The car is in transit to me allready, picked up on 2/28/2008

Congratulations! I thought I had a thread reply notification that said "I'll let you know when it gets here," but by the time I looked at the thread it was gone or edited away. I didn't want to "out" you if you didn't want to be outed.

That will be a neat car; the nice thing about it is that fixing the little bit of rust and that ding, etc... are a no-brainer, given it's rarity. Sometimes you buy an old Mercedes and immediately regret putting money into it when you see a nicer one for cheaper (or the same price). No real risk of that here; you have a RARE car. Pics, please, once you get it!

EDIT: Where do you live? I suspect there may be a few of us lining up to come have a look if you're nearby. You could charge admission.
