On the eve of the Iranian Revolution of 1978, as the Shah was fleeing the country, his 1934 Mercedes 540K Autobahnkurier (gifted to him by the Third Reich) was offered to my grandfather for the equivalent of about $3,000 USD. My grandpa passed on it, fearing retribution from the Islamic Republic for supporting the monarchy if they found the car in his possession.
I still don't have the heart to tell him how much it would be worth if he had stashed it until today.
