Hi all,
For you current owners of the CS coupe, what are the reward for owning such a rare, beautiful but inherently troublesome car? I am closing a deal on my 73 coupe, but would like your opinions before jumping on the bandwagon.
------------------------------------------------
While some of the "features" of the e9 are unfortunate (like the Karmann body fabrication and its inherent corrosion problems), the car is basically a dead reliable piece of machinery not unlike more modern M30 engined cars.
Attached is the shot of my '72 3.0CS following 100+ hours of disassembly and prepping for its new (original) Alpenweis color. Now I can begin reassembly! BTW, that's plastic where the windshield belongs/I pulled the glass to paint the car and haven't replaced it yet. The hood/Trunk/Doors were removed and painted separately, but were replaced for the external painting.
Just curious what you are referring to as troublesome.
Bob
