VW-Powered 1961 BMW 700 Sport Coupe Race Car

This 1961 BMW 700 Sport Coupe, originally manufactured in Germany but now located in Paris, Tennessee, stands out as a unique race car conversion. Originally built for the road, its makeover includes a Volkswagen flat-four engine, dual Weber carburetors, and a four-speed manual transaxle, giving it an unexpected powertrain twist. The exterior has been repainted blue with a white roof, while the interior has been stripped down to accommodate a roll bar, a Kirkey racing seat, and essentials like a Racebox lap timer. Despite its transformation into a race car, this car retains its distinctive characteristics, being one of few BMW 700 Sport Coupes from 1961 still on the road today.
