This gorgeous Biarritz is for sale on Ebay. Body #1267 had an Ivory top from the factory in #96 Carrera with a Dundee interior. I hope the Buyer enjoys this iconic automobile.

Is this what these cars really look like when the FACTORY air suspension is all the way down?  And why no pictures with the car at normal ride heigth?
Sure looks like an aftermarket bag job to me.

Because they can, and have the funds to accomplish it.

BUT, they fell short in the funds department by replacing the top radiator hose with a cheap convoluted hose.

How soon we forget what customizers like Saoutchik did to post-war, then top of the range, Cadillacs.

 They changed the original beige interior to green.   Looks odd with the dash color and interior different.

Looks like the money ran out before they got to changing the color or the dash and steering wheel too.  ::)

Crests added to the fenders as well. Offered by a pro means heightened alert!

Good question. Any owner has the option of traveling to their  own objective. To select a low production model may not be best with the higher 6237G ((19,978) and 6337J (21,585) models available. There are low mileage original factory air ride 6467E (1,285) models available with a Collectability Level of A.

According to the rather fine print in the listing ----

"This 60 year old temperamental factory air ride system has been upgraded with a newer compressor system nicely concealed in the trunk."

It could be the air ride is completely deflated for the picture.  Have to assume it has newer bags.

Although looking further I see it has the original air compressor installed and belted --- AC compressor belt is missing.

Belted compressor means nothing. The compressor needs to be belted (as it is on mine, which was converted to springs many years ago) in order for the power steering to operate.
