Hopefully this is in the spirit of the contest. Note the "ULTRA LEATHER INTERIOR WITH ARMADILLO & OSTRICH INSETS". What a draw!

lol asking 137k but too lazy to write up more information. "WAY WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION TO MENTION IN THIS SALES AD" No it isn't you loving dumbass, there is no word or character limit you're going to run into other than your own dumb laziness.

I believe it did eventually move under its own power. And he did not spend $250k on it. He spent north of $300k.

Those cars are beautiful and easy to work on and aftermarket parts for days. Cross compatible with a gigantic number of other BMW parts, could easily drop a 5 speed in there. Sell the other cars and get that one! IIRC the stock engine can take like ~4-5 psi boost and if you replace all the inside bits the block will happily take ~10. There's ample room in the engine bay for turbos, too.

The fact I could go buy a similar car at an auction that Richard Rawlings had his group of bodgers throw together in a cloud of fake Discovery Channel drama for half of that is what amuses me.

Snowy posted:That paint job is perfect as is It's going to be matte black (because I have no talent or access to quality painters. "Hot Rod" black, I can spray outside). Will that do? Original color is silver, BTW, but it was (cheap - think Earl Scheib) gloss black when I got it. Oh, and that window has been reinstalled since the picture was taken. It was out to figure out replacement weatherstripping, as there's no ready-made catalog item for that particular window. Raluek posted:They're alright, but imagine how much better it would look with black Cragars or those bigger modern rally wheels Well, yes. What you can't see is the peeling chrome on those wheels. I'm going to have to figure out how to strip them, and then paint and polish them. $400 with 80% Nexen 275/40-17s several years ago at a swap meet. Sadly, it's been sitting for so long, the tires are starting to dry rot. edit: it also looked pretty good with mid-70s Olds Rallye IIs with no trim rings:
