I pay 4,000DM for my 68 Notchback, I had to have it after that very smooth test ride. The lady that was doing my shipping papers ask me how much the car will cost, I told her ( thinking how much i pay and how will cost me to bring it to the US the the price may be 5,000$. She smile and told me that her will charge 900$ to bring it to Houston, TX and that they will insured for 7,000$, their car value according to type, year and model. I will not sell my Notch not even for 10,000$ ( well...maybe). I do not think nobody is fool if you feel comfortable paying certain amount of money for certain item..to feel good about it is what it counts!!
