Slightly off-topic, but in a way I am glad that my collection lacks the 'special' factor...my GP's original engine is long gone, my Safari is a heavily patina-ed survivor and the others are nice but nothing Jay Leno is gonna beat down my door for...

Anyway, keep us abreast of how things transpire.
All you gotta do is do a 'completed listings' search on your favorite e-bay search right now, and you will find that for 14 pages of stuff that is completed only about 1 page worth has sold or had bids. I am glad I did not do this before I listed the stuff I just did or I would have just bagged it. It is really bad b/c that means that even more stuff will end up turned into shipping containers or whatever.
