I was an E-2 making pennies. I had to borrow the $500 from my Director of Operations because the bank was closed for the weekend - paid him back Monday morning. Great guy.
Drove the car for about a year until a chaplain from Ramstein saw it when he was TDY to my base. He offered me the $1500 once he found out I couldn't take it home and I was an E-2 - he knew I paid $500 for it. He took it back to Ramstein to fully restore it. I guess his heirs have/will make a lot of money at some point. I'm just glad he made both of us happy.
What an awesome-looking car! Too bad you didn't keep it. Seems like a collector would pay big bucks for that.
