The E30 is alot for what it is, but sadly seems like it checks all the boxes to put it in that price range. For example this 318: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-bmw-318i-5/

Fun fact: Late model (plastic bumper) E30 convertibles when optioned, had a higher window sticker than that of an E30 M3 when new. 

Wow, didn't realize people were asking (and apparently getting) that much for late model verts, no wonder mine sold in less than 3 days...

they arent getting that much. that BAT ended in reserve not met.

Think this could fit in a 3er?

if a V12 with 2 snails can fit then a V10 definitely could, would be comical if it was just a Ram 2500 V10 with viper valve covers

Well... if you search on BAT, there are a few that DID sell for close to that, above and below.

Jesus. Would be sweet to just make that E31 a track car. Why part it out, they are so cool.

Viper V10's are overpriced truck motors IMO.  "prototyped as a Magnum 5.9 with two extra cylinders"  I will say that they are cool cars and I do enjoy them, just the cost of what they are doesn't tickle my fancy. With that being said, did you know the largest Viper parts distributor is in Wisconsin in the middle of nowhere? I have a great story about how I found that out, its just too much to type

"WE SPECIALIZE IN DODGE VIPER PARTS WE HAVE THE LARGEST SELECTION OF DISMANTLED DODGE_VIPERS IN THE COUNTRY."_

Agreed.  I am a pre facelift fan myself.

Without a doubt. Not saying its practical by any means. There are much better ways to spend that kind of coin with the same end result power wise.

Like on an MB V12 for less? https://rockford.craigslist.org/pts/d/part-out-1993-mercedes-600sel/6410624161.html

Or something for half the cost but able to make 3x the power? https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/pts/d/l92-62-ls-short-block-package/6405319752.html

Isn't the L92 an actual truck motor?

YUP!!!

• 2007-2013 Cadillac Escalade (L9H for MY 2009, L94 for MY 2010-2013)
• 2008-2009 Chevrolet Tahoe
• 2007-2013 GMC Yukon Denali/Denali XL
• 2007-2013 GMC Sierra Denali
• 2008-2009 Hummer H2
• 2009-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (as RPO code L9H)
• 2009-2013 GMC Sierra 1500 (as RPO code L9H)

But they also use the heads which are marked L92 on a few other motors. They are one of the better flowing heads I guess.(do your own research here)

im not from the hood, but id venture to say that the owner is being directly targeted and wants a change of identity to keep their enemy guessing.

[Jdesign]
