life by a collector car and vintage racing specialist garage owned over the past few months. I will attempt to accurately describe the condition below.
Options: This is an original factory air conditioned, 4 speed, no-sunroof CS Coupe. Which, if you know these cars, is what you want!

Mileage: Original miles are just over 50,000.

Body: Every BMW fanatic out there will tell you the CS Coupes are notorious for rusting, and they are not lying to you. There is now surface rust on some bare metal components and some rust that should be tended to around the right front jacking point where the undercoating trapped some moisture (pictured.) It is still very sound and supports the car no problem but it needs to be cleaned up. There are a few other areas where the factory undercoat has peeled away from the metal, mainly around the rubber plugs in the floor. There is not rust through but I would scrape the undercoat clean, treat the metal, and re-undercoat. The only spot of rust on the body is on the lower RF fender where you can see bubbles have formed (pictured.) This will need to be repaired but is contained to this area and appears minor. The rockers, trunk, rear quarters, floors, doors, hood, trunk lid, etc are all extremely solid and show no signs of corrosion. Paint: The car was originally silver. Receive a very high quality repaint to the current dark blue done in the 1980's. The body is dead straight and the only place you can not tell it was originally blue is the engine compartment and the trunk under the mat as I did not have those areas color changed. The paint, now some decades old, has faded. I don't know if it will buff out or not, I have not tried. In fact the car has not been detailed at all for this sale, I wanted whoever buys her to know what they are getting without any doctoring.

Interior: Is all original and in excellent condition with the exception of the outside lower bolster of the driver's seat which has recently split. I have been told this panel could be replaced with matching leather rather than re-upholster the entire seat. The interior could use a good cleaning but again I wanted to show buyers exactly what it looked like after storage. You'll also notice the great vintage Motorsport 4-spoke wheel from the 1980's. The full tool kit is still in the trunk, as well as some vintage oil and fluids for you.

Wheels/ tires: The wheels on the car are a fancy (for the 1980's) true two-piece basket weave wheel I have just had a nice set of Yokohamas mounted on. I also have the original wheels that go with the car.

Mechanicals: The car runs, and always has run, extremely well. I was always a fanatic about maintenance. Way back when I fitted an upgraded pair of Weber carbs, an Ansa tube header, and full Ansa exhaust as well as had a BMW specialist properly tune the car. The Ansa exhaust front and mid mufflers have rusted out in storage because, well, they are Italian. It sounds great but it needs an exhaust. The engine has been checked over, fluids changed, new coolant hoses as needed, radiator cleaned and tested, fuel system flushed, etc but obviously it will need further tuning after sitting this long. The clutch and transmission are perfect. All hydraulics are great, and I just had the brake master cylinder and all 4 brake calipers rebuilt, all 4 rotors turned, and all of the brake hoses replaced with new. The air conditioning has been dead for decades but is all there. The power windows work, but extremely slowly as the regulators are likely gummed up with age old grease. The power antenna is dead. All of the gauges work, and the car has great oil pressure, sounds great, runs cool, and runs strong.

This is a great, solid, 3.0 CS however keep in mind she will need some TLC, some cleaning, and basic things like an exhaust and paint if you are inclined to make it perfect again.
