Here’s another street/track car of mine, which has been in my stable since 2001. BMW 3.0 CS, with a 3.5L at 12:1 compression, triple Weber 45 DCOE’s, close ratio dogleg gearbox. 280 lb/ft and 300HP moving a 2600 pound car. I drove this last week in Maine, on a 45 degree day- it has no side windows or heat. Light and nimble!
Slick top is the way, one of my top priorities for a car is no sunroof, I’ve had too many bad experiences lol
Since it's a car thread, I'll "park" this right here: I'm at that point when I don't drive the old cars much, so I've sold what I had, leaving a gaping hole in the lower garage. So now I'm seeing all these 55, 56, 57 T birds for sale. They were very hot 20 yrs ago. But it appears their collector generation is passing away, and the cars aren't really muscle cars, so there must be few buyers. You can get one of these insanely cool old rides in nice shape for 15k usd. I'm sorely tempted to grab one, but I value sleeping inside the house, so....
Has anyone else noticed this? I mean...think of the white one with the porthole that a young and super hot Suzanne Somers drove in American Graffiti. Crazy. I'll try to find a photo to post.
It's interesting how tastes move on as the primary buyers age out. Now E30 M3s and S2000s are commanding big $$.
That T- bird is a lot of cool for $15k.
