Back in the 80's there was another one sitting in a small college town not far from where I lived.

For now the grand-a kids, they lean-a their f***in bikes up-a against it." Even as a die hard bowtie fan, I wanted to cry.

Wisconsin's finest including the B+S engine.

The GTI is the daily driver, but still worth running up and down the mountains. The bike, of course, is pure fun no matter where I go.

Looks like a sweet ride. | double benz, haha. i didn't even think about that! it's definately a sweet car, but i started an engine/tranny swap-out right before "the news", so it's in about 5 pieces at this point. the 3.8L V8 orig to the car has 255,000 on it. the tranny is at about 150k. the body needs a little attention above the rear wells. the int is near perfect, and i even found a BLUE blaupunkt cd+ changer control to match! but when it was on the road, i can confirm.... there's a reason the speedometer goes to 120

Anyone can stick badges on them but, look at the hood, and from the interior pictures I have, it's unrestored. Barrett-Jackson auctioned one off (restored) for $350,000 not too long ago.
There are so few of them.

My son drives it now. I drive a '12 Subaru Outback.
Once in a while I take the BMW for a 20 min freeway drive. Man! What a car! Still! Just wow!

He loves it and we take it out once a week for a Father Son Drive. We go on a weekly run in search of old Tube Radios, Trains, Vintage Light fixtures and other Mostly Pre-War antiques.
Let's see some more Pictures. How 'bout some of the Ladies on the Forum?

She is thinking something sporty (she likes the looks of the Austin Martins, but that ain't happening on our paychecks) and I need something with a lot of headroom. I have a pickup so I don't need a ton of trunk space, but the Clubman looks like it can hold plenty of gear and still be a hoot to drive.

It's a mostly stock 1993 K1500 Blazer that I just bought late last year. I have lots of plans for it, nothing extreme but I intend it to be a strong daily driver.
I've started with the interior that I've replaced a couple missing / mismatched pieces already. 
It is currently wearing a set of beater rims from a newer tahoe with worn out highway tires while I strip and polish the original ones before putting on some 33" mud tires on it (after I rebuild the front end when the weather gets nicer). | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
