Retro Cars Appreciation (70'S & 80'S)

[Gottalovethexi]

My 1972 Bavaria

Has a Metric Mechanics 3.7L & 5spd swap. Air and wheels coming this winter.

[Beware]

One of my retro rides....could do with another 1/2-1 inch out of the front height though.

German, over enginered, poorly enginered everything, expensive to fix, lack of parts(used or new), replacements parts are extinct... Yea i love my 82 benz haha

Actually, parts are incredibly easy to find. The W126 is the most popular S-class to date, with a 12 year production run and over 818,000 ever produced. Junkyards are full of them. Replacement parts should be pretty easy to source as well. Just have to know who to ask and where to look.


Sad that I can't post my car in this thread. Even though its the same chassis, it's a 1990.

Love me some '70s and '80s whips. Probably all I'll ever own.

Shit-poor pic of my '79 Volvo 242DL when it actually did something:


Quick snap of the Conquest TSi daily:


And the broken torque-steer queer, the '87 Shelby Lancer #707/800:


All three are already on their way toward proper fitment.

[mrg7243]

My grand national. Not sure what type of fitment will be on it or anything.
