I come from a car family, in fact, grew up sweeping bays, stocking parts, washing cars, etc. in my grandfathers dealership in Tucson Az. He was a dealer for various brands but for the time I remember he sold mercedes and datsun up until he sold the franchises and closed it in 1976 time frame. Anyway, I have lots of memorabilia and have looked casually for many years for a benz or z car sold at his dealership, "Bill Edel Motors" and today I bought a 260Z that the original owner kept for 30+ years still in Tucson. I would like to say its in perfect shape but when parked it was put under a tree about 6 years ago so the cowl area has a little rust but nothing that can't be fixed. rest is original paint, interior, and drivetrain intact. Cool part, in the glovebox was the warranty card, owners manual, etc. stamped and sold on my 10th birthday by my grandfather. I guess this is the new largest piece of memorabilia you could say and eventually will sit right up there with my deuce!!
