Nothing was for sale.

@Craigsu - Same thing in Texas. They even have a calculator on the tax assessor's website that you can look up the value/what they will tax you. Before this system, you would need to present bill of sale and they would go off of that, and to combat the anomaly of 1000s of used cars with a $250 value that flooded the streets, they created this much more streamlined system. Don't pay much attention @mbeamdream , I have found that there is a surprising amount of people in this world that bootlick taxes.

Someone is getting a steal!!!

Awesome bid. Keep it going dudes!!!

I can't begin to imagine how much fun this would be to own. 

@tonsofgas Are you able to post a cold start and/or a driving video? Thank you 

@Mbeamdream NC is interesting when it comes to determining value.  As part of the registration process, rather than pay a defined property tax, residents pay an annual state highway use tax of 3% of the car's value, not to exceed $250.  The specific method of determining value is actually in the hands of the tax assessor in the county where the car is registered, not the state.  With a newly registered car the baseline value would most likely be determined by a bill of sale, but the NC DMV doesn't actually require any document like this be presented when registering a car in NC.  To say it's a bit confusing would be an understatement.

Please note that a state can and will reference auction results for pricing - as it is literally tied to the VIN of the car so best not openly commit tax fraud on these platforms.  @seller - were you able to resolve the driver seat issue with it moving forward. Invoices simply state part no longer available for the switch (which really sucks) was the shop able to engineer a fix? The seats are too rad to ditch. 

Hello, how much for a shipment to Paris ?
Thank you 

Well done on the much needed upgrades for this car. It really came together well!

@DaMaestro  I'm a native of Charlotte and, by way of comparison, the entire bill for my 1991 Volvo 240 wagon's NC registration and property taxes for Charlotte and Mecklenburg County was $84.52.  The Volvo is valued at $500 by the state.  I'm willing to bet the state would value this car as a plain old M-B, not a KS.

@CraigSu , I believe that is just to dodge property taxes, In California the authorities are actively tracking those folks down. But then again, doubt the property taxes on an 83 MB would be much in NC.

I understand Montana is a popular place for registering exotic cars but this car is in Charlotte.  At its age it doesn't even require an inspection of any kind in NC, just annual registration fees.

I need this!

This an amazing car.  
A very early Koenig Specials that was long time part of an esteemed Youngtimer collector in Germany.  During it's tenure in our collection, we performed some needed maintenance items before offering it for sale here previously.  We were thrilled to see that our friend and avid Youngtimer collector @TonsOfGas was the winner of the sale.  He is a prestigious and passionate Youngtimer collector and enthusiast with a strong motorsports derived culture and approach to car ownership.  
I have sent him copies of the German Paperwork supporting in-period build and authenticity to post here, which are also available to see in the previous listing of this car in this platform.  This is probably one of the best Koenig Specials SECs you can find, a no excuses collectible that will make the next caregiver happy and proud to own.
Happy bidding,
Bernard

@tonsOfGas - so $35K invested post purchase? and did you keep the prior wheels?

I'm not sure if the Patina Collective history is a plus here.

Regardless, great looking KS - certainly a very distinctive design. Not sure why AMG parts are included as it does seem incongruous.

I thought nothing was for sale.
