very cool..

[Steve Sears]

Jim,
What was very, _VERY_ cool in the vintage market was the eBay auction for a 
job lot of old DKW's in Pennsylvania just before Christmas.  Buried in the 
pile of rusty parts (most of the cars were Juniors like mine) there was the 
remains of  a fiberglass convertible.  It turned out to be a DKW kit car - 
designed by Howard "Dutch" Darrin (of Kaiser-Fraser fame).  The Darrin DKW's 
are nearly the "Holy Grail" of Deekdom - only 25 were made, built up at 
Flintridge Motors in California. The lot went for around $1K (the "Holy 
Grail" being an actual Auto Union Spider prototype).  I've been talking to 
the guy who bought the lot - he wants the roadster, but is passing on the 
Juniors.  (Now I've got to figure out how to make a vulture trip to the 
Carlisle area before April.....well in advance of my planned attendance of 
the Imports at Carlisle at the end of May....argh......)
Thanks for the Craigslist link - you could really make a scene at a local 
Audi cruise night with one of those bug foggers.
