Say Hola to project Castellón!
Some of you guessed it. It's the genesis, the very first generation of the 3 series!
1980 BMW E21 323i, the most powerful 3 series back in the day!
Truthfully, I wasn't looking for this model, I just did my usual scan of car listings before I went to bed when this one caught my eye. Texted the seller in the morning and got the ball rolling.
It's been off the road and stored in a garage for the last 25 years! Speedo reads 93.484 km (58k miles), no idea if it's original but sure would be nice if it is.
I was told they didn't try to start it which is excellent. It's rust-free but later I learned it has a bit of rust in the corners of the rear windows but the rest of it is solid. Don't know yet if the paint is original.
The seller had a lot of people interested in it so I had to act fast. I sent the deposit on the same day and the following day (Saturday) a good friend of mine from Alicante went with his truck to buy it and pick it up. The old classic Mercedes tow truck is his. :)
I was so nervous whether I'll be fast enough to lock down this beauty, but it's officially mine! This model is super rare, especially a barn find like this one.
I've never had a proper old-school classic BMW such as this one and I'm beyond ecstatic! I'll be flying to Spain in a week or two as I need to go there in person and take care of the paperwork. The documents of the car are lost so I have to do a notary contract and some other stuff.
Please keep this on the down-low, as I won't reveal this project until the video drops!
Thank you! Can't tell you how excited I am about this project. :D
