This is a reverse Ebay story. I was getting a bagel in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY when I noticed a parking lot full of Peugeots. Across the street was a foreign car dealer. I looked in the window, and there was a 911 cabriolet, a Jaguar XKE, a 356 speedster, and this 3.0 CS. 25 Minutes later, I had the owner extract it from the small showroom and I took a test drive. It was strong and seemed sound in the shock towers, rockers, door jambs, etc. The owner said it was traded in on a Ferrari by a Long Island collector. He also said that the original owner had it converted to a stick (by the dealer) from automatic at time of purchase, because he liked everything about the car, except the tranny and a stick could not be found or had at the time. An interesting story that I will try to research at some point. As we closed the deal, he mentioned that the car is on Ebay. I looked at it once I got home and had to chuckle. As with all Ebay purchases, a few good pictures can be misleading. Although the car was in pretty good structural shape, the interior is nowhere near as good as it looks in the pictures. There were a few areas where rust was bubbling under the paint on the exterior, and the engine bay had layers of baked on grime. None-the-less,  a pretty original car with what feels like a sound drive train. Obviously I thought it was a good find for a car in the northeast.
