    “So they built 50 of these, and now three have been offered on BaT. That says a lot about the stature that @BaT has achieved in the collector car world.”

    “As the 3rd owner of this wonderful car I can tell you it was my pride and joy from roughly 2009-2014. All records and receipts from Esoteric and San Antonio Texas were mine. Car was a later production VIN so had a couple unique and relatively rare options … Rosso scuderia brake calipers … only available in the later production run as many cars had Rosso corsa calipers even though the exterior was spec’d in Rosso scuderia … one of those details that ‘if you know you notice’
    Also…”

    “For those who are about to restore one of these models some advice. One of the most frustrating part of the restoration was obtaining the right size rubber souround for the door opennings. Tried twice from a well known UK supplier and they both failed. Found a Cicogna made part at a German supplier which finally worked.”

    “I have such a weird taste in cars. I just received an alert for an 8k mile 540i 6 speed and this 74 deville. Hilariously enough I’ve owned both.”

    “Some final hour Sport evolution M3 fun facts.
    The sport evolution is the 3rd evolution of the E30 M3 homologated for racing. It was produced for just 3 months in 1990 resulting in 600 models. 500 models were required to evolve a race car at the time. Only 204 Red Sport evos were ever made.
    This car is 100% original in terms of parts. The modifications are exactly as it left BMW.
    The Sport evo was the only E30 M3 to feature a 2.5 Liter S14 engine making 238 HP.
    Some easy to spot visual…”

    “In the 70’s (in college), I had a summer job at Stern-Hasskell ( high end dealer ) in the Bronx NY. That is where I saw my first and only Mangusta. I never forgot it. It is as stunning today as it was all those many years ago. Thanks for the memories!!”

    “20 or so years ago my wife and I were staying at the Cypress Inn in Carmel. One morning I got up very early, so early that the hotel staff had not begun morning preparations.
    I stumbled down into the lobby and saw an elderly lady walking the other way. I asked her if she knew where I could get a cup of coffee.
    She smiled a 10,000 watt smile and said there was a place around the corner, or if I wanted to wait she’d make me some.
    She wasn’t in a uniform and had no name tag so not quite…”

    “A cassette deck next to an 8-bit onboard computer, wrapped in wood trim. Perfect. I hope the next owner shares my irrational nostalgia for older interiors.”

    “Not an uncommon swap in the late 1980s. I recall reading a Pontiac Magazine from that era where someone restored a ’69 Firebird that had the Chevy motor in it. There were far more parts available for small block Chevys either through catalogs like J.C. Whitney, or in junkyards, which were chock full of them. And, hey, if it ain’t broke…why fix it? If it gets to the point where the 350 needs to be pulled, then you can start thinking about putting a proper Pontiac motor back in. But,…”
