Tatra MTX-V8 - 200 planned, only 4 built.
Yeah, I'll sign it the next time I'm _not_ passed by a dozen wife-beater, flip-flop wearin' squids as they do wheelies past me at over 100mph on I 24. The safety of lane splitting hinges on the cager's situational awareness - good luck to 'em!
We like ours at Lane Motor Museum...Nothing says Group B like 0-60 in 2.5 AWD seconds!
My wife and I looked for a _very_ specific BMW Touring for about 4 years before giving up. Red over tan, manual, 2WD, heated Sport seats, Sport package, Xenons. How hard could it be? A knowledgeable friend told me that a car like that, in any color combo, might have accounted for 0.3% of worldwide production, and that…
Road & Track had a Schnellaster as their office car back in the mid-'50s, and they ran a comparo of the VW and DKW in (IIRC) June of '56. The DKW seemed superior in almost every way, but history has shown that the Microbus was far more popular.

I believe they were suing to find out WTF. Since then, they've bought Nashville Superspeedway (hey, it's almost…

Can't answer that one, we only have this one. I just looked - magnesium TURBO valve cover, gauge, graphics, and, oh yeah, turbo.
Yes it is. Ben was really, really hard on the car, and it came to us with bent and broken frame members, and a body that looked decent but, under the paint, was full of Bondo and cracks and corrosion. It's undergoing a full restoration, and should be spectacular sometime next year.
The dusty ones are in the basement, not part of the public display. We've built a small addition this year, and there is a lot of residual dust. Rest assured, the cars get cleaned up before going out on display!
Pinzgauer is a breed of cattle, not horses. Did you think it was a Steyr Lippazaner?
