You can have not 1, Not 2 but 3 of Hitlers old cars. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/29/three-mercedes-benz-hitler-cars-on-sale-for-9-million-w-video/

No, and if I did I wouldn't spend it on that.

[ACUDANUT]

 Maybe for 9,000. It would be cool.

wow, to own something that a murderer rode in.. hmmmm.  nope, cant say i would.  personally, those things should be crushed. not because they are historical (in which they are from a generational concept) but because everyone will want to make money off them just because they used to be the crazed mad man's vehicles. they will promote them because they used to be his and not because they are cool looking mercedes'.

Now, if someone wanted them for being totally restored historical vehicles, and did not mention adolf, then of course someone should buy them (of course they would not be offered for such a nutso price).

Cash for Clunkers comes to mind.

Are those 6x6? Kinda cool

[Todd Wilson]

If I had a few 100mil laying around i would buy them up as fast as I could. They would be a great addition to  a museum of history and WWII. And I would pay RD a million a year to be my personal driver and drive me around to all the shows in it!

As you can see in the pictures the cars are at Kruse Auction Park in Auburn Indiana.  Dean Kruse has, what is said to be the largest collection of German WWII memorabilia in the world in his WWII museum.  It has also been in local papers he is very strapped for cash.  It does not surprise me he is trying to unload a few of items.

Those are early cars because after the attempted assination of a high ranking offical in the reich Hitler had  bullet proof cars built  "atkins p cars"   (spelling is probably wrong) as far as I remember 2 remain one recovered from under the floor of a russian barn and was "snuck" our before the fall of the wall.   The other was used in schindlers list

I have a ton of pictures from LIFE of germany and Hitler and early on he was outside in the open an awful lot. I thought this was odd especially in this day and age of kevlar suits and big limos that are bullet proof. I always wondered why someone didnt take a shot at him.
