Mike Burroughs 1971 BMW 2800CS E9 Stance|Works

When Stance|Works Editer-In-Chief Mike Burroughs first introduced his 1971 BMW 2800CS E9, he bottled the emotions of his latest ownership in one paragraph: "Driving the E9 feels almost like an opportunity; a privilege. The chance to preserve a bit of automotive history as well as inspire those who find themselves looking at it. Even those without a love for cars find some inherent value in the car we've put together, and in turn, everything we do."

An instant showstopper, Burroughs' E9 is the posterchild of Stance|Works and, more so, the "stance" movement -- a growing automotive culture that embraces the "art" of dramatic wheel fitment to push aesthetic boundaries.

Shockingly, Mike announced on Facebook that he will be selling his pride and joy and has listed the BMW coupe onto Craigslist.

The description on Craigslist is honest, sincere, and quite modest:

"Up for sale is my 1971 BMW 2800CS. I'm selling the car because I'm ready to move on to other projects and would love to see this go to a good new home."

Continuing to go through the specs of the rare machine, the listing never fully emphasizes just what a celebrity this particular BMW is. What's more, Mike even goes to highlight some of its flaws, which are remarkably minor consider its 41 years of service.

Within hours since Mike posted his listing on Facebook, the share has already garnered more than 230 'likes'. An opportunity to purchase a piece of automotive history as unique as Burroughs' stanced 1971 BMW 2800CS E9 comes as often as the Halley's comet. Visit the Craigslist ad listing to learn more about the car or visit the Stance|Works website to learn more about the stance culture.
