There are bmw convertables from the 70's like this too. There was a coach builder that would make convertable bmw's and it was a kind of secret option so theres not that many.

The first time I'd ever seen an E21 Baur in person, the bumper had been chopped up, it was stanced, and covered in stickers. Why do that to an irreplaceable classic?

Because stance/scene people are irredeemable idiots whose mission in life is to ruin cars.

Sometimes it pains me to see people pull apart relatively rare cars to modify them for track use, but at least the end result is often ruddy quick. For example, if I had an Integra, I'd keep it basically standard, I wouldn't strip it out and cage it like DannyDC2 did with his - but he runs a straight 8 minute BTG time, so fair play to him, he's not sat in an Asda car park with stretched tyres and massive camber.

Though I'm not a fan of Baur conversions, much rather have a standard E21 or early E30 than that weird halfway house roof they did. The full convertible option people like Lumma did was far nicer.

I was looking up small convertibles and found out that in the late 70s Coach-builders were taking Cadillac Sevilles and turning them into convertibles. They turned these:

These cars look like optical illusions to me, is the front wheel well larger than the rear or is the car riding too low in the back, are the front wheels sticking out farther than the rears are? :raise:

The front does have a wider track, because that generation Seville was a modified F-body chassis (modified enough to have it's own designation), and the F-bodies had the same issue with front tires that stuck out more. It also has leaf springs in the rear. 4-wheel disk brakes, though.
Fun fact: That Seville also used an EFI Olds 350 small-block - the only time the Olds V8 was fuel-injected. The next generation used the terrible HT4100, and was FWD. Also had that lopped-off trunk.

Your post is full of greatness (especially the Olds, I have a soft spot for them.)

But the HT4100...how the hell does GM continually gently caress up mixing different metals and creating reactions with their coolant choices. Probably bean counters, but after the Vega you'd think they would have tossed a few bucks at their later projects.

i was always under the impression that there were different schools of donks. those that are awkwardly way up in the air and those that squat as low as possible on their wheels. but the large-rear end wheels are the common factor.

either way, i like when they squat low on their wheels. and generally when they're no larger than 28 or 26s

No, those were pretty drat cool actually. Had a boss who drove one back in the day, sure it was an early 90's chrysler product but it was so much fun to take the top off a pickup. I've wanted one ever since.

Nah that's just how those wheels look from the factory. It's ugly but it would take some effort to grind them perfectly like that. The surface bits are angled inward to the rim and then sharply angled toward the center. They may also have some scraping on them, but the coloring of the wheel was like that before.

hmm i dont think those are oem because they have the cheap-as-poo poo looking hub design that can be drilled for two different bolt patterns.
