Default Hey you in BAgdhad? (sp?)

I know a lot of water has gone under the bridge since the Hussein boys were dispatched to 72 virginland
but has anything come up on the cars they had stuffed away here and there around town?

One guy claimed he has been there a few times to see them, I guess a bunch of Testarossas and more current stuff repaidly declining in value

but the real treasure to be found in town is a prewar Mercedes 540K, two seater, Erdmann & Rossi body once ordered for the pre-war Emperor of Iraq, a guy who loved cars. When last seen, it was in a parking garage near the embassies.
It was restored by a restorer in Germany for Saddam by his cousin, the King of Jordan , as a gift but I figure there's a chance the German might have substituted a ringer figuring the Husseins wouldn't be too long for this world...
