You’ll never sell this so you might as well give me the seats

It's not that far off of what I expect to hear from folks.  As jokingly ridiculous as this statement is, people out there do ask and say such things like they are doing you a favor.   And then there are some who just want to tell you how bad your car is yet they have no interest in buying.   

 

The flood gates be open with this thing thar called the interweb.

I was hoping my sarcasm was blatantly obvious. Beautiful car I hope it sells to a deserving new owner.

I saw this car a couple weeks ago at his shop, first time I ever saw one in real life. REAL nice car, if this is in your budget you will not be disappointed. I have no idea when/where you'd find a car like this again.

I have a European 81 Baur TC (saphirblau).  It has a 1.8 with K injection, 5 speed.  I love the way this car runs and drives, more than my 76 2002!   I will only sell when I'm too old to drive.

 

My 76 was 49 state and since I live in California I had to put back the smog stuff.  Long story short it is now legal, but I'm thinking of selling because love of the Baur.

 

$15,000 is a fair price for a 79 Baur.  I paid $23,000 for my 81.

 

I was also tempted to do the M20 (inline 6) conversion but changed my mind after installing some Alpina recommended stuff.  I'm happy with the 1.8

The 2.0 motor is fine for spirited driving, just don't attempt to drag race any Hondas or Toyotas.  It's faster than my 89 Mustang with a 2.3.

4 speed unless you count reverse then it's a 5 speed. Open diff but the Recaro's are cloth so those have limited slippage.

Wow - I’ve not seen that Zender set up before.  Interesting.  

 

That color is great - very classy.  The interior is amazing.  Seems like a lot of car for $15k.  

 

Can you still buy the rear canvas portion of the top, I wonder?

 

Now my wheels are turning.

indeed! 

 

The fold down portion would most likely be a boat shop custom at this point in time.  

 

The top boot I have only seen for sale ONCE on ebay about 10 years ago.  I passed thinking oh another will come along. 

 

Still holding my breath.
