"as I ride with my a/c on... I have fond memories of sweaty oily saturdays and spewing R12 into the air. THANKS for all you do!

My drivers:
1987 190D 2.5Turbo
1987 560SL convertible
1987 190D 2.5-5SPEED!!!

1987 300TD
2005 Dodge Sprinter 2500 158"WB
1994GMC 2500 6.5Turbo truck... I had to put the ladder somewhere!

It doesn't matter, whoever buys it will tear it down for restoration anyway.

Ok, I received quite a bit of hate mail for the freon...Yes I could have charged it...I also could have changed the belts, hoses, and all of the fluids...But the idea is that I am selling it to someone for a complete restoration..and maybe my $50k figure is light.... Who knows. But I do know that if a pair of Mcqueen's sunglasses fetched $70k last year, the car has to be worth something!

If I start fixing it, I don't know where it would end...

Unbelievably , the air suspension works great...Go figure.

Im proud to say I was the first bidder on that car. It went above my bid in 15 minutes.

If I was Bill Gates, do you have any idea how many of your cars I would own Herb?

I would have said and done the same thing. You dont know what kind of can-o-worms you might have opened by charging up the A/C. I feel your auction is honest and straightforward.
