#1 I had a '54 rare Mercedes purchased in Argentina. Brought it back to USA and couldn't get parts to make it function perfectly. Sold it to a Lufthansa guy who shipped it back to Germany. I still dream about that beast.

#2 For the non car folks here. The Pebble Beach event is by invitation. The cars that are invited are rare, historic, and 10 point cars, meaning as close to perfection as possible. For example, if the guy who put the calking on the fire wall when this car went through the line left a twist of calk at the end, the judges will know which way the calk twists and if its not right the car is downgraded. The research into these cars is amazing... This is an honor for this school and the team that researched and built it...
