Although this one is a bit cheaper at $15k that the other one I posted recently:

I'm such a sucker for Alpina's, and here's another great looking example out of SoCal:
1982 Alpina C1 2.3 For Sale on eBay
This car has the following Alpina parts installed: 323i-based 6-cylinder engine, limited-slip finned-cover differential, front and rear sway bars, 7Jx15" wheels & wheel caps, rear rubber strakes (mud guards), front fiberglass spoiler, rear rubber spoiler, dash plaque (no. 3-2108), 4 (somewhat worn) floormats, dead pedal, front grille emblem, L&R trunk emblems, decal on front spoiler. The following parts could be from Alpina but cannot easily be verified as such: springs, shocks and struts, extra gauge cluster on dash, close-ratio 5-speed transmission, early mechanical fuel injection system, headers, center muffler, twin rear mufflers, manual (non-power) steering gearbox. The following parts are definitely not from Alpina: steering wheel (needing recovering) and shift knob (although owner has access to used Alpina steering wheel & knob which are correct for this car, which could be substituted at buyer's request), seats (Sparco driver's seat, and Recaro passenger seat), US (MPH) instrument cluster. The following stock Euro-version E21 parts are of course installed on the car: front and rear bumpers (currently painted gloss black, along with the center grille), grey "basket weave" fabric door panels and seats, rear skirt-mounted license plate bracket, manual windows, power mirrors, manual sunroof.

Check out this very clean Honda RC30 for sale on BARF (AZ, $25k!):
I have no business commenting on what this bike is worth. But I do know it looks every bit the perfect example of a RC30.

I was chatting with a Ducati.ms forum member about his RGV250, and had to hit eBay to see what kind of 2 strokes were available. My search didn't disappoint. Check out these 3 beauts for sale right now, all in the U.S. with titles from what I can tell:

REAR SHOCK IS FRESH LOW MILES WITH A FRESH CHARGE OF NITROGEN LAST MONTH
NEW BR8ECM PLUGS, GEARBOX OIL CHANGE, COOLANT FLUSH, POWER VALVES WERE DOUBLE PINNED AFTER I PURCHASED IN 2001. CYLINDERS WERE REPLACED BEFORE MY PURCHASE. THIS BIKE WILL KICK BUTT FOR A LONG TIME!

Note to self -- Go around the to the corner store for a Powerball ticket! ($74m, Wednesday)
1979 BMW Alpina B6 e21 on Roadfly ($28k, PA):
Clean, well documented, one of a kind car. One of only 533 built. Signed by famous German Racer Hans Stuck. This is production number 062 of this true Alpina B6 2.8 (E-21).
Remember this car? I did, and so did long time dancrouchblog.com reader, Neil, who dug up these 2005 links for this car that sold two years ago for $28k (Thanks Neil!)
1991 BMW Alpina B12 e32 For Sale on eBay ($23k US, Vancouver, Canada)
''BMW's Flagship Supercar'' #139 of 305 ever produced [...] professionally appraised at $65,000 {CAN}.
Being sold by 360Autosports (Importers), I just love this car. It's so austere and understated. Perfect Q-Ship!

Wow! I think if you're a regular reader of my blog, you know what a huge fan-boy I am of Alpina modified BMW's. Hartge is definitely in the same league of tuners. Tuners like Alpina and Hartge are so well respected in Germany, and so extensive in the engineering and modification they perform, that when these cars are completed they are titled under the tuner's brand name, not BMW!
With that foundation, check out this incredibly rare BMW e21 323i based Hartge H3 for sale in California on eBay:
Update 2.5.08: Sold for $16k. Sounds like a steal to me!
The e21 BMW 3 series model falls between the older BMW 1600/2002 series of 1966-1976 and the newer e30 BMW 3 series from 1983-1991. Considering how hot rare 2002's and e30 M3's are right now, it will be interesting to see where this e21 ends up. Historically, they have never received the love that the other two series have enjoyed. But the 323i was never imported to the states, let alone one modified by Hartge. This e21 could definitely be the exception to the rule. Not to mention the seller has done a great job with the ad including many details, photos and videos of the actual car.
I wish we didn't need a roof or bathroom remodel because I'm really excited about this car!

