The 356 had already been around for a decade when Porsche introduced the 356B, a move that Jesse Alexander called "a rather drastic face lift that will come as a shock to Porsche owners all over the world." There were a lot of little detail changes, the most visible of which were the raised headlights and bumpers. Performance again was another gradual improvement, as is the Porsche way, but there was still a demand for a Porsche road car with … [Read more...]
The predecessors to the later BMW E9's, the 2000C and 2000CS are really more striking inside and out than the more restrained but still elegant Bimmers that came after it. They are also pretty rare, particularly in the States and especially compared to the 2002 and most variations of the E9, which actually took its tail and roofline from the 2000C/CS. With a twin-carb version of BMW's 1990 cc M10 engine, the CS made about 120 horsepower and … [Read more...]
Many tend to forget about the 912, but during the mid-1960s this four-cylinder version of the legendary 911 outsold its bigger brother by a margin of two to one and sometimes even higher. More or less the Boxster of its day, the 912 was labeled by the German magazine auto motor und sport "the bread and butter Porsche" and was priced at around $1,000 less than the 911 that we all know and love. Of course, the attractive price came with some … [Read more...]
In the world of collector cars, if the top goes down, the price goes up, right? In the case of the famous 300SL Mercedes, the answer is not exactly. The 300SL Roadster is a strange case in that the closed version is more unique, more eye-catching, and therefore more desirable and valuable. The very photogenic doors on the coupe version, the 300SL Gullwing, have always stolen the show, but the Roadster is no ugly duckling. It's still a drop dead … [Read more...]
It's hard to say what one might do with a classic Mercedes Unimog, especially here in the States. But given the wide array of uses that these medium trucks have found across the world, it is something that you could get pretty creative with. This yellow '63 Unimog, located in Vallejo, California, would definitely be impossible to ignore and and could probably handle whatever you throw at it. People are still privately importing newer Unimogs to … [Read more...]
The BMW 2002 had enjoyed decades of popularity for many reasons. It helped solidify a positive, performance-minded reputation for BMW after several years of financial problems and it has an enviable motorsports pedigree. Possibly even more important is the car's accessibility to such a huge number of enthusiasts. BMW made tons of them, so they are cheap, and the 1,990 cc engine is both durable and tunable. The 2002 is a great car then, but there … [Read more...]
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, cars like the 2002 and the 3.0 established BMW as the maker of practical and well-built performance cars that we know and love today. The E9 in particular made a resurgent BMW famous on the track, and the road going versions would be lusted after for most of the 70s. The 3.0 CS was introduced in 1971 to replace the 2800 CS, and featured an enlarged, 180 horsepower version of the infamous M30 straight-six. That … [Read more...]
Not long after Porsche introduced the 911, they realized that an open version of the car would be a necessary addition to the lineup. There was some disagreement within the company as to what form the open 911 would take on, but the 911 Targa that was introduced in 1967 eventually proved to be a hit. The distinguishing feature of the original Targa was its exposed, brushed stainless-steel roll-bar, designed to maintain the lateral rigidity that … [Read more...]
For some vintage racers, a simple three-quarter-ton pickup just won't do. Whether it's a neat vintage piece or a famous and historic team transporter, a lot of people want to arrive at the track in something almost as interesting as the cars they will be racing. If you're looking for an interesting tow vehicle but aren't in a rush to have one that works right this second, you might want to give this old Mercedes, located in Ono, Pennsylvania a … [Read more...]
The year 1988 marked the 25th anniversary of the 911's debut at Frankfurt in 1963. That year Porsche revamped an even older name, the Speedster, and put it into limited production. Now, after another 25 years, there is a chance to buy one of those rakish open-top 911s that, with less than 8,000 miles on it, is practically new. … [Read more...]
