My car was a true Garage find (climate controlled), and ready to be driven. Shortly thereafter Dan (Benz Dr.) went thru the linkage tour and she's been running like a Swiss watch ever since then some 12,000 + miles. A true driver.
My favorite picture(s) still have to be when I first laid eyes on my car sometime in March 2013 in the local Millionaires garage in it he had 17 American cars (my estimate at the time of his restored American cars from the 50s and 16s by RM was around $4 Million US Dollars) and this 1969 280 SL Pagoda.
I recall asking him at the time "Loyd what is this German Square Head doing in this garage with those American Classic Cars? They must be arguing all night long!" He simply replied "Dieter it's for sale my wife gave her back to me in a divorce settlement a few years ago, I need the space to bring home another car I had restored by RM). I ask him for a price and I purchased it shortly after my inspection and test drive.
Loyd passed in April this year may he RIP (I understand his son sold most of the American Classics so people tell me at the local car show that I visited a few times this year).
