    Late last summer got a letter from a guy in Florida (live in Nebraska) asking about my car and asked that I contact him if I had thought about selling. I did the search found he was legit so out of curiosity I called. He said had heard about my car at a show in Minneapolis. They guy was up front, informed and gave a name of a friend of his who worked for 1 of the big Auction Houses and if I was thinking of selling I should call his buddy.
    Strange things happen and it is a very small world. Who looks for these cars in Nebraska, so don't discount these encounters.

    Well I guess it's no longer a secret😵Lol

    Everyone sells your name these days, even the people who say they don't and won't, info is the new currency.
    We can all look forward to the days when the market isn't white hot and everyone doesn't want our cars again, I just hope it happens once I clear my parking lot.

    I received a call yesterday as well. I wasn't home so he left a voice mail message. Called me by my first name and said a buddy of mine told him I had a Porsche. Wanted me to call him back. Very vague as to what he actually wanted. Needless to say I didn't return his call.
