Yeah... except, private sale... :)
Looks like I've caught up with Stampie.
If you know... you know.
If you don't know, you don't need to know. LOL
Yep, un-huh.
Woah, wait, the club is actually a flashlight. OK That's legit.

With a complete serial number, a bank should replace wrecked bill with a good one. The Federal Reserve has a process for reclaiming / removing from service damaged bills.
Yeah, I think you have to possess more than 50% of the bill still too. IDK. I like the story it tells more than the 20$.

That's a good haul. That's way more than I found and with self trade for FMV rules now you could zero out the car.

I don''t know what I am looking at but I am pretty sure I shouldn't be looking at it, if you follow me.
Looks like a really small bag of decorative yard gravel. I'm sure that's not it, though. 
Found this patch in the car.
Houston, we have a mascot!

Nice
Time to count...
42.42
Price is right rules?
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
WOW you are ultra pro level expert.
45.46
so far
Im sure there is a little more yet.
FYI: roughly $12.50 per pound of mixed/assorted American coins.
Nice haul btw. Intrigued by this project
Ok kids: maybe That's why these cars wound up wrecked and in The junkyard. Friends don't let friends smoke cat litter.
A little more thought.
I like that the slk seat back is where it is in relation to the Ghia.
That is a structural part of the SLK, that will align well with the back of the Ghia shell.
Change the fold down seat back to a solid panel, because the fuel tank will be in the area of the old aft luggage compartment.
Note that the 1st figure is the best image as the Ghia base is a drawing, where the 2nd is a photo that has a little skew to it.
I have always wanted to have a classic Ghia style interior.
So this works from that stand point.
However, making the GHIA doors longer would have some aesthetic value...
Imagine a two seater with the original doors lengthend to include the 1/4 glass.
bye bye b pillar. :)
reskin the 320 doors with ghia outers + front of ghia 1/4 panel?
use slk320 door jambs?
probably a no go due to width...
Thoughts?
use ghia a pillar and front of ghia door shell, lengthend with SLK door shell and use slk c pillar / striker?

In their minds, spending $15000 on "period-correct" AMG mods to get an outdated motor to 300HP is the ONLY way to go.
You have three boxes here. One for the engine, one for the passengers and one for the trunk. Lengthen the engine box as much as needed to house the new engine and firewall. Slide the passenger box back the corresponding amount and absorb the movement of the passenger box into the trunk box.
At this point I would be looking at moving the entire vw greenhouse box, including A- post ,B post and doors, backwards until the door met the rear fender flare. Maybe even a bit more if need be integrating some of the flare into the VW door.
Make a cut across the car about 2 inches forward of the front trunk opening. Separate the rear quarters from the rest of the body and slide them forward until the arc of the VW roofline falls even with the rear of the car.
This leaves you with a gap up front and an overhang in the rear to clean up. How hard can that be?

Oh, now that's funny!
Can't believe I didn't think of that! Thanks!
