What a beautiful car. I knew they were 7-figure cars at this point but seems like prices are even higher than I thought. I saw the former Elvis car that BMW restored and had on display when I was at the Zentrum in 2016 (side note... Trump Election Day of all days... grrr) - truly a work of art. It sounds amazing in those videos too.

I have to admit that while I like the 507 a lot, it's hard for me to imagine buying a car from that era and in that price class that isn't the 300SL roadster.
Not that I can afford either of them. Edit: Still kicking myself for not buying a 190SL project when they were "affordable."

a) this is a 150hp engine. b) engine revs are, uh, mechanically limited. you don't really want to rev it out.

Oh boy.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...arrera-gts-13/ Wow someone built a car for me and forgot to give it to me.  EDIT: My one quibble with those neo-Fuchs is that the front offset looks weird. |
