I see "barn find dollar signs" flashing in front of someone's eyes. I wish people would stop trying to play the "rarity" game. Except for the originals, rarity isn't going to get you anything especially when it comes to one offs like these sound to be. These are not going to be cheap to buy and suddenly fund your retirement. For a reason.

The story of "someone found the bucks and tubes in the trash and AC agreed to make cars from them" also seems like fiction. No manufacturer is going to risk their status by doing that.

And, I wouldn't even think about writing a check without an on-site PPI and for the amount you think they're worth, a personal visit as I wouldn't take the word of a third party, especially from a foreign country. The PPI is just a test to see if the in-person visit is worth it. Are they in the US? If these are in England you've got to pay shipping and import duties.

Look elsewhere.
