1959 BMW 507 series II sold at Mecum
Sold for $1,760,000. Such a beautiful car. I’d just love to drive one for a few miles to see how it feels.

Would look better with the Rudge wheels, but that's picking nits.

I have a friend that had an original RX7. Even with lots of new bushings and things, though fun to drive, it was sort of a sloppy mess. |

I get the rolling art thing, but I think there is still tons of enjoyment driving older cars and appreciating them for what they were when they were new and the best on the road. It’s not fun to make them go head to head with modern iron. |

EDIT: ok, who am I kidding? If I did get the Ferrari, I'd probably be able to turn it off, that thing is gorgeous haha.

I sure that if I were to drive this car the steering wheel would be very shaky because if I were driving a car worth 1.77MM on the road I would be shaking. You need a big set to drive on the roads with the idiot drivers I see.

Instead, old cars are about...whatever the buyer feels they're about. And therein lies the rub, the joy, and the expense. It's a triple win for sellers, and for buyers...sometimes...mostly? Who knows!

There's no feedback like a well-sorted 2002tii driven at its limits, lifting wheels, and making the driver a better driver. And that goes for an E30 M3, too. I have fond memories of discovering that car—the very first we ever got—while driving it home the day it arrived. I'm happy to have had that experience and to remember it so clearly today. And yet every day I drive new BMWs as part of my job but it's the drive home in my 128i M-sport stick that puts a smile on my face. Different strokes. |
