Looks like a GLOCK or a Sig Sauer. Haven't seen either in a long while though.

I think it's a Glock. A Walther P-38 would be more appropriate, don't you think?

Ghetto superstar. That is what you are.

Probably a Glock 26, one of the "baby" Glocks. I'd rather have some sort of remote-gun mounted in the fenders or grill.

The Deuce-double-ought-deuce ought to carry a deuce-deuce for alliterative reasons. Not a 9mm or 40 cal.

They dropped the mag. Unless ther's one in the chamber, it's not loaded.
See, no problem.

Most importantly, you can stand on the "custom hand made" fiberglass body panels which are glued on.

I suspect this is so your passenger can stand on the outside of the car while "bustin caps" at "da man."

Yeah, it's a baby Glock. Can't tell what caliber/model from that angle, though.

And I must admit to having that same idea many a time.

A Glock would be more appropriate sense they are Austrian.

The Questions from bidders are a bit prying, and the answers are a bit wild as well!
Q: so why do you have a gun in the car? seams kind of weird! also raises questions about you. what kind of person feels the need to have a gun in the car?
A: I posted this as a reminder to all the reason I don't give out my cell number. To answer the question I am originally from NJ, the home of car-jacking. Furthermore, Just because it CAN hold a gun doesn't mean you have to use it for that purpose. It is a latching compartment. Nothing more. The KIND of person that "feels the need to have a gun in the car" Is a law abiding citizen exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.
Q: What is the total mileage on the car/engine? What engine/transmission is in the car? Do you have records for maintenance/repair done on the car from new? Thanks.
A: When I bought the car it had 88,000 miles. It was titled in California and then sold to a man in FL that never registered it. That is who I bought it from about 1 year ago. As far as I know I am the 4th owner. The car has the original motor and trans. Engine was rebuilt and has approx 200 miles. The 4 speed manual trans was serviced and is tight with no issues. New Bavarian Motorsports clutch. Most of the new parts I have put on the car came from Bavarian Motorsports. I do have alot of records for the vehicle from the previous owner.
Q: Have a phone number for questions? Is it a tii engine? looks like a weber carb? whats the base horsepower? is the gun box lockable? etc.
A: It is a stock 2002 motor. I would have no problem driving this car across the country. It is a weber, I had dual side draft webers but they weren't very fuel efficient! Base horsepower for this motor is 100 but that is with stock carb and exhaust. The gun box has a latch but its not lockable. That would defeat the purpose of a gun in your car. This is legal in Florida but check your local laws. Sorry, but I don't give my number out due to way to many phone calls. I will give the winning bidder my number at the conclusion of the auction. Everything in the pics and description are accurate. The is a 100% custom vehicle so there is no warrenty expressed nor implied.

Oh and I forgot, the Spelling is horrible as well!

Yea, it's a Glock. Tactical Tupperware.

I heard Gunlopnik put The Truth About Pistols out of business

Still not as cool as a Beretta sporting a Beretta.
Or an AMC Eagle with a Desert Eagle.

I have never ever seen a single gun in all my life......they all look the same....like people from far far away.....and bank people

I'm with papercutninja, definitely a subcompact Glock, probably a 26 or 29, most likely the former.

I just watched Hostel yesterday... if I every get to that part of the world, I will need a car like this.

@Unevolved: Judging by the size of the opening for the clip, .380 or maybe 9mm.

When I was admiring the plasticky goodness of my cousin's Glock 9, I wondered aloud if they make one in pink, you know, for a lady's handbag. Or maybe bright green for gun nuts who are also environmentalists.

He said he'd look into it.

It's a Glock, but the lack of clip concerns me that this 2002 is all show and no go (shoot?)

It's certainly not a Sig. It looks to me like a Glock 26; the tell-tale is the little indentation at the back edge of the trigger guard where it meets the grip.

@JanTheEcobooster...if Odin will: rectify that situ stat!

@lascauxcaveman: forget the ladies, i want a pink one just for cognitive dissonance.

overall, i think it's a pointless exercise. wouldn't you rather just drive with your pistol on your lap? i know i don't want to fuss with the door to the bat cave when something needs to be shot in a hurry

He's dreaming if he thinks he can get $20k for that, gun compartment or no.

It is cool to see he got the Vintage Air unit to work with a minimum of butchery, though. I had thought about it with mine before I sold it.

