BMW 507 - A Million Dollar Offering?

This afternoon i'm gonna kick myself... i could buy one for 60 grand about 20 years ago? and now estimate: is 1,8-2,2 million... pfff..

I think it's one of the most beautiful cars ever.  well done Count Albrecht Graf von Goertz! (for the aluminum body)

It has a V8 but as strong as a L24.. 150 horse..  But yeah.. it's a 1959 car..

This hit my inbox via Hagerty this morning.

260Z 2+2 with this in the description: Power with a 2.6L with a longer wheelbase that makes her look even prettier.

I guess everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion, but the car does look nice.

Exactly.. the further in the past you get, you get less hp but more cubic inches 😀

These days a 1.0 turbo does the same as the L24

For your consideration, would the rarest Z be a 74.5 - only 3 months of production -  260 2+2 with automatic trans?

What does RNM mean?

Never mind: Reserve Not Met

As lots of americans don't realise, the 260z was made till 1979 when the 280zx came out.. so there are a lot more 260z and 260z 2+2's ... In america there was the 280z and the rest of the world got the 260z's..  I don't know for the rest of the world but we overhere in the Netherlands could not GET a 280z!  (only grey imports.)

That's why a lot of older guys here, who lived through the 70/80s in their 20/30's confuse the 280ZX with the 280Z 😅
