Selling THE CAR

[Billsmith]

 

I acquired this beauty two years ago.  My son and I decided it would be a great project to embark on together during  

COVID.  The time has come to find a new home for this remarkable car.  I “adopted” it on BAT after it had been resting in the PO’s garage for 5 years.  During that 5 years, it had only been driven a little over 200 miles.  After “taking custody”, I lovingly brought her back to life and have been a part of taking her from being a survivor to being a reliable old friend who gets lots of envious looks whenever we are out and about.  

Not being a mechanic or a classic car guy, I must say I have learned a lot over the past two years.  I have done some of the work on it myself buy relied on an experienced, old school BMW mechanic, to bring the performance back to OEM standards.  I thought I would start this process by posting a video showcasing THE CAR.  Hope you enjoy the video and look forward to hearing your comments.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Try posting your ad in the FAQ classifieds cars for sale forum.

this is arrogant....we have a for sale section.... post a price along with a lot of pictures and your location

easy, esty, I think this guy knows little or less than little about,  A. selling a car like this, and B. anything about how faq works. 

 

I see cars and parts placed in the wrong category, easy to do for the uninitiated. I watched the video and from what I can see this is a really original well running car.  He produced, composed the music and drove the car. 

 

And he is offering the car to us!

Regardless of this post not being located in classified section of the forum, an asking price and location should, in my opinion, accompany any topic of this nature.  This isn't an auction site, I don't think.

Stephen, I agree, but it seems to me an honest mistake.  I think he saw this as an introduction. A starting point.

Great car. I’d buy it.

Hving owned a Sahara 73 (carbureted) for the past (nearly) 45 years, I have a soft spot for the car.  

 

Folks, don't get your panties in a wad about the poster or where it was posted....I took it as a really nice video of a really nice car that means a lot to him and his son, whom I think did the video and composed the accompanying music (see very end of the video).  He's proud of what the two of 'em accomplished in bringing it back to life.  That he wants to sell it is almost incidental...

 

cheers and happy new year

i agree, thanks for the recognition

 

my point, if you are selling a car, list the price and tell the market where the car is...those are just basic, primary elements of selling

The video is very nice, as is the car.  GLWS, I am sure the new owner will be very happy.

I did not intend to offend anyone with my post.  I have tried to figure out how to take it down but could not.  I have reported it to the administrator and requested that it be removed.  Happy New Year to everyone.
