Years back...I found a restored 67 2000 for sale in Mexico City.
The owners had purchased the car from the Mexican Government. The car was
illegally brought into the country, so it was seized by the authorities.
The owners offered to drive the car all the way to Tiajuna so I could
purchase it!
But alas..back many years ago..~$6000 was a lot of money for a roadster.
Oh Well.
