There was some comments during that auction- it was offered twice - about the “complete, body off”, restoration. Sure did not look like one after looking at the engine compartment, undercarriage and in process photos, to me. Really more a body shop restoration with a new interior. I like ‘41 Mercs as I had one before and this one fairly close was attractive to bid on, but the aforementioned aspects put me off.

So is this sale on a highly visible web auction a sign of the times or really the fact that many buyers on that site know what they are looking at? Thus it sold for about what it was worth after adding in the buyers fee and potential shipping.
