Word has it the buyer is going to rat-rod it with candy flake paint and put some dub deuces with rubberband tires on it just to get a reaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget the piece de resistance, a single DIN radio head unit with a flip-up touch screen, with color-changing lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A set of them there Goodyear illuminated tires would be icing on the cake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my abode was within the jurisdiction of an HOA, I'd have been burned at the stake or lynched by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Nope, you'd just have to drown it out with a couple of speakers that sound like someone beating a rubber raft with an oar. Cops pull up, just tell them you're trying to loosen some trim fasteners in your car interior... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Back to the car: Do you think Jay Leno was "worthy" of being invited to the auction? It will be interesting to know who the buyer is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Unlikely he was even close. Couple regulars at Pebble and Goodwood. Millionaires can’t compete with billionaires. @Mark That is the real muffler Uhlenhaut used. I couldn’t find pic today but I have one with muffler, skis on rack in back, in snow. I think they sold the blue interior car. Red iirc was Rudy’s own car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 1017 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I think the plan would be to donate it to a Not for Proffit Muesum. With the owners' caveat of first right of refusal. A $174,000,000 is a nice tax wright off. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Mercedes has designated the money to go into a special scholarship fund. They don't need to part with a jewel in their crown for greed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
