OK. Not free. But I don’t want to sell it to anyone in buffalo. I mostly posted this here in hopes that It would get cross posted elsewhere. I’m not active on very many forums, but I know some of you are. MPD, Gennaro… looking at you guys.

Here’s the link to the ebay auction:

And here’s the thread I’ve been starting. E30tech, r3vlimited, bimmerforums

Title: FS: The E30 GTR. $30k NY

Things:  
There is a good chance you already know this car.

It’s expensive. But it’s 66% of what I’ve got into it.

I made an ebay auction that has more info: [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110956805397](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110956805397)

I have a blog that has EVEN MORE info: [http://newman.onyxsyndicate.com/e30gtr/e30gtr\_00.html](http://newman.onyxsyndicate.com/e30gtr/e30gtr_00.html)

Here’s a picture of the car:  
 ![https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/206893_10150171700009365_7265345_n.jpg](https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/206893_10150171700009365_7265345_n.jpg)

Here’s another:  
 ![https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/32051_425459044364_1995225_n.jpg](https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/32051_425459044364_1995225_n.jpg)

A fair amount of info, specifically about the current status of the car can be found on the [EBAY LINK](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110956805397)

If you think the price is too high, that’s fine. But that’s less than what it’s worth to me.

* * *

If you post it on another forum will you please add my email: ctnewman at [gmail.com](http://gmail.com) (post it like that too avoid spam bots please)

Tell your friends. My motivation to sell it is small. There is no lien on the car. If you cross post it, thank you. Please make sure that the links still work. ❤

Maybe bump your build thread on here with a link to the FS ad, and get ahold of Jalopnik for “nice price or crack pipe” 🙂

☹ I’ll post it on some boards I’m on later this evening when I get time. Sad to see that its up for sale. Love driving this thing and how unique it is. I guess its p-car time, that would me very mature eh?

Haha. I’ve been saying I’ll sell it for like 2 years. I doubt it will ever fetch what it’s worth to me so I will own it forever.

May I ask why you don’t want to sell it in Buffalo?

The only time I’ve seen it in person was in the ECC South parking lot a couple years ago. I was walking out of class and saw it parked a few spots away from my old MINI. I drooled over it for about a half hour, all by myself.

GLWS man, this thing is honestly probably my favorite build, ever.

Also, I really want those pedals. Custom fab’d, I’m assuming?

Because I don’t want to have to see it at car shows or on the street. I’d be sad.

It was at ECC only once when I had to take a shitty driver’s class.

Pedals are one off, yes.

Did I not give you the steering rack transfer block? I’m pretty sure I did. If not let me know. I will check through my things.

I still have your laser level, you may have it back.

Thanks for the credit, I like the foot notes, they denote experience.

I hope it finds a good home and the check clears.

I was just talking to Cass how badass this thing is, and we figured ballpark asking price would be around $30k

Good luck with the sale dude. Love this. At.
