Please read this about this no reserve auction... YES NO RESERVE IS CORRECT!... YES NO RESERVE! Excellent opportunity to become an owner of a well cared for 1973 BMW 3.0CS coupe from California. Still has the original blue and yellow California plates. Lovingly owned by 3 owners and sparingly driven. Always garaged. One of the best 3.0CS coupes I have ever seen. Condition is superb and this is your chance to buy one of the most beautiful coupes that BMW has made. The values of these cars have been holding strong and are continuing to rise every year. This is a rare find as rust free coupes are virtually non existent. It is ready to drive and enjoy. All of the hard work was already done. From a recent paint job to the newly installed white leather seats to the newly installed BMW engine!
