One of you super car guys need to do a real Pantera build.

as a bmw classics fan, and an owner to a bmw e34, (I know not the same car), this is a pretty amazing deal,you only need to fix the headliner and thats all, although because its an early model you gotta be a little carful because it might break easily, my suggestion is that, if something breaks, you can upgrade it to parts that are better on qauilty and handles good abuse, my early model e34 used to break down alot, when i did that "upgrades" she didn't break down for almost 2 years now. yes it doesn't add horsepower but you know you get a bullet proof car. either ways congrats on the car man, hopefully you have an amazing time with it.

Freddy definitely did not get fingered on this one! It was good to see your expressions from the passenger seat. I've owned numerous cars in which I've never been a proper passenger but I recall from the couple times that I was passenger while someone else drove that it was a completely different experience. You actually get to feel and hear your car in a way that you don't as the driver. Now of course I'm not speaking about your avg'/typical type vehicles but rather something that you feel/know is special. Consider giving it a try if you haven't already. You'll see what I mean.
