Rick, the beauty of our cars is how easy they are to fix whenever this is a mishap. Just ask Shawn Stafford, he does it all the time with his Anyway, it must be something about the time of year I keep having this issue. Maybe because I just pull it out around this time of the year, so I'm rusty driving it? Anyway, you can help me fix it this weekend if you want

I'll be over Sunday morning after the Easter Egg Hunt I have at my house for the homeless kids.

Rob, Indeed, I counted at least 7 "family special" 1982 Weissach's. They all appeared to have the factory original black paint with fine gold metal-flake and 6-speed transmissions.

Waiting on my buddy to send back the permissable pics - I told him this cannot wait beyond today!

Well, I finally received the permitted prints back. They are not all the ones I wanted to show and it is interesting which ones were omitted, but nonetheless, I hope these pictures give you all a good idea of the SCALE of this un-believe-able find!

Amazing to find such a huge collection with no rubbies - hard to tell about sunroofs. What a find!

I can't take all the credit. This one was based on one I read about in a Mopar forum about 20 years ago. They were Chrysler 300 Letter Cars (300A, 300B, etc). Darnit! I forgot to include the part about how they all started right up!

The toy cars idea came from linderpat and WyattsRide's replies. I had no real plans for posting any pictures. When I saw linderpat's wrecked car photo I LMAO and thought it would be hilarious to post a bunch of wrecked 928s as "the photos". I didn't want to detract from their contributions, however, so they became the scaled cars, instead. See? I'm a good person, really! 😁
