Wednesday Wheels Roundup

Wednesday Wheels Roundup

Published June 10, 2015 by Carter

It’s a day ending in “Y”, so you better believe that my mind has been on wheels. I stumbled across a few neat sets this week and though I’d post them up for any wheel whores such as me. We’ve got a neat set of Schnitzer classic 5 spokes for E30s, along with a rare set of 924 Turbo Manhole covers. They’re forged and the proper setup for the narrow body 924, and fairly rare to see. Also rare to see are a set of the Penta AMG replica wheels. Not as valuable as the ATS made wheels, they’re nonetheless pretty neat. There’s a mega set of BBS RAs that would just be stunning on an early 80s Mercedes SEC and a neat and very rare to see set of BBS-like Melber wheels. What’s your favorite?

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe

Published June 10, 2015 by Rob

The release of the Carrera 4 was somewhat of a watershed moment for Porsche as it moved its iconic 911 in a new direction, allowing it to garner wider appeal yet without engendering any serious compromises to its performance. While any all-wheel drive system is going to be heavier the Carrera 4 was not simply a dumbed-down version of the 911 intended for boulevard cruisers. With lessons learned from the 959 supercar Porsche’s all-wheel drive system was to provide some mastery over the 911’s difficult dynamics. It would be easier to drive fast for many drivers and for some may be even faster than its rear-drive counterpart, depending on conditions. Even though there is some rally pedigree in the distant past of the early 911s Porsche probably wasn’t intending for the Carrera 4 to suddenly take on the Audi Quattro, but that is not something that should diminish how we approach the Carrera 4 itself. It was to be an all-conditions barn burner providing on the road benefits to its drivers equally at low speeds and high. First released in 1989 for the 964, the all-wheel drive system saw a number of refinements for the 993 intended to reduce the weight penalty of the all-wheel drive system while also improving its dynamic improvements over the 911’s standard rear-wheel drive. While not nearly as highly sought after as the Turbo-bodied Carrera 4S a 993 Carrera 4 remains an attractive option for buyers desiring one of the last of the air-cooled models and want to experience a healthy dose of Porsche’s technological acumen at the same time. Here we have one such example: an Aventurine Green Metallic 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe, located in Brooklyn, with a Red leather interior and 52,801 miles on it.

Well Spent Teens: 1995 BMW M3 and 1996 BMW M3 Euro Convertible

Well Spent Teens: 1995 BMW M3 and 1996 BMW M3 Euro Convertible

Published June 10, 2015 by Carter

Last week we featured a string of E36 M3s, culminating in a very low mileage but high priced, lightly modified Dakar Yellow priced at $26,000. To me, it was a strong as considering there are many other very good E36 deals in the teens that would be equally striking and potential investments down the road. So, today I’m taking a look at two other E36 models, both priced about $10,000 less than the low mileage example, that I’d jump into first:

1969 BMW 2000C

1969 BMW 2000C

Published June 10, 2015 by Paul

One of my most favorite BMWs of all time was the E9 Coupe. This was such a delicate looking coupe, with its pillarless profile and shark nose front-end that would become a hallmark of BMW styling over the years to follow. The E9 evolved from the car you see here, the “New Class” 2000C and 2000CS. The difference between the two models was that the 2000C had a single carbureted engine, whereas the CS had twin carbs. Unlike Mercedes-Benzes of the same vintage, you just don’t see a lot of these larger BMWs from the 1960s knocking about. This 2000C Automatic is on offer in Hershey, Pennsylvania, one of just 238 produced for the 1969 model year.

1989 Porsche 930 Cabriolet

1989 Porsche 930 Cabriolet

Published June 9, 2015 by Rob

Yesterday we looked at a beautiful early Turbo Carrera and today we will venture to the other end of the 930 timeline for one of the last Turbos produced. Here we have a Velvet Red Metallic 1989 Porsche 930 Cabriolet, located in Miami, with Red interior and just 36,783 miles on it. As this ad indicates, and which any seller of an ’89 930 surely will let you know, this was the only model year the 930 came equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. That makes them extremely attractive to collectors as performance has consistently been a key factor in differentiating the value between various 911 models, with a one-year-only version of a performance model naturally garnering serious demand. For the 911 enthusiast these cars possess a somewhat different appeal as the final year of such an iconic model. They aren’t necessarily the best performing 930s on the market as increasing weight would hold them back relative to their earlier peers, but they do represent the most refined version of the breed, an attribute enhanced by that extra gear. All in all, there are a variety of reasons to find joy in the final year of the 930 and for the driver hoping to have a Turbo Cabriolet this also would be the last model produced in large numbers among the air-cooled 911s.
