    1978 e12 530 For Sale B/O

    Hello everyone,

    I got a 1978 530 e12 on Weds night in hopes to put it back on the road cheaply for a winter car to keep my e21 off the road and the extra miles off my truck. Well, I got some bad news. Its going to need more work then I was willing to do to it. If anyone is interested in a e12, PM me. Here is good and the bad:

    Good

    Motor rebuilt 500 miles before it was parked for 4 years -My shop checked the engine and they said the inside is clean and it does turn over with ease via the starter (didn't start it because the fuel was going to be drained)
    Clutch was also replaced at the same time for the 4-Speed Manual Transmission
    Blue interior is almost perfect. Seats, door panels, and dash are all very nice
    14" aluminum Alpina style BMW wheels

    Bad

    Currently not running but ran when parked
    Thermal Reactor bad
    Front end needs work
    Brake and fuel lines are all rusted
    Rubber lines cracking
    Rust on lower drivers door and lower drivers fender
    Smells like mildew
    trunk does no open for some reason

    Its savable for the right person, that person is not me. I'd rather put the money into my e21. The excitement was short lived. I like the car alot but I don't want to put the time or effort into it. Perfect for the e12 lover or someone who needs a good engine.

    $600 or Make me an offer!
    The car is located in Lakewood, NJ 08701. Email me at jtformula@aol.com or you may call me at 732-673-2347
    THE E21 MOVEMENT IS ON - You can either go with me or against me, the choice is yours!
