Zenop Tuncer, owner of Euro Tech Motors, stands next to the Mercedes-Benz 320 Cabriolet D convertible, which was previously owned by Adolf Hitler. (WCBS)

The serial number had a small eagle on top of a swastika, indicating it had been made for the Nazis. (Credit: WCBS)

-------------------------------------

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

I’d be too much of a history geek not to keep it. Yes, Hitler was a monster, worthy of every evil accolade we can throw at him, but he’s still the man who started the single biggest war to date in human history. Same for Ghengis Khan’s saddle, Stalin’s backscratcher, etc.

BUT, I could think of things to do with it that I could imagine pissing Hitler off in Hell. I’m thinking Tuesdays would be “offer free rides to seniors at the Jewish center” day...set up a route to local Delis and Synogouges.
