My favorite comedian growing up! Percy Dovetonsils and other brilliant skits, some with Edie Adams his beautiful wife. Died young, like so many others (Gilda, Andy Kaufman, Belushi, John Candy, Phil Hartman, the list goes on...) On Tue, Jul 16, 2019 at 8:10 PM Mountain Man via Mercedes < mercede

Re: [MBZ] This is Sort of Tempting

LOL. Reminds me of the Laurel and Hardy film where they bid on a grandfather clock as a favor to another bidder. The two ended up competing against each other, running the price to $300. Naturally, the guy never returned so they were stuck with the clock. Anyone remember the title of that film?

I’m not going to provide an accounting at this point as I don’t know what it would be. I have a round number in mind, which would be within about 15%-20% below what I believe to be market price on this car. To be honest, if I broke even I would be happy, as the things I’ve learned working on thi

I planned on restoring this as best as possible and if the market permitted, leverage it to find one in better condition. The market permits. I’ll see if I can get BaT money for it then go looking for another, better example. -D > On Jul 15, 2019, at 12:35 PM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes >
