Default C5 Frederik back again

Hi, I´m back again.
Hope some of you remember me, the one with the little lift many years ago.

Still have my C5, but don´t drive it so much.
Retired a year ago, no work at Mercedes any more, to be honest don´t miss it. Bought a Jeep, JKU, and like slow driving.
For autobahn races with the Vette I´m too old now.
Don´t flame me, I´m looking for a 65 Thunderbird convertible

Best to all that remember me.
Regards
Ewald Frederik

I certainly do remember you. You helped a lot of members get one of the Mercedes jacks for use on their C5s.

Welcome back - hope the forum is still a fun place to hang out for you.

Welcome back, Frederik! I got my Mercedes jack from you and still have it. Luckily, I've never had to use it.

Welcome back Frederik. I remember you and the Mercedes jack.
Do you have any more to sell?

As far as slow driving we don't exceed the posted speed limit here on the Corvette Forum!
Now about buying a FFFFFord, that is another F word here....

I joined in 2014, so I guess a few years ago would have been a bit late to "Know" you.

Your looking for a 65 Tbird got me to thinking about the bird I sold to be able to buy my C5 convertible.
I had this 66 Town Landau for for a few years, then the Corvette bug bit me .
The bird was fully restored.
Sold it to a guy in Australia.

I liked the bird, but once Corvette fever hit me, there was no turning back.

Bob.

@ Mike98SilVert
Sorry, no more to sell. But if you need something from good old Germany, let me know. I can buy it and send it to you.

@Bob
What a beautiful Bird. This red and white is a perfect combination.
I sold a 82 Corvette collector edition to buy a Porsche and sold the Porsche to be able to buy the 98 vette I still have. But times change. And my mind too.
