The "CHANGE"

[TexasZed4MC]

It took a 6 hour drive to Kansas City Kansas and another 6 hour drive home on Monday the 26th to pick the car up, but it was worth every second. This car actually ran the 2005 BMWCCA Cannonball One Lap of America. I am now the proud third owner.TO say this car has been taken care of to the 10 tenths is an understatement. Every possible upgrade to exhaust, engine, suspension, brakes,
steering has been impeccably done. The car was given a name by the original owner and so I will keep it. Guys meet CHUCKIE!

[Vanne]

LOVE IT!!!

esp those wheels... boy i wish they came in deep dish.

Congrats on your new Chuckie

I absolutely love e36 m3's... have had 2 in the past.

interesting it's a sedan with '95 only (to my knowledge) coupe wheels on it. pretty sure '96-'98 had a dished lug pocket, and were staggered. I ran a set of those wheels on an '05 330i zhp and loved the look.

[dschultz]

Sweet!

[dc_wright]

I love the E36! Had one before the Z4.....

Great find getting an original from the factory 5 speed manual tranny sedan! A high number of the E36 M3 sedans and cabrios came with auto trans......

[seank]

Many may not know that the paint with flags is stock for the Light Weight.

Great find.

TexasZed4MC, you can take some pictures of the Toyota FJ Cruiser as well. That's a great vehicle. How did you ended up having it?

[TexasZed4MC]

The FJ40 is a 1976 model. It was my wife's uncles truck that just sat in the pasture for years with the top and doors off. To say she needed some love was and understatement. SO after about 3 years of badgering him to sell it to me he did. I had to rewire everything, new battery, brake calipers, radiator, carb, header, heater box, seats, dash, headlights, I can go on for a while! The truck is very sound just top speed of 55 kind sucks but that ok most of the time.
She is all number matching and its a great daily driver, until it gets too hot in the Texas summers. Here are a few more pictures.

That's a beauty. I would love to find something like this. I love the old FJ. I love cars with history.
