I would sell this relic immediately at a fire sale price. Or, I'd donate it to charity. I would not want to own such a memory.

[Bizhvywt]

I’d sell it and promptly tithe on the profit.

Anyone seen Rat Race? "THIS is Hitler's car!!"

[a fool in paradise]

"It's Hitler's car, he's a devil,..."

HELP! The devil's in my car.
HELP! The devil's in my car.
HELP! The devil's in my car...

[G Larry]

A certain someone might want to use it in his campaign this fall...

[griswold3]

My thoughts exactly!
Rat Race is on my list!

I’d do a top-down original restore. Then auction. Belongs in a museum.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I was just about to post this. This was probably the funniest scene in that movie, especially when he drove the car through the wall at the veteran’s convention.

Thought this was going to be a reverse of those ‘Hitler finds out .....’ vids.

At least it is not an evil SUV...

[N. Theknow]

He should sell it to a cab company so people could “Heil” a cab.

[Right Wing Assault]

I would sell this relic immediately at a fire sale price.

He's been offered $1.5 million. Would that qualify as a fire sale price?

[cuban leaf]

—The original owner did not know the car’s history.—

That’s because he died. In Berlin. In a bunker.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

I’m waiting for the video of Hitler in the bunker having a tantrum when he finds out that some guy in New Jersey is going to get his Mercedes.

[OrangeHoof]

I would put it up for auction. Heck, I could use the money.

Some history buff or Nazi-lover would probably bid high for the vehicle. I would DEFINITELY inspect the trunk first!

[rod1]

Wait wasn’t that a scene in the movie Rat Race.

"New Jersey?? My car might wind up in the hands of an Italian and I CAN'T STAND those Italians!!!"

[Red Badger]

...or was it John Voight?...............

[lone star annie]

Wonder if the new owner is Jewish? This car does belong in a museum or at the Eagle’s Nest next to the house.
