OK gang, need some input. I have had a lot of lookers, but they are casual, and most have not completely understood what is involved in looking after a 40 year old car. My wife says I talk too much , but I feel the buyer needs to know, plus I really want her to go to a good home
That said , most have asked for some "leeway " on the price and I have worked with all of them. Price does not seem to scare them, at least they dont appear that way. They call and tell me that perhaps its "not the car for them".
What I need input on is where I can get her in front of more vintage minded would be owners. ( or clueless owners

) I fear ebay, as I think the process could be a headache. I have been told that "across the pond" many look for this type car and that may be my only incentive to put her there. I have not researched the fees. I have been following the recent auctions like Mecum and Barrett Jackson and good solid models of this vintage are selling right about what I'd like to get $12,500. If I was closer I'd consider consigning.
Any other suggestions? I have tried all the MB websites, and Craiglist.
I hate to see her just sitting. I drive her once a week for at least 60-70 miles but she needs a home that can afford to "just look at her" or really drive her like she was meant to
Thanks
