In Reply to: there are 2 kinds of coupes.... posted by doug on January 25, 2001 at 06:20:40:


from martin buckley's book, "BMW: the classic 6-cylinder coupe":

"...in my opinion there is no such thing as a BMW coupe in average or "not bad" condition. these cars are either seriously rotted (though admittedly the degree of seriousness may vary) of they are not... there is no point in buying a rotten coupe cheaply for restoration because the costs incurred would massively outweigh any increase in the value of the finished product."

If borderline coupes are crushed then the potential benifit of numbers (as seen in the chevy and ford restoration market) will be diminished. I applaud, encourage wish to aid all who rescue coupes.
