I got this car a couple weeks ago so I thought I'd post up some pics. It's an 82 320is original color with original black vinal interior. The interior is imaculate but the body is to far gone to save so I'm just going to use it as a winter car. It drives great but I'm still trying to get used to only having 100 hp! :stickoutt

Exterior looks good though, but evil lurks underneath sometimes. Hell, even your window lock strip is still like new, and those never look new, well unless they are new...

Why can't I find a "beater" with an interior like that? :(

No iS is a beater and I don't think the General Lee livery will do the car justice. Just buff it and drive it.

if you're going to beat it up, maybe you should give me your recaro's ;-)

LOL... Trust me it's a beater! If you look underneath it is totally rusted out and I can see alot of bondo also. Actually every body panel on the car except the roof has rust. I'm going to sell the complete interior out of it probably next spring. I would hate to see a good black vinal sport interior go to waste. After that it will probably be roll caged and built as a cheapo autocross car.

I want to sell the interior as a compleat set. Seams to me that since everything in the interior is in good shape it makes sense to keep it all together.

Also did you mean the front air dam?

Man you guy's all seam to think I really have something here! How much do you think it's actually worth? I know the interior alone is probably worth what I paid for it.

I think I'll probably part it out next spring. I have a spare m20 engine so I'm thinking of parting out the interior and the drivetrain and build a little autocross/rally car out of it. But in the mean time I need it as a driver so i don't want to sell anything off of it yet.

That's no beater. It may have rust on the underthieth but it's not coming through the paint from what I could see. The body looks solid, that interior looks great, all that's left to see is the engine bay. This was a good find!!

Yeah, I wouldn't mind the whole car either, and I could drive it home (depending on where you are in Minne-snow-ta). PM me with an asking price when you think about selling.
