You know the drill - be patient, they pop up and some of them are extremely nice. How long have you been Six-less?

I would say about 5 years now. i collect a bunch of cars from old muscle cars, ie, BOSS 302, 66 convertible vette to 88 M3 ect. My last one was very nice. Picked it up from a guy last name was King over in the Oakland hills. It was in a number of mags and it was built the right way. there was a pretty nice one that sold over at Bat a few weeks ago but i wasn't sure i wanted one at that point. should have just pulled the trigger but you know how that goes. So that's my story, i suspect its the same with a lot of folks here.

Hey that was Ernie King's 914-6. I almost bought that many years ago when he was selling it. I have a stack of pictures of that car still. I drove it for about an hour with my wife. It was a bit extreme for the street, for me. But it was a solid build and would no doubt command top dollar. Ernie was great guy.

Ernie sold me the original engine (in boxes) for that car

Damn! Why can't someone post that about my original engine????

Get ahold of Perry and buy that baby back. Right?

OK - Good luck with the M5. I had a '03 M5 and loved it.

For sure good price. I asked the owner a few questions he said there was some rust but nothing terrible. Carbs need sorting and the rear calipers have issues (sticking). did someone here snag it??

Posted by: vdavie Sep 22 2015, 10:37 PM

Yes I bought the M5 off Bat. 60 k miles . I already have a 89 M3 so I thought this would be a nice addition.
