Great auction!!January 7th, 2022 at 6:48pm ESTSergey (18) 0@Boatymcboatface yeah, it may be indeed a pivotal point for future C140 sales! :)January 7th, 2022 at 6:03pm ESTBoatymcboatface (64) 1Great auction @600SEC_AMG. A market moment for a early C140 V12. Also, a great day for MB Market. January 7th, 2022 at 5:09pm ESTSergey (18) 0@dino24 I lost hope once I saw the car! 🤣 It's not that average 140 Benz that needs some love and $$ to fix here and there. I wish my W140 was in such condition but I seriously doubt I'll ever restore it to such level. January 7th, 2022 at 4:57pm ESTdino24 (3) 1Well bought and well sold for a great car! Was hoping it'd stay lower so I could play hahaJanuary 7th, 2022 at 4:56pm ESTAmrk83 (3) 2Congratulations beautiful carJanuary 7th, 2022 at 4:56pm ESTSergey (18) 1Congrats @Elkman1 and @600SEC_AMG!!!January 7th, 2022 at 4:56pm EST600SEC_AMG (16) Seller 2Well done @Elkman1!

I hope today someone will take this big baby to their garage! :DJanuary 7th, 2022 at 3:28pm EST600SEC_AMG (16) Seller 0Less than 90 minutes to go! Another question was received regarding the steps required in the State of Delaware to privately sell a vehicle with DE title/plates. From the DMV document ( https://www.dmv.de.gov/VehicleServices/titles/pdfs/TipsforPrivatelySellingaDelawareTitledVehicle.pdf ) Out-of-State Buyer Step 1: - When a Delaware titled vehicle is sold to an out-of-state buyer, the seller must complete the Assignment of Certificate of Title section 1 on the back of the title. - Be sure to include the buyer's name and address, date of sale, purchase price, and odometer disclosure. Step 2: - The seller must also complete the back of the registration card or seller's report of sale (all new titles have a detachable report of sale located at the bottom of the title) and forward to the Division of Motor Vehicles. - Include the buyer's name and address, date and hour of the sale and the seller's signature. Step 3: - The license plate must be removed from the vehicle and returned to any DMV office. This probably is SOP for most States in the Union, but I have not done it before and needed to double-check. Now, let's see some more bids :-)) Good luck! January 7th, 2022 at 10:29am EST600SEC_AMG (16) Seller 0There were two questions that were asked in one-on-one conversations, which I will answer here. 1. A very careful reader of the comments here and on BaT asked me about the Star SDS system. Is it still available? Will it follow the car? I think I've communicated this already - the Star SDS is the only tool for a meaningful work on W140s. It is a must-have, IMO. I originally envisioned selling everything I have as a package deal, but have come to the realization that it will probably be impractical/too expensive. Therefore, as discussed yesterday, the winner of the auction takes the car. All other "extras" will be sold separately, if wanted, including the SDS. 2. Transport. I think I've communicated this as well. I don't have any contacts and unfortunately I cannot help/arrange for cheaper transport. I understand that it is difficult to navigate that market right now, but I will be very flexible with dates and storage. And to make this simpler - if the winner is located within a day-driving distance from me (apologies to all on the West Coast) - if time and weather permits, I will personally deliver the car in exchange for a nice dinner and some good drinks.... :-)) Good luck!January 7th, 2022 at 10:24am ESThobbsm3 (71) 0@600SEC_AMG, what a gem you have here! I agree with you, @boatymcboatface and others that cars in this age range will need so much love that until one has done the heavy lifting, most people do not see the labor of love cars can be. After
