January 15, 2008: The '73 510 has been sold, for $5,000, to the first person who made a $5,000 offer.

I made a mess of selling this car. After frustrating and confusing people with a an oddball "offer $5,000 and I'll pick a winner" method, I also managed to get people PO'd at my by trying to change the sale terms to the usual way that cars are sold between private parties, which is, "in-your-dreams price, or best offer ..."

I apologize to the good people that I disappointed, or got mad at me, by blowing the sale of the car. I know that gas is expensive and that your time is valuable, and I'm sorry that some of you made useless trips to Sacramento from the Bay Area or beyond.
