Anyone else following the Barrett jackson collector car auction now? 1954 mecedes gullwing just went for $2 000 000. Where do people get that kind of money for a car that you should not drive and put in a climate controllled atmosphere? Not from being a Ford technician let me tell you.

well, went and looked at my soon to be venture royale today! here's a couple pics.(click to zoom) http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030454_800x600.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030456_800x600.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030457_800x600.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030458_800x600.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030455_800x600.jpg even the puppy likes it! I'm not sure of the year, stupid me didn't look at the title. it's been garaged in a heated climate controlled garage approx 2000-2001 sometime. A friend of mine bought it, rode it for three months, parked it for the winter, and it's sat there ever since. Wonderful luck it was a climate controlled garage, though! he fogged the tank and carbs after draining them.. we put some gas in it and a brand new battery and volia, started and revved just fine. now, i know that the brakes need rebuilding, and the right hand cover has some broken tabs to fix, the hydrolic clutch master and slave i am sure should be drained and cleaned and/or rebuilt, as well as the tires replaced. I didn't test ride it, so i'm not sure how it'll do on the road, might have to clean up the carbs, might get lucky with some seafoam since he fogged them, who knows. seems to be an 86 if i am understanding the colour chart here on the website right? anyone confirm? looks just like the pic of the first series, but clearly says 1300 on the cases. It did blink a warning light a few times on accessories, but i've been reading about those issues and am pretty confident i can fix them. radio, air suspension, and all the dash, all the lights and accessores i tested worked great, except a rear turnsignal. i'm pretty stoked, its gonna come home to me as soon as i get my tax credit for the house ( should be any day now, but it is moving at the speed of goverment. best part, i got it out the door for 1200, and that includes 2 1/2 hours one way drive delivery!

Winter looks like it may be getting longer. A little long but worth a look. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOLkze-9GcI]YouTube - Climate Change - Is CO2 the cause? - Pt 1 of 4[/ame] Kelly
