THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 1973 CSi is in good to very good 99% rust-free condition overall with excellent shock towers
front and rear and fairly solid underside with some beginning of rust areas on the floor sections. The paint has a
very nice lustrous shine with what looks to be original chrome and trim. It is missing one of the rear under-bumper
pieces and rear badging with other imperfections on the body of this car that include a few isolated corrosion
spots, touched up nicks and other minor blemishes. Inside the rear boot, the tool kit and the elephant skin side
inserts are missing though the original spare tire, jack, rigid cover panels and carpet are in place.
THE INTERIOR
The interior of this E9 coupe is in good overall condition with all working lighted gauges [except the odometer],
good heat with working blower motor, near flawless vinyl dashboard, nicely reupholstered seats front and rear, nice
door panels, original headliner and working manual crank sunroof, cool period-correct stereo and manual front
windows. Imperfections inside this classic cockpit include [but not limited to] deterioration and cracking of the
wood trim at the corners of doors and dash, one rear window inop, light cracking on the original "bus" steering
wheel, worn carpet pieces with one missing section, tattered bottom of the door upholstery bottom. Overall this is
one still very handsome cockpit that needs little to be perfect again!
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This old coupe starts easily, runs fairly well [there is still an occasional sputtering which I am told is due to a
worn TPS unit], drives quite well with light and responsive steering and nice tracking down the road. The
suspension is supple and quiet, the braking is strong and true, the transmission shifts beautifully [recommend new
shifter bushings for an even crisper feel]. With its open cockpit and smooth inline six cylinder engine, piloting
this beautiful coupe on the open road is truly a blissful and attention getting driving experience.
