TME Christmas Eve quote of the day
December 24th, 2009
Browsing the Shelby American World Registry reveals the following quote about 427cid Shelby Cobra s/n CSX3260: “For the first six months of its life, 3260 was driven to work on a daily basis by [the owner’s] wife, Glenna. [His] comment, “This was somewhat exciting for her,” seems somewhat understated, especially since a 427 Hi-rise engine by Holman-Moody was installed shortly after the car’s acquisition. This powerplant, which was dynoed at 505hp using a single 850 cfm Holley, allowed 3260 to post an 11.94 e.t. @ 122mph…using stock exhaust/induction systems with Dunlop race tires…”

Beautifully preserved and very original Alfa Romeo 164 S
July 25th, 2009
This Alfa Romeo 164 S is available on eBay and is a very clean largely stock example. At TME, we have always like these cars, and this one is unusually well-preserved. As is the case with practical cars that were once expensive but are now affordable (like old M5’s, M3’s, 500E’s etc.), most examples have an unfortunate combination of intergalactic mileage, deterioration with age, and deferred maintenance. This one has low mileage, no tasteless modifications, and has obviously been loved, which makes it quite a unique find.
