    1967 bmw 2000cs

    And my car sold for $5,000 in 1967. Counting down to a response from BMWCCA, tick, tick, tick...

    And the dealers couldn't give them away then, either. Hoffman packaged one with every load of sedans and most dealers simply set the coupes aside on the back lot and sold the sedans.

    Debatable whether or not they were any prettier with the Euro headlamps. This person seems to be fond enough of the aesthetic:

    Like an Everest II, combining fine cabinetry with a functional appliance!

    The information I have directly from JBL is that the Everest will be assembled in Mexico just across the border in a plant Harman has owned and operated for about a decade. They have been producing Pro JBL products down there for a number of years and are very insistent that the quality will still be there. Only a very few pair of US made Everest's are still in stock at JBL. Once those are sold the warehouse will be replenished with the Mexico made product. We (Audio Video Logic in Des Moines) have both rosewood and cherry Everest's in stock right now, both US made pairs. There is very special pricing on the cherry models as this finish has been discontinued for US consumption. Call if you are interested please. 515-727-2279. John

    well, I'll be just across the MX border tomorrow at my company's factory there. Do you know if it's Tijuana, Mexicali, or somewhere in TX?

    Ouch! To each his own. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have four sets of those lamps. 700cc's? are you legal on freeways?

    I'm legal on the highway (what's a "freeway"? ) even in my 300cc BMW.
