Thanks guys. This is about as un-BMW as you can get. I wanted something unique and considered 2002s and 8-series but would have been way in over my head with either... so I went off the deep end in the other direction.

It has a 455 V8 (7.4L!), a bench seat, and the auto tranny shifter is on the column. It's a total time capsule and I'm having a blast with it.

It's not a trophy car/trailer queen, but it's been nicely restored and a great "driver" as-is. I'm looking forward to car shows and even just "classic car nights" at the local diners.

It's got a muscle-car exhaust on it which sounds bitching. Sorry if it disturbs the neighbors but I've been putting up with their Harleys for almost 10 years!
