^^^ THAT paint scheme minus the numbers (and gold wheels, because the wheels would be some gawdawful blinged-out monstrosity instead of simple racing dog-dishes) would look FANTASTIC on the Gallardo.

Y'know... if it were not barfpowder-sparkly gold and were just gold, like say John Player Special gold, this would look pretty fantastic. I'd rock it, anyway.

Had one. Loved it. Ain't gonna be no million dollar car. There is nothing about it that will ever induce anyone to drop that much on one.

I will be shocked if these don't reach $1,000,000, and relatively soon.

Probably not. To reach the seven-figure mark, it needs to be a car that everyone wants but only a few can have. The M coupe is one that has a fanatical, but very limited, audience. (I'm one.) The demand will never be at a level to drive prices that high. Six figures? Yeah, probably. Seven? Doubt it.

They were available with 6-speed manuals. The clutches for these are actually a hot swap for E39 M5s; the bellhousing is the same, so it's a fairly easy matter to install the big clutch.

Um.... would it be inappropriate for me to file a living will specifying that I must be carried to my final resting place in a Maserati hearse? 'Cause I kinda want to do that now.

You're posting comments / your fans, they can't wait / They post their replies / And tell you you're great.

^^^ I would buy THIS secondhand limo. Only this one.

Interestingly, the grille badge is a perfect representation of what needs to be heated to glowing and rectally inserted into whoever thought this was a good idea. Also whoever ponies up $105 large for it. Also anyone who rents it. Also anyone who worked on the conversion.

Oh, HELL no. Limos are a terrible idea in general. I can only stomach them when they're made from something otherwise worthless to me like a Town Car, Escalade or DTS. "Novelty" limos manage to be useless limos while ruining an otherwise perfectly good car. Their only functional purpose is allowing me to identify…

And how many Chevys, Pontiacs, Dodges and Toyotas have won NASCAR races with 9" diffs? That'd be all of them.

Then there's this bad boy... no idea what it is, but it definitely packs four S197 Mustang tail lights.

All the hard work is done on this one, since the V8 swap is already sorted. IIRC, the 4.6s all had the same block dimensions so it should be basically a bolt-in swap to get, say, the 3-valve motor, or the 390hp supercharged '03-'04 Cobra plant. That would have made this a NP big-time.

Which 4.6? SOHC? DOHC? 3-valve? Inquiring minds want to know... that would definitely have a large impact on my vote. I'm leaning toward NP, because V8 manual wagon. Sketchy legality is an issue, but shouldn't be a huge one in my state.

1962 Lincoln Continental. Go on, drink it in. Admire the lines crisper than the creases in Dean Martin's suit. Hear Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" begin playing in the back of your head. Taste the dry martinis. Smell the cigar smoke. Absorb the fact that this car is nearly fifty years old and still cooler than you,…

A wise man once said, I think on this very website, that having a V12 is like having a monkey butler. It's not usually the most efficient way of doing things, fluids will be spilled liberally, and if it decides it doesn't want to work (and it will,) good luck convincing it otherwise. But it is undeniably awesome,…

I'll be needing this in wallpaper size, thanks.

There are a lot of good reasons why this is a terrible idea. I care about none of them. The crappy paint just means you won't be losing anything of value when you strip it to apply the Martini livery!

It's $2275 for a Volare. No. Just.... no.
