thanks all, and I am also looking for the proverbial "barn find" Lord knows I am surrounded by barns. Speaking of which , just the other day someone told me of an older MB diesel under boxes in a barn. Supposedly been there awhile, trying to substanciate the report...who knows

She was on the market a long time, kinda off , kinda on. The offers state side were pitiful as most think they are worth much less than they are. I know they are plentiful, but offers of 3K for that car were insulting. I had one serious buyer but backed out at last minute.
Outside of the states where these cars are less plentiful is the sellers market.
corvetts to Austrailia, and big blocks to Europe, SA likes european cars so I hear
In any respect it was quite a journey and learned about car inspections ( the inspector guy took 200 pictures and drove her hard) money transfers , skype, overseas calls , titles and bill of sales and customs rules. Evidently 4 weeks from now she will be in the hands of the new owner.
Thanks again everyone, and to you Vets out there, thanks for all you have done and do and I salute those that have given the ultimate sacrifice .

now ...where did I put my Hemmings sales catalog...
