And to Jims question, what happened to the new substitute Fahrzeugbrief/title of Jens: normally the valid Fahrzeugbrief/title is handed over to the buyer after payment as only the possession of the Fahrzeugbrief/title declares ownership. Therefore I believe that the substitute was handed over to the buying company from US also (this company could never prove possession of the car in Germany without the title). This works vice versa: here in germany you can not register a car imported from the US without the original american title and this american title is kept by the authorities that deliver the new german Fahrzeugbrief/title.
I believe proper way to handle Fahrzeugbrief on export was to cut left top corner of latest brief at 45 degrees 2" clip to make it invalid in Germany but available for next registration. That paper might have slipped through to first owner in US unless US took it away back then. Keeping previous county title might be newer thing in at least in EU countries. This was done mandatory in EU as late as only past 10-15 years to prevent registering multiple scam same VIN cars in different countries using same papers.
Unfortunately Bremen is a 350km drive (one way) - not so easy in Corona times. The car in Bremen (9288100899) should actually be a 240HP car (model year 1978)?

It has been toooooo quiet --- this thread lately.
Does time really stand still in the chill silence of winter storage?
Do the ghosts of our cars origins linger about casting shadows that no-one sees?
Do our cars dream of their crazed owners return with stored electrons ready to bring them back to life, and fun and summer?
Do they dream of summer evenings out?
Or, do our cars dream of gathering from near and far to celebrate all things - great and small...

Damn that sounds otherwordly. Like death on the doorstep. Love that deep baritone Italiano sound.
