E30 Wagon

#1

I know it is off the topic of racing, but does anyone know of a E30 wagon for sale? I know they did not import them, but there are a few that made it to the states.

No, but I would love to own one like this:

or this

But a $12k E30 might be a little wacky. Small price to pay to be the only one on the block. Come to think of it, my E30 'vert is the only one on the block.

Wow, nice cars.

i know of one for sale with NY title for 6.5k in NJ. No motor included but otherwise complete. You can check it out here: http://picasaweb.google.com/gutenparts/NewListings12232010#

My friend’s at GutenParts and Service, an bmw specialist shop are the owners. They have 2 of them, this one is for sale. The good thing with this car is you have a title already so no need to federalize.

what’s funny is that i know the previous owners of both those cars. the NH one i’ve driven and is very nicely restored to mint condition by my buddy Howard who is a bit of an e30 nut. The 2nd one is being sold by the previous owner of the white touring that my buddy Levent@Gutenparts is selling. As far as I am aware there are only a handful (10-15) tourings in the country.

I will be shipping some back this year, will be in Europe April-August, part of the plan is to buy tourings and fill them with ALfa Romeo parts and do a roll on shipping so I do not have to use containers…

Contact me off board if you are interested in a touring.

Thanks

Lol, you are awesome.

make sure you have paperwork to prove they are older than 25yrs if you want to clear them through US customs.

Enthusiast Auto has/had 2 of them. Call Eric or Evan and tell them I sent you. I’m not honestly sure if either are for sale. iirc, at least one was going to be built into something fast.

They likely know of any/all E30 tourings that are available in this country. At a minimum, they know all about any other car out there that you’re looking at.
