They have a running HT4100?  That's amazing.

I have always loved the Allante, even though I was around 10 when they first came out.

I remember doing a construction project back when this car was new, and the homeowner had an Allante in the garage, along with more golf clubs than I had ever seen in my life. 

It was a fairly nice house, that was probably hot E36 M3 in the late 50s or early to mid 60s. The lower level of the house had bright red carpeting and a nearly life sized painting of Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead standing side by side.

We installed an elevator and renovated the master bathroom. I remember installing an actual gold plated shower head. The basement under the bathroom had stalactites hanging from the joists, because when the old shower started leaking ten years earlier, they just closed the door and stopped going in there. We didn't do anything to improve that part of the house.

Wikipedia says that the 1987 Allante had a base price of $54,700 ($140,900 in 2022 dollars).

Everything about this whole part of my life seemed super skeevy.
