Something about this just seems so right.
That sucks a boatload of ass. Met him at Pebble Beach in '05. Nice guy.
Realistically, once you have your Webers properly jetted and synchronized, they don't require additional fiddling. Webers aren't fiddly, but the owners usually are.
I love it. My first ride as 3 day old baby was in my Dad's '70 Monte - the first of about 5 he owned.
Who wants an Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Three Orange Whips.

66Satellite is on the money. Many of the car-capsule type products have built-in fans and dehumidifiers. They work great for keeping the tin cancer at bay during the winter months.

In September I bought a 2004 330i in Connecticut and brought it back to Canada. At that point the Canadian dollar was at 95 cents US, and I still saved $5000. With $1.10 dollars, my savings would be almost $8000.
My best friend in high-school had a Newport of this vintage (with the 440), and it was awesome. Four-abreast seating, front and rear, and a trunk capable of holding a weekend's worth of beer for all 8 passengers.
