So my little brother is getting a Pete McHenry...PIX

Post by Zach716 »

My little brother is getting a Pete McHenry 2.8 e30 and I'm jealous. If you don't know who Pete is, google him.This car is sick and he swears its faster than his e36 M3. Needless to say, I'm super excited to have a Pete McHenry car in my driveway, even if its not mine. Ill put pictures up when I go home for spring break next week.

I'd never heard the name either until a few months ago when I came across it on another forum.

When I googled him, this was one of the first hits I found.

Condolences as well. Could this car become very rare and valuable at some point? On par with an Alpina? Just posing the question.

He was a great guy. I met him at a Korman open house years ago. I spoke to him once on the phone about swapping a 3.5 into my E12.

You think so? Track down "Ken H." the owner of Lucifer's Hammer and see what he has to say about the man.

Rich

Edit: I had my names mixed up, as Duke pointed out, it was Henry Lawrence, not Pete McHenry. My apologies to the McHenry family for my error.

I don't believe so. BMW engine builders and tuners are not that rare. Only a few become iconic, and the ones that do are almost always highly involved in professional motorsports.

It's too bad Ken deleted all of his posts about Lucifer's Hammer.

I doubt we'll see photos of the car Zach is talking about. But I may be proven wrong.

Wrong guy Rich.....it was Henry Lawrence of Power Plant that took Ken for $45,000.

Bravo Zach for proving me wrong. :clap:
It's a very nice looking E30, but what's the deal with the missing shifter knob?
