I can't believe no ones stolen those :p
Point 1. How ugly are those US bumpers...
Point 2. Rip off...
I was just thinking about those bumpers. They're huge! Totally ridiculous looking.
I bet there are more places like this just waiting to be discovered. It'd be sweet going on a road trip to find old abandoned cars like this.
Does anyone know about this big abandoned muscle car find they had in Wisconsin that they were talking about in one of the threads?
These cars aren't abandoned, though. The owner just, for some reason, keeps them in the showroom.
Nothing special. That guy in France having almost a hundred unrestored brand new Citroens of all ages, is. Forgot the name, perhaps any of the citrophiles here knows it ?
That's an awesome find. Wouldn't mind owning one of those.
Always liked those sharky old sixes.
Those bumpers never looked right on BMWs, but I prefer the US bumpers on Mercs of the same vintage.
For one thing, they added much-needed visual mass to the front and rear of the old 107-chassis SLs. With the dainty European bumpers the front of those roadsters looked a little too upright and stubby.
Also, you could knock the holy hell out of something with those things. I used to use my 380SL to accellerate shopping carts to 45 or so and send them crashing into parking lot curbs. They'd fly about 30 feet in the air and sail for about 50 yards when they hit.
Those were the days...
Is $80,000 (£45.50) too much? Well, what price can you put on a time capsule car? I know this: I'd rather have the old six than the new one.
Nomination for best use of a Mercedes right there Quail.
thats kinda how my dad and I found our Camaro
the previous owner inherited a farm with a barn and when they opened it up it had like 30 something cars in there, including our unrestored z/28
cool find:cool:
So it's not actually a really creepy ghost town car dealership that's been left for decades with cars in? It's just a showroom that some guy keeps his pristine BMWs in? Well that's a bit less enchanting, isn't it?

You mean the one in Oklahoma?
The one that was sealed the wrong way and rusted for 50 years instead of being in perfect condition?

I couldn't be bothered to find the original thread.
