The engine has been completely rebuilt in the last 5 years at great expense. This includes new bearings, valves, solex carbs, rebuilt starter, magnito generator, and safety clutch plate. Starts and runs perfectly.

We're talking more than half a mil and you're sweating the paint job? Paint is cheap. I'll do it for next to nothing.

I'm surprised Dowly isn't bidding. It's likely to be the closest thing he'll get to a working Stug.

A Hetzer is not a StuG. I guess he goes for all or nothing.

Okay sounds good. We'll park it right next to the Aircraft Carrier we bought a while back.

Probably extremely high or low depending on how you measure it.
