1st time I've seen one of these on the road. . .

Took these crappy phone pics on the way to the airport today (couldn't get a profile pic because it was too low); this is the first one I've seen in real life. . .

NIce There's a pristine one that comes to Cars & Coffee here in Dallas pretty frequently. It's the first one I've ever seen in real life...

I think it's an old M1. Circa 1980 plus or minus.

Super cool! My brother owns the second last one ever made. It's white with 2K on it. He's been trying to sell it for a while, but the market is soft on them. I have been trying to convince him to keep it an turn it into a Procar clone.

The Camry Hybrid doesn't get nearly the same love as the 55. . . it's all taken care of though, nobody can see me - the Camry has DARKER tint than the 55

I was shocked when I saw it (and at how low it was) - it's a SWEET car!!!!!

There is a comp one that shows up at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix last year. www.pvgp.org. It was in amazing shape and sounded awesome on ride in. Wish they made an updated version.

How much does he want for it? Feel free to take conversation to PM if you would prefer.

Wow! That is a rare catch. You don't see those in the wild too often. I've only seen one, and that was in Zurich, many years ago.

I really like the original M1. That is why I cringed when I heard they were going to make an 'M' version of the current 1-series cars. I cannot imagine a legendary super car like the original M1 sharing a name with an econo-box like the current 1-series.

The bad thing is the econobox will beat the old M1 in every performance category.
