AUTOWEEK's 10 Most Memorable German Classics of 2013!

We made it! Our Fintail Rally car seems to have made quite an impression in 2013. That's pretty good considering we haven't quite finished it. When are you ever finished with an old car anyway...next week, in the April issue, a full article in Hemmings Sports & Exotic Magazine.

Nice! Congratulations on having your car featured and making a Fintail a "memorable classic German car"! Hope to see you and your car at a show sometime.

Your car is in awesome company! Congrats!

It also reinforces my "affordable/usable classic" philosophy. I'd love any of them, but can realistically only own and drive the less stratospherically valued ones.

There must be an error....where is the 6.3? Take out the 6.9 and replace it With the 6.3 ;-)

Congratulations to Mint2Me and your fine finnie! I met you and saw the car at the Mercedes car show at MBUSA headquarters this past June - it was looking great! Looking forward to seeing the article in Hemmings soon. Thanks for your part in helping make Fintails more desirable. Hopefully one day, sooner rather than later, the marginal ones will be worthwhile to restore.

I hope so too! We have plans for the Spring and Summer. Maybe Monterey week this coming August! Legends of the Autobahn and possibly one other neat event. Already have a place to stay in Carmel and prices for shipping the Finnie one way. We hope to drive it back to Connecticut!
