Very Rare 1967/8 BMW 1600 GT at Custom Sounds on S. Lamar

Written by Ken Altes

Weird history: this pretty little car was originally sold by Glas of Germany but it seems that BMW dropped its engine in it and added independent rear suspension (and kidney grill) and sold it as a BMW. Owned by Terry Sather who maintains my BMW.
