Do you know this guys email address?  It is not in the message. I would
like to see a list of his 1/18th models.  I already have almost all the
famous Mercedes race cars, but who knows.

I have, sadly, received this from a friend. Perhaps someone here is
interested. You may reach Mark directly at <markweberracer at aol.com>:

Hello from Florida,

  I am here helping some friends cope with the death grip of cancer.  My

long-time car buddy, Chuck Fischer, has but weeks to go before cancer
takes its deadly toll. 

  Chuck was a Mercedes guy for years, collecting 4 or 5 of the
drive-around kind and many more of the display-case variety.  I am
trying to get his extensive model collection inventoried and packed up.

I think there are about 300-400 models.  Most are race cars.  Many,
maybe half, are DTM touring cars.  There are a lot of Indy cars and a
lot of McLaren F1 cars.  Most are 1:43 scale but they range from 1:87 to

1:18th.  Most are in their original boxes.  There are also about 30
unbuilt kits, all scales and descriptions.  There are several
transporters  (haulers to the Nascar fans) as well.

  He also has about every book about Mercedes ever written, including
some coffee-table ones, in German and English, that need to be lifted
with a crane.  Sales brochures, MB club monthlies, service manuals, etc,

etc. etc.

  All kinds of stuff!  So..... does anybody know a collector that can
help us out?

  It would be great if one person wanted the full magilla but parting it

out is OK too. 

  I have no idea what its worth but each one of the 73 DTM cars in the
Paul's Model Art series probably sold for $125 new 10-15 years ago.  
There is a receipt for a glass enclosed  F-1 car for $250.

  This collection took years to build, I hope I can find it a new home.

  Please e-mail me if you know of somebody that might want to expand
their collection.

Mark
