Thanks for your input!!

The car originally had an '85 motor but the guy I bought it from took the '85 motor and auto trans out and installed the '88 one and a T-5.......BTW, he was the 3rd owner and I am the 4th!!

The guy I have negotiated with in Germany now wants me to sell to another guy there for duty/tax reasons but I have said no.

I told the buyer to simply have his US partner buy it from me and then sell it to whomever he pleases......I want no involvement or liability once it leaves my possession!!

Stay Tuned!!

Here are the people that are negotiating with me and putting the deal together!!

We Help Locate, Ship, Inspect and Negotiate Specialty Vehicles

Anyone ever heard of them?? They are plowing forward like the Pope works for them......and I'm quite skeptical!!

Well......

I got a purchase agreement from them and it has some weird stuff in it and I complained so they dropped an entire paragraph pertaining to "disputes"!!

I next sent them some additional verbage today and will see what happens Monday??

If they go for it I'm in......if not it's a dead issue!!

Stay tuned!!

I should have posted before now...sorry!!

We loaded the car and crate with the hardtop in it onto an very nice enclosed car hauler on November 13th and it was in Ft. Lauderdale in a container ready to ship the 27th!!

The exporter called me to confirm and said it would sail the first week of December......probably in Bremerhaven, Germany by now??

Everything went smoothly.....so far?? I guess no news is good news??

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

The Sebring made it to Bremehaven, Germany on 12-22-14 and went through Customs OK!!

New owner picking it up this week and beginning the registration process......hopefully he can figger out how to date it "pre-'85"....if not the registration will be expensive!!

Photos of it in Germany forthcoming!!

BTW.....this would NOT have happened had it not been for the US company that coordinated it and dispersed the funds!!
