So I've been making oem replica decals for an IL guys AMG Mercedes the past few months and got the pleasure of talking cars with him. He sent pics of his car and asked about mine.

His car:

After hearing that I am working on an e21 he got excited and sent me the 6 series he used to own and fully regrets selling it. The information he shared is pretty awesome. Here is the conversation...

Him: Do you have any classic or muscle car too?

Me: I am building a late 70s BMW e21 group 2 actually.

Him: Nice!!! You gonna love my car, what I sold (bigger mistake in my life) 9 years ago. 1989 6 series wide body. Craziest car I ever owned. I wish I never sold that car. 44K original miles. Was like new.

Me: Holy shit!!! That thing is beautiful! That body kit must have been $$$$$$

Him: The thing is, that is not body kit. Koenig and Alpina made only 6 of those cars in 1989 for racing. It is an all steel body. The rear tire size was 355. Just two of these cars still around. One green one in Germany and this one in Illinois. Other 4 have been destroyed by racing. I bought that car for $4300 on federal public auction and sold 3 years later for $53K local. I could have gotten more if I wanted to deal with buyers from Germany.

I never knew something like this was ever created and it is stunning!! Anybody else know more info about this amazing machine?