My great grandfather was a judge in Philadelphia in the 30s and 40s. For personal protection, he had a custom holster fabricated for the right side of the driver's seat. His custom, hair-triggered .32 auto with shaved trigger guard is still part of the family collection.

Packs a decent punch at close range, and it's really small.

@ash78: What about a Cougar with a Ruger? Or an AMC Marlin with a Marlin?

This is probably going to go on all day.

As far as stealthy gun compartments go, that's not very stealthy. Might as well keep it in the glovebox. A much better defense against car-jacking is a remote engine cutoff. Give up the car, then it goes dead a few blocks away. Way more sane that pulling out and busting caps, which will get your precious bimmer all shot up anyhow.

@NICKNICK: I saw a hunting rifle once...I meant cars from far far away....and I also meant all clerks.

@Armand4:
Taurus with a Taurus

@lascauxcaveman:

Regardless of whether its offered from the factory, I'm sure a custom color could be arranged from a gun shop or do it yourselfer. It would only involve painting the plastic parts, which don't really get exposed to heat, so a good spray enamel should do it.

Not that I'm about to go and spray paint one of mine with pink Rustoleum, but there might be someone out there that really, really wants a green Glock.

As a kid in FL, I remember seeing LOTS of hunting rifles in truck windows. AFAIK, that's legal in a lot of places, provided the gun is not loaded.

Handguns are a lot more heavily regulated than rifles. I guess for every DC sniper, you've got a few hundred thousand hot-heads waiting to shoot someone with a handgun.

Just stuff it next to the seat, between the seat and the floor. Good enough for cabbies and you're faster on the draw.

Wrong BMW - I got excited seeing the headline... I was expecting the awesome E38 735i from The Transporter... [www.imcdb.org]

BTW - the gun looks like a Sig or Glock

@dolo54: Good thing they put a camo pattern on that thing. You wouldn't want to stand out.

What kind of person DOESNT carry a gun in the car??

If you wanted to go nonspecific, you could just get a Kahr and use it in All your rides; taurus, eagle, marlin, etc.
(if you got the K-9 though, I guess Fido would have to ride shotgun)

:D

@NICKNICK:

I often times sit on my pistol. It's easiest to get to.

What would Ronnie from Run Lola Run drive? This. He would drive this.

@legerdemain: I think you mean Manni...unless you meant Ronnie from Run Ronnie Run.

/y'all are brutalizin' me!

@FThorn: I just stick mine in the door pocket of my E30 and cover it with an old greasy rag.

Time to settle the gun debate once and for all.

Unless more information is provided, it's a G26. That's a .40 sub-compact. Like someone said before me, the magazine opening is more proportional to a small-frame, and you can see a magazine behind it loaded with a 9mm-.40 range hollowpoint. .40 is the most common in hollowpoint, although 9mm and .380 HPs are out there.

@rev.bubba: "Sense" when is BMW Austrian? Walther is German, just like BMW.

Does anyone else find it HILARIOUS that he calls NJ the capital of carjacking? He can't be serious.

Hah! Guy doesn't know his car very well. The 2002 came standard with all kinds of hidden compartments. No need to make a new one.

I have to disagree. Looks like an HK USP subcompact to me.

@nichomiz: I have one of those, which is why I'm not quite sure. The bump under the trigger guard looks wrong.

I'm not that familiar with my glock models though, so the american tupperware lovers might be right.

@Unevolved:

Actually the Glock 26 is a 9mm, the Glock 27 is the .40 S&W. It is a sub-compact however, for a few resaons:

1. You cannot tell the caliber of the gun, It could either be a 9mm (mod G26) .40SW (mod G27) OR a .357sig (mod 33). They all have the exact same frame.

2.It has only one finger groove on the grip which tells me it is a sub-compact, plus the barrel is about 3". You can also tell by the finger groove, and the slide rail (for any tactical light/laser) it is a newer model made between 1998-present day.

There is no .380 Glock in the U.S. THere is one made, but it is not available for civilian sale within the United States.

For the record, I drive a 2000 Mustang GT, and I have a Beretta 8045 Mini-Cougar in my door, loaded with Corbon .45ACP 280gr. Hallow points. That way they will punch through the door frame if some guy tries to wash my windows at a stop light. In my trunk I have a rifle mount for either my Bushmaster AR-15, or my Remmington 870 12ga tactical shotgun. But to save weight, I rarely ever use it. Just incase of any urban Terrorists. BTW I live in Florida, where we have pretty good gun laws.
