[BMWCSRegistry] coupe for sale soon

Fri Jul 20 11:01:47 EDT 2007

For the guy looking for a coupe  in Portland Or. I have one in Seattle that 
I am going to sell when I find the time to deal with it. It's a 74 3.0csa, 
of course some rust but nothing devastating. I will put together an add 
soon. Meanwhile call for particulars and pics.