Details on what parts make up the Hartge e21 H3
Google search for 'hartge e21 H3' - Note how many of the links end up displaying this very car. The owner must have been very active in the community.

I am such a sucker for these 400cc gray market bikes! Good thing those home equity loan letters no longer overflow from the mailbox!!
Here's a 1994 Honda RVF400 that's been for sale on the Bay Area Riders Forum (BARF - clever) for some time. But according to his latest post, he might be willing to deal (Update: He's dropped the price to $6500! This really does sound like a steal!):
1994 Honda RVF400 NC35 CA titled.
$7,500 obo or will trade for NSR250 MC28 or MC21 (plus cash)
specs-
7500KM = 4650 miles
Two Brothers Pipe
Steering Dampner
Rearset Risers
Rear Ride height spacers 10MM
CRG brake and clutch levers
Front steel brake lines
NEW 520 Chain with Sprockets
NEW R&G non-Drilled sliders
Solo seat cowl
Titled and has what appears to be documented maintenance. Plus it's pure gray market bike sex!
And here's a 1994 Honda CBR400RR, aka the Baby Blade, on Craigslist San Francisco (do rare bikes just grow on trees down there??):
CBR400rr JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) bike with original Jap Title and California Street title current tags and insurance of course.
The bike is a 9 out of 10 mechanically. Fresh oil (always), recent carb tune and sync, plugs etc... Good brakes, suspension, tires are safe and legal but ready. Stored indoors on Battery Tender but it's always a good idea to replace your battery every 2 years anyway.
It's a great bike, fast and controllable, low to the ground so it's a smaller rider's dream that can seldom be found for sale in this country; especially in street-legal form.
It's my girlfriend's street-ride. She has ridden it on the occasional track day too. WOW, what an incredible little machine!
Has about 12k on it.
Pretty low miles and the bodywork looks original. For $4900, this looks like a total steal with the California title!

Check out his 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo for sale on eBay:
It will be interesting to see where the 1975 2002 Turbo Conversion I posted Friday, and this original Turbo auction end up. Especially considering the condition of this one is in rather, uh, original and un-restored. Bidding is already at $22k with 8 days to go! Considering other uber-rare BMW 2002 variants I've posted in the last year have commanded $30-45k, where do you think this one will end up?
Update: This car sold for a tick over $40k!!
dc
I spotted this Aprilia RS250 on eBay (Update 12.30.07: Relisted. Update 1.13.2008: 1 bid of $8k, reserve not met.) this morning and it's for sale right here in Oregon down in Medford. And it already has plates! Considering how difficult it is to title gray market machines, having this one plated and only 3 hours away is going to drive me crazy! (In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a fan of the RS250 Aprilia.)
Starting bid is $8k with no bidders yet and 2 days to go. Time to check my stocking to see if there's $8-10k hiding in the bottom 
Update 12.27.07: Here's another RS250 for sale on eBay:
Update 1.13.2008: Winning bid on this was only $7300!
1995 Aprilia RS250 on eBay, buy-it-now for $8500

Continuing with the awesome 80's rides I've posted recently, here's another beaut: 1989 Mercedes 560SEC Gray Market European specification car with only 30k miles on eBay:
Unique euro-only features include the 272hp V8, adjustable headlights from the cockpit, proper headlights and a ton of AMG goodies.
The listing has only 11 hours remaining and is currently at $17.9k, reserve met.
UPDATE 12.26.07: Sold for $19.1k.
The seller seems to be an SEC specialist and notes that he has already sold a few other low mileage examples and is making room for an 'AMG 560SEC widebody and AMG 560SEL 6.0 32V DOHC'.
