BimmerBros is selling this great looking, original 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo on eBay:

Recently acquired from the collector owner for the last 23+ years, this is one of a mere 60 examples currently in existence in the United States. [ONLY 1,672 total examples of this model were ever manufactured!] Finished in superb “Chamonix” white over black interior with custom cloth Recaro seats, this splendid example is one of the most unique classic BMWs you will ever see on the road.

The last BMW 2002 Turbo I listed went for $40k!

Check out this very clean Honda RC30 for sale on BARF (AZ, $25k!):

I have no business commenting on what this bike is worth. But I do know it looks every bit the perfect example of a RC30.

Let’s start with the bad news: The listing shows a buy-it-now price of $48k and it’s in Norway.

1972 Alpina 2002 Touring on eBay

If you watch this blog regularly, you know I’m a 2002 fan. But $48k? Really?!

Found this 1993 Ducati SuperLight on the Bay Area Craigslist:

$9500 and 2100 miles. Keep in mind these were rare to begin with and only 300 were imported. And I love the old 911S and original SuperSport in the background!

The Audi S2 and RS2 were never imported to the states. This recreation is about as close as you could likely get and nearly no expense was spared in its development as the extensive modification list details.

1990 Audi Coupe Quattro For Sale on VWVortex

[...] The car has been awesome for me. It really is everything I want and it is definitely a head-turner to everyone. However, now just isn’t the time with an infant and the purchase of a house. I never tracked the car and didn’t even drive it much. I put maybe 2k miles on it since I bought it in May of ’07 and it has been in the garage since. I just had it into Redmond Werkshop for an oil change and they checked everything over and said it all looked good (fluid levels, CV’s, etc.).

ASKING $20,000
I AM TAKING OFFERS! However, please do not lowball me and I will not part anything out. I also have a book full of receipts from time of swap, as well as an itemized list with prices. To rebuild this car would cost over $30k.

I am located in Seattle

Follow the link above for quite an impressive list of work and rare parts. The standouts in my mind are the rebuilt S4 long block, the 6 speed transmission, RS2 bodywork, and numerous replacement/upgrades of related parts.

It’s always difficult to put a price on a completed, personal project car like this one. No doubt if it were an authentic, gray market, and plated car, it would be worth more. But many of the choices made with this car, like the unusual Audi gray, sport buckets, and wheel selection are very individual in taste. But for $20k and the list of rare and rebuilt components, it’s got to be a bargain to the right buyer.

Rich in Redmond sent me this note, “Up here in Redmond – every day is like a daily driver autoshow”

2007 Ferrari F430 Spider F1 on Seattle Craigslist for $319k

[...]A very RARE and hard to find 2007 model. Loaded with all the right and necessary options with a 253k sticker.[...]

So if I get my math right, that is a profit of $23 per mile. Or $66k profit in just over 2 months if the car is driven on a 15k miles per year average.

Excuse me while I go take a closer look at my portfolio LOL!

Thanks for the link Rich!
