damn that'd be a find lol

[MR E30 325is]

What a find!

[LateFan]

As original as it is, I don't really like those extreme wide body Cobras without huge YUGE wheels to support the look. Maybe the original wide Halibrands are gone?

Funny they don't even mention the E30..... chopped liver??!

[JRKOUPE]

chopped liver for sure........it even looked like an iX

anyhew, there were several big block body styles that varied ever so slightly, but yes the rear flares really needed wiiiiiide rubber to fill up. But I do recall, and this find appears to be such, there was a wide hipped street version w/ these very sunburst wheels ....so these wheels appear to be correct and orig

[JRKOUPE]

another w/ sunburst...street version...no side pipes etc etc etc

many youngns are so used to seeing kit cars where the rear flare is so very wrong( excluding era and kirkham) that seeing the "real" huge rear unfilled flare seems off...lol

Yeah, cleaner without the sidepipes, and easier on the calves! Those wheels remind me of those old Mustang GT wheels. Halibrands were so sharp!



That 275 aluminum is an original rare bird too.

[JRKOUPE]

hali's are pure porn...

Im 15 yo, and Im getting out of a real 427 snake....side pipes....its like 1972........and I effing FRY my ankle......driver says..."oh yeah I forgot to say b careful..."

[LateFan]

That AWII IX is just begging for a timing belt/fluid change and a good detail.. would look fantastic.

Yeah, this was always my dream car, the street version; no side pipes, smooth hood, street bumpers front and back.

Is it just me, or does the e30 look wrecked in the front end?

At a minimum the hood is f'd. You can see the crumple in a few angles of the ferrari shots.
