If you happened to be in or near Central Kentucky, there is a '77 or 78 530i sitting in a field outside Lexington The elderly man that owns it want's only $400. It is a Pea Green with the Brown Leather,
"WAIT"
Before you go to drooling, there a re a coulple problems, It is a rust bucket, however it is all exterior rust, the shock towers are amazingly solid. There is window glass that has been replaced with plexiglass and the clutch is toast.
I did hear it run, and it did seem to run alright, but it is truly a dog and fit only for parts. It does have a four speed."Yes I seriously concidered buying it but I just don't want to convert mine."
Later Ya'll
: The tranny on my 77 530i has gone south. Can have it repaired but $$$$. If anybody has a good 4-speed manual for sale, e-mail me at bubbamikey@hotmail.com. Please state your asking price and location (shipping).Thank you for your time.
