That's a very good way to start an incident. To anyone that has a following for Elvis, that's like saying something derogatory about your sister. Tread lightly my friend...

Apparently you guys are less concerned with helping here, and more concerned with testing my resolve.
Ask DARISC how that worked out for him...

I think they have helped. Didn't two people post the whereabouts of the vehicle in the picture?

And making posts like that is just asking for more smart assed responses. You couldn't get more by offering to pay for them.

A few have actually helped. I'm referring to wdfifteen and 2porscheguy. They are the ones prompting smart-assed responses. Thanks for your viewpoint though.

OK Don, I'll apologize for hijacking your thread....it's uncalled for.

Sorry I can't help but, just to clarify, you're searching for and hoping to find the actual vehicle, the Messerschmidt, in that picture that you've posted of Elvis P and others?

Ok Don. If you must have THE Messserschmitt that belonged to Elvis, your best bet of locating it is to contact Julie Lansky. Bernard died in 2012, but Julie still operates the Lansky Brothers shop. It is located in the first floor of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis.

Address: The Peabody Memphis, 149 Union Avenue #9, Memphis, TN 38103
Phone: (901) 405-7625

Lansky Bros. Online



As for me...... I'm outta here.

We can keep going if that's what you want to do. It's your call. I'm just here looking for information. Again, DARISC didn't fair too well when he tangled with me. He ended up PM-ing me to stop the hurt. Let's not go there.
I'm not looking for a fight, only information. I don't know how to be any more clear than that.
Oh, what's that line from that movie?... oh yeah, "A man's got to know his limitations"

If I read this right, WD told you it was a ME and that his friends father owned one is how he knew. I didn't see him offer to sell that one to you but was just offering information.

I would have been a lot clearer if you'd asked the question you wanted answered. Here’s a tip: If you want to know where a specific vehicle is and if it's for sale, ask “Where is this car and is it for sale?” NOT “Can anyone identify this car?”
And you do appear to be looking for a fight.
