I think the seller is just a sleazy car dealer type trying to pass off a re-badged base model. Here's another one: http://rockford.craigslist.org/cto/4941414106.html

Trying hard not to post ads in the men-seeking-men personals with his phone number....

First one looks much more legit than the second one. The descriptions are remarkably similar, but the phone numbers are different... whatever...

Is this e36 m3 the one that was FS a week or two ago but now with new wheels? It was also black and needing paint. They're starting to blur on me.

The first one is a ZHP. The second one isn't.

Electric Alfa looks like a pretty shady conversion. The AC compressor/power steering pump tied off to the side with bailing wire and the motor controller zip-screwed to the firewall at an angle really shows the builder's attention-to-detail. Worst of all the batteries don't even appear to be tied down. People have been building electric cars with lead-acid batteries and big clunky DC motors for at least 40 years now and it just doesn't pan out. That 15 cent charge i probably closer to two dollars and the range probably isn't enough for an average persons day of driving.

Plus it's wrong wheel drive.

Haha yeah it looks like the conversion was just thrown in there, I was just laughing because I didn't expect it when I clicked on the ad

My dad had one similar to this when I was little. His was a black '77 the first year you could get any 320i in the U.S.

The BF e21 guys are ripping this owner apart since it apparently doesn't seem to be a real Alpina. Looks clean tho.

been watching that one. wish it was a 6 cyl.

i'm sure some of you may have noticed this one:

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/4953767095.html

94 e34 touring, super low miles, in great shape. however, i found the car on some other sites and it appears it was in a bit of a front end accident, which of course the craigs ad doesnt mention. it was originally listed for $9500 (lol) sometime last fall and has slowly come down in price.  would be worth every bit of 5k if it is as nice as it looks. i considered selling mine and getting this one, but I still can't get over the standard 'beige' e34 interiors, they are so blah.
