sweet!
Nice ride, any luck on the VIN stuff?
Not really, cause its pre-1980 vin which is like 7 characters long…most sites don’t search any but the 17. I really was just curious, while waiting to pick it up I was getting bored. LOL
Thanks!
whats your plans for the car?
Clean! I don’t blame you for picking that up at all. I love the older 3 series they almost remind of the old 2002’s.
Nice!
AutoX car?
Looks clean. Is that a factory color?
that is a cool-lookin car
I like that. Nice find!
yes, it is called Kastanienrot…which is Chestnut Red Metallic Red
i was trying to get one of those for a month but couldnt find one…i really liked them, i would go with an s2k swap or 2jz to keep the I6
I like the looks of the car, but I think I’d stay with a BMW driveline if it were me. That thing wouldn’t need a huge motor to really scoot, maybe an earlier M5, or a newer 3 series. How much power do the newer 330s have?
2JZs are super badass, but I am a little old-fashioned when it comes to motor swaps I guess. A 65 Cobra replica with a Chevy in it seems totally screwed up to me. That’s a little different because Ford and Chevy are rivals, but it seems more “right” to me to stay within the brand when decent engines are available. Like Jesse on here with the Miata…perfect for the LS1.
…junk
In regards to a swap…at this point I would stick with the BMW motor options- but there are lots of possibilities with this car, so with $$ anythings possible.
I personally am not in the market for swaping the motor so for now the M10 is staying where it is, and I’ll be working with it to get what I want out of the car.
